Sanders’ Iraq War Opposition Was More Complicated

“Sen. Bernie Sanders has for years cast his opposition to the Iraq War as near-absolute, insisting he knew the Bush administration was lying from the start about the threat to the U.S. posed by Saddam Hussein and his regime’s alleged production of weapons of mass destruction,” NBC News reports.

“But a review of the congressional record and statements before the House vote in October 2002 to authorize the U.S. to use military force show that his position wasn’t as absolute as he claims.”
