(57,936 posts)Hillary votes to declare a war and invade a country with no reason..
Bernie votes against declaring a war and invading a country with no reason.
Hillary votes to fund the war so that we don't just send our troops there with no equipment, no uniforms, no food, no benefits when they come home perhaps injured and no benefits for their families if they die.
Is Bernie supposed to vote against that equipment, those uniforms, the food and the benefits?
Hillary and her friends vote to start a war for no good reason. Bernie votes to help our troops who are fighting Hillary's war.
Would you seriously have him do otherwise?
He was right in voting against the Iraq War and also right to vote to provide our troops with what they need. There is no conflict in those two votes. They both protect Americans.
Hillary was wrong to vote for the Iraq War Resolution. If you believe that Bernie was wrong to vote to fund the implementation of that Resolution, then you must concede that Hillary was wrong and showed bad judgment in voting for the Resolution in the first place. That is the logic here.
The wrong was in Hillary's vote for the IWR. Even she admits that on an honest day.
