Bernie mourns another war-criminal

Why the fuck does he do this? First McCain, now even worse, George HW Bush – son of a Wall-Street banker, the man who ran the fucking CIA during Operation Condor, served as Vice President under Reagan and was the president who initiated the Gulf War not even to mention his denunciations of 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Remember these whenever anyone claims that Bernie is somehow “anti-establishment” and not a servant of capital

political correctness

Pretty sure he's just the one that ended it. HW was a lot of things, most of them bad, but he handled that shit correctly.

The prospective Iraqi invasion of Kuwait was diplomatically greenlit by Bush's administration, causing Saddam to go ahead, after which Bush double-crossed Saddam and went to war with Iraq over Kuwait.

Regarding the end of the war, even if you hold to leaving Saddam firmly in power as the right call, there's the little matter of falsely saying to the Kurds we would back a rebellion, and then abandoning them to be butchered.

Do you tell your co-workers and boss your honest opinion about how glad you are that Bush is dead, or other incendiary opinions?

Wrong. Saddam was fucking pissed that the US said it would "protect its friends".

He had been warned when the buildup of troops happened.

Except that was never stated. They were encouraged to overthrow their government, but at no point were promised aid, and at no point did the US speak of regime change. I'm not saying they didn't deserve help, or that this isn't one thing that I would morally embrace, but politically-speaking, it was the right thing to do to keep balance in the region.

I never said I was “glad he was dead” but I don’t see a need to suck his dick and engage in hagiography. I say stuff like this IRL but I’ll word it more delicately

IMO it's more effective to just point out something shitty they did if anybody starts waxing sentimental. It's a lot more interesting (and useful) to bait a dipshit into defending the murder of civilians or whatever than to be the one getting mad about a dead guy.

He's probably just saying that to avoid controversy the liberal media could use to turn people away from him. I doubt it's his sincere opinion.


Yes.
