Unprepared and uninformed.

He may not be able to answer any questions but you have to admit
he's got that stump speech down cold.

If yes please provide a link showing that she read the report.

the foreign relations committee then it would be a concern.

Just more hot air, more kitchen sinks!

Why should she read this crap now?

Why the need to add juvenile emotion to the post? Can't you simply ask a question without trying to get attention using puerile hyperbole?

FEEL THE BERN - 2016

or what ?

I mean, VA maybe, but that would only really apply to servicemembers wounded at the Pentagon. Even with a clearance you don't just go read stuff you don't particularly have a need to know.

Remember when Ron Paul got excoriated for quoting it?

Why is Saudi Arabia threatening OUR Country if we release them? So they don't get embarrassed?
You're defending this? People died, they want answers. And until he's in a position where he could ACTUALLY give them, he does NOT need to read them. Because He wouldn't be able to TELL anyone yet.


What's wrong with you?

This alone absolutely disqualifies him for that office.

What's wrong with you?

They were sent to Congress in 2002. After receiving the report AT THE TIME he made the CORRECT response and voted AGAINST the Iraqi War Resolution.

Hillary received the same report and voted FOR the IWR.

The implication is pretty clear - one read it at the time, the other didn't.

Fourteen years later, Bernie is being asked if he has "read" (specifically) the recently "declassified" sections. He is answering truthfully that he has not. There is really no point to doing so. He has known the content for FOURTEEN YEARS. He knows what Bush and his enablers did. So do you.

He is not in a position to do anything about it. YET.

And calling for the declassification of something he hasn't read, and thus does not know the content of is the height of irresponsibility.

we were discussing the recently declassified sections of the 92 page report sent to Congress dealing with the fact that there was no justification for the Iraq War.

Now I am thinking you are talking about the recently declassified information on how the Bush administration stymied investigation into Saudi involvement?

Apologies if I confused the two! If I did, I am going to return to "it was 15 years ago and not a lot anyone running for President can do about it at the moment - everyone paying attention knew about it years ago."

This is not to minimize the importance of the "proof" but faux outrage means nothing unless someone is in a position to do something and President Obama is that person at the moment.

Unfortunately, for reasons we do not know, he is not pursuing this (that I have heard about).

The Saudi system is very different than ours - I do not pretend to understand the intricacies of their family and dynastic policy issues. All I can say is "what a mess!"

The Chair of the Senate Intelligence committee, Bob Graham, said every Senator should read it, and he voted against the war.

Why does he think he has to lie?

He has a problem with things that might tarnish his halo, like when he has to stop dealing with overblown & false rhetoric and needs to deal with reality.

Intellectual lightweight.

But with that being said, I don't believe he's particulary well rounded as a candidate.

Income inequality is his focus (he's right) and the other things in the grand scheme of things are afterthoughts to him.

At least that's the impression I have.

You're right. It could be worse.

as a cudgel to invade Iraq with. Clinton voted for it, and read literally NONE of the intel reports about the situation before condemning 30,000+ servicemen and women to death and maiming. This is a nonissue.

I sense a lack of interest - not a becoming trait

NSA: "Here's your Daily Briefing, President Sanders..."
POTUS: "Wait, wait ... don't show it to me! Best that I don't know."
NSA: "But why?"
POTUS: "Because the press may ask me questions, and I'll be able to honestly say that I don't know."
NSA: "Oh. Okay. I guess that makes sense."

...THOUSANDS of innocent people, including thousands of our kids injured and killed in the bogus war she voted for??

Answer my questions!

with the Saudi's?

selling jets to them as Sec. of State...taking their $ for the foundation, and taking who knows what from them for her PACs?

Maybe she's just used to "palling around with terrorists".

The Bush Admin kept these "un-redacted" pages in a secure vault, with something similar to a "need-to-know" clearance to view them.

as previously stated, Sen. Sanders doesn't meet that criteria, BUT Sec. Clinton has seen them...hence my question

So implying that he is not allowed to do so is untruthful
