Bernie Sanders: I'm concerned about GOP "war talk"

[cal04]

Bernie Sanders, long known for his anti-war positions, raised a red flag Sunday on the rhetoric coming from GOP circles about Mideast crises.

On Sunday, Sanders said he is "very concerned about a lot of the war talk that I am hearing from my Republican colleagues who apparently have forgotten the cost of war and the errors made in Afghanistan and Iraq."

"I think really the issue now is not who is at fault, the issue is now what we do," Sanders said when asked by host Chuck Todd whether the policies of former President George W. Bush or President Obama were to blame. "What we do is bring the region together."

Sanders said countries like Saudi Arabia and Turkey are going to "have to get their hands dirty and are going to have to get on the ground" to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). He said the U.S., Britain, France and other allies should be "supportive," but he does not believe in putting American troops into combat there.

1. I wish it were only the GOP. He's very diplomatic.

2. Yes merrily...

Bernie is being very diplomatic on this.

There are way too many members of the Democratic Party all too willing to blow lots of people to smithereens.

It's a sickness.
