91. The IWR is all that matters.

Without the IRW there is no AUMF. Period. End of discussion. So let's get that fact straight.

Then we can move on to the AUMF, which had he not voted for would have seemed ridiculous.

I stand by my original statement.

Cough.	MADem	Apr 2016	#16
Cough you're using Counterpunch as a source? And by a Whitewater exposer?	Armstead	Apr 2016	#27
Oh, let's whine about the SOURCE and ignore the FACTS presented--by someone to Berrrnie's left.	MADem	Apr 2016	#48

I hope he does. RELENTLESSLY!!!	MADem	Apr 2016	#32
He should keep telling the truth.	Broward	Apr 2016	#53
Yeah, go TEAM!!! Slash and Bern! Tear down the Democratic Party!!!	MADem	Apr 2016	#57
He's just pointing out the consequences of the disastrous war that Hillary voted for.	Broward	Apr 2016	#65
LOL....you see what you want to see! He's not "just" doing that.	MADem	Apr 2016	#66
I see that you trust someone who voted for the Iraq War, but not someone that's pointing	Broward	Apr 2016	#67

No--just saying silly things doesn't make them so.	MADem	Apr 2016	#84

That's inadvertently true.	Vinca	Apr 2016	#19
Oh, but who predated her with a carte blanche vote?	MADem	Apr 2016	#22
Bernie said no to the vote that counted and the bombs dropped soon after.	Vinca	Apr 2016	#24
He said YES to the vote that made it easy for Bush to wage war.	MADem	Apr 2016	#25
So after a war begins he should vote to not supply the troops?	Vinca	Apr 2016	#31
