Blood Traces: Bernie’s Iraq War Hypocrisy
Sanders supported Bill Clinton’s war on Serbia, voted for the 2001 Authorization Unilateral Military Force Against Terrorists (AUMF), which pretty much allowed Bush to wage war wherever he wanted, backed Obama’s Libyan debacle and supports an expanded US role in the Syrian Civil War. More problematic for the Senator in Birkenstocks is the little-known fact that Bernie Sanders himself voted twice in support of regime change in Iraq.

BOOK: The Muslims Are Coming!: Islamophobia, Extremism, and the Domestic War on Terror
DuckDuckGo Search <The Muslims Are Coming>
This book is a re-packaging of Sanders' 1997 book, Outsider in the House, with a new introduction and a new afterword written for the September 2015 re-release. Our 2015 excerpts are from the new introduction and a new afterword. The bulk of the book is the same autobiography as the 1997 book — Bernie's rise to political power through campaigns for Mayor of Burlington and then his election to the U.S. House — which we discuss in our review of the earlier version — so we'll focus in this review on the 2016 political campaign.
Sanders describes in this book purposes of political campaigns other than winning election — such as “raising the right issues” and “shifting the framework of the debate.” In the 2015-2016 presidential campaign, Sanders has single-handedly created a meaningful Democratic primary, where the “right issues” get discussed because Sanders' candidacy has “shifted the framework of the debate.”
