In the face of Secretary Clinton's undisputed strength in these areas, when Bernie Sanders is asked how his experience measures up to hers in the "Commander In Chief" category, he invariably comes up with a single Talking Point.

Unfortunately that Talking Point, presented in Bernie's shallow vernacular, simply isn't true. It usually goes something like this:

The key foreign policy vote in modern American history was the 2002 vote as to whether we should go into Iraq. I made the decision not to go to war. Hillary Clinton on the other hand, voted for the war...

Like many simplistic and "sound bite" arguments of the modern era, and of Sanders in particular, the argument that Hillary Clinton supported the war George W. Bush prosecuted in Iraq is nonsense. This falsehood can be broken down into five sub-myths.

Myth #1: The 2002 Congressional Resolution authorizing the use of military force against Iraq, on which Hillary Clinton and a large majority of U.S. Senators voted yes, gave George W. Bush "carte blanche" to pursue war against Saddam Hussein.

False! In fact exactly the opposite is true: While that Resolution did indeed authorize President Bush, under strict requirements of the 1973 War Powers Act, to use force, Section 3(b) of the Act also required that sanctions or diplomacy be fully employed before force was used, i.e. force was to be used only as "necessary and appropriate in order to defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq," and to do so only upon the President certifying to Congress that "diplomatic or other peaceful means" would be insufficient to defang Saddam.

Despite those legal conditions, the following year we were at war--and millions of us were astonished that the Bush Administration, running roughshod over Congress's requirements, hadn't given more time for U.N. inspectors to complete their job of searching for weapons of mass destruction.

Myth #2:

...

5 Myths (And One Big Truth) About Hillary's 2002 Iraq War Vote

FACT # 1: Hillary, Bill Clinton, John Kerry, and a host of other Democrat leaders are on record calling Saddam a threat to the US leading up to Bush.

FACT # 2: Congress held not 1 BUT 2 Votes authorizing force to remove Saddam Hussein by force.

FACT # 3: Bush gave Saddam ample notice, time towards Saddam leaving via diplomatic and peaceful means. Saddam refused.

FACT # 4: Bush laid out his case before the UN even though he nor any other President would not be required to.

KEY OBSERVATION: Up to and leading to Bush's Election, Democrats and Bush haters perpetuated the notion that he stole the Election. If Bush stole the Election, why would Democrats believe his so called "lies" about going to War in Iraq?
