In reply to the discussion: Somebody sure wants me to hate ISIS [View all]Cha
(297,123 posts)17. Yes, Senators Sanders and Warren want you "to hate ISIS" Ponder that..
Bernie stands with the President on this "Enormously complicated issue".. as he calls it. He disagrees with staying out of ISIS like some around are clamoring on about.
As he stated it's an "International effort" and guess what.. "they have to put money in it too."
Hartman and he talked about one republiCon saying.. they'll "blast him if it doesn't work and ask why he didn't do it sooner if it does." Sounds like a familiar whine.
Senators Warren and Sanders are on board with the President..

Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she supports President Obama's decision to authorize airstrikes in Iraq
BOSTON Warning against a new U.S. war in Iraq, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Friday stood by President Barack Obamas decision to authorize targeted airstrikes to help defend Americans in Erbil, Iraq, and provide aid to a religious minority taking refuge in the Sinjar mountains.
Its a complicated situation right now in Iraq and the president has taken very targeted actions to provide humanitarian relief that the Iraqi government requested, and to protect American citizens, Warren told reporters. But like the president I believe that any solution in Iraq is going to be a negotiated solution, not a military solution. We do not want to be pulled into another war in Iraq.
Senator Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said she supports president Barack Obama's decision to authorize new airstrikes in Iraq but cautioned against U.S. involvement in a new war in the Middle East.

What reason do you have to think this criticism of O administration is hate for him?

Because the argument that Obama is "exactly the same as Bush" has no basis in reality

Consensus among the pro-war faction here seems to be that Obama is attacking ISIL

Do you have a link that discusses the greater, non-military scope of the plan? [n/t]

He voted against training and arming Syrians against ISIS; he favours airstrikes in Iraq

Nope, you're wrong and in deep denial.. Bernie voted to not fund arming Syrians on the GROUND..
