CornflakeS.Pecially posted:Has anyone come up with a proper word to describe a vote for the Iraq occupation? Bernie uses "mistake" a lot, but that seems way to neutral to me. "Blunder" is a little better perhaps, but it also sounds too much like "party foul." But real talk, strategic failure is important to the discourse. The thing about Republicans and Moderate Dems is that they paint their lovely viewpoints as pragmatism. It's how they sidestep the moral issues of unrestrained capitalism or war. Bernie is smart because he deconstructs that false sense of pragmatism. The moral discourse around Iraq is a crapshoot because you end up with people like Hilary who will defend their ignorance or people who believe that the Saddam being a huge piece of poo poo justified their actions. It's harder to argue that Iraq wasn't just really loving awful foreign policy. My Imaginary GF posted:Is Bernie Sanders calling WW2 a foreign policy blunder?
