Sen. Sanders: Hot to Trot for War (Republican Letter)

Last edited Tue Mar 10, 2015, 09:47 PM - Edit history (1)


Sen. Bernie Sanders discusses Republican senators' efforts to undercut the president's negotiations with Iran on a nuclear deal.
What really troubles me: Apparently, these fellows have NOT yet learned the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan
Talks about the petition on the White House site to file charges against the Senators
Al saying Over 75,000 have signed



thank you mopinko

They are trying to circumventing the UN Security Council and 5 other NUCLEAR members and Germany on these talks and the Commander and Chief of this nation.
Republicans hate the UN for this very reason:
UN trying to save humanity from psychopaths and apparently now there are 47 of them in the Senate who don't like humanity

Gosh, I'm glad I watched this and saw there is a petition.

However there are two epic events that allowed the war criminals to prosper. Nancy Peloci's "impeachment is off the table" and Obama's time to move forward and not look back.

Until the war criminals and perpetrators of crimes against humanity are prosecuted, America will ferment enemies around the world. The ramification of which is that most US cities, look like war zones with decaying infrastructure because too much money is spent on a militarized state.

The petition only requires 100K signatures, in order for the white house to consider it. After my signature, it was over 125K. We need to keep this going, to set a record for signatures. This is SERIOUS SHIT!!!!!!

Sign now!!!. Pass it on..... Make it viral.

"Republican hotheads" is what the infamous 47 deserve to be called.

What poor judgment they have shown.

This is going to haunt all of them in upcoming elections.

The truth of the matter is that Obama has not taken war off the table. He is simply trying along with a lot of other leaders of other nations to find a peaceful resolution for the problem of nuclear weapons landing in the hands of yet another volatile country.

In a better world, no country would have nuclear weapons or need any kind of weapons for that matter. But here we are. So we have to have weapons, but we need to do all we can to prevent the need to use them.

Screw the letter, measure them for combat fatigues and give them a weapon, when they land, and put them on the first C-41 going to Iran, bet they won't be so eager for war then.
