Sen. Sanders on on Netanyahu Speech today



Disturbed that he was allowed in a joint session, undermining the Presidents ability to conduct foreign policy which is what the Constitution provides the president to do.
A lot of the tone of his speech bothered me as well.
Soon it will be the 12th Anniversary of the war in Iraq, and how then, there was NO solution, war was the only way
The result, opening up a can of worms, thousands of brave soldiers killed
Do everything we can to prevent a war

I can count on one hand the politicians I support.

Senator Sanders is #1.

Retired Secretary of State Clinton does not even make the second hand.

Let's give peace a chance.

And to sweeten the deal, how about Israel & US agree to disarm of all nuclear weapons.

The Logan Act made that crystal clear when the original written intent was in doubt.
