Bernie Sanders: Savior or Seducer of the Anti-War Left?
by HOWARD LISNOFF
And here is where Sanders greatest equivocation has come. In spite of claims of being antiwar, his hawkish support of Clintons military actions in the 1999 Kosovo War caused one of his advisers to quit. When antiwar activists occupied Sanders office in 1999 because of that support of Clintons war policies, he had them arrested.
In 2001, Sanders did not support the vote in Congress to oppose the war in Afghanistan. Congresswoman Barbara Lee stood alone! This vote was followed by his support for appropriations to support both the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. In 2003 he supported the resolution that gave support to George W. Bush in both Iraq and in the larger war against terrorism, although Sanders has been a critic of the Iraq War.
Guess this doesn't count?
