The Cost of War | Bernie Sanders (Updated Video)



[font color="navy"size="3"face="times new roman"]Published on Jun 1, 2016
War is a gruesome, destructive thing, and should always be a last resort. Unfortunately, in the last 15 years, the United States government has acted recklessly and committed one of the worst foreign policy blunders in modern history.

The consequences of the Iraq War are still felt to this day. Over 4,000 US troops died during the war, with tens of thousands more left wounded, or filing for disability upon their return. The war and its subsequent conflicts also took the lives or wounded hundreds of thousands of Iraqi men, women and children - often non-combatants.[/font]

Any support of Hilliary is accepting that she was part of killing children. Those are the facts.
Twist it any way you want to relieve your guilt but Hilliary voted to kill children

Go ahead and say Bernie voted to Bomb Serbia. I think the 528 deaths are horrible.

Many human rights groups criticised civilian casualties resulting from military actions of NATO forces in Operation Allied Force. Both Serbs and Albanians were killed in 90 Human Rights Watch-confirmed incidents in which civilians died as a result of NATO bombing. It reported that as few as 489 and as many as 528 Yugoslav civilians were killed in the NATO airstrikes

Bernie learned and voted against Iraq. He even correctly predicted the rise of extremism.


While Hilliary didn't learn. Half a million Iraqi cilvilain deaths

Then she wants to bomb Libya with at least 1,000 civilians deaths

SHE is the kind of quality minds we need in Washington, making decisions that move this country into the future.

God, the idiots that are there with her today make me want to throw up.
