One would think they had learned their\u00a0lesson from relying on that ploy with Obama in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>But the sad truth is that Sanders record is essentially<br \/>\nthe same as Obama, Clinton and the neocon-inspired<br \/>\nRepublicans who cling to visions of Pax Americana even<br \/>\nafter 15+ years of failed interventions.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney&#8217;s Long War is ascendant and about to get worse.<br \/>\nLittle seems available to stop it other than Putin&#8217;s willingness<br \/>\nto intervene on behalf of Assad. Despite the seeming<br \/>\nprogress by Kerry and Lavrov in establishing a ceasefire<br \/>\nthe information below and from other sources<br \/>\nindicate that the real agenda remains fixed and that the<br \/>\ntruce is merely a stalling tactic.<\/p>\n<p>I urge all those concerned about this crisis to call Senator<br \/>\nSanders and request he speak out against further escalation<br \/>\nof the conflict and that he strongly oppose\u00a0placing US boots<br \/>\non the ground in another example of\u00a0mission creep.<\/p>\n<p>His unwillingness to do so undermines any sense of<br \/>\nlegitimacy his campaign otherwise might have in claiming<br \/>\nthe high road of resistance to Washington&#8217;s complicity in<br \/>\nthese war crimes as detailed below.<\/p>\n<p>References:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">1.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/themillenniumreport.com\/2016\/02\/under-cover-of-truce-with-russia-us-prepares-military-escalation-in-syria\/\"><span class=\"s2\">http:\/\/themillenniumreport.com\/2016\/02\/under-cover-of-truce-with-russia-us-prepares-military-escalation-in-syria\/<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">2. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.informationclearinghouse.info\/article44302.htm\"><span class=\"s2\">http:\/\/www.informationclearinghouse.info\/article44302.htm<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">3.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/sticking-point-in-syria-truce-washingtons-support-for-al-qaeda\/5510361\"><span class=\"s2\">http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/sticking-point-in-syria-truce-washingtons-support-for-al-qaeda\/5510361<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">4.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/the-syrian-endgame-how-a-war-is-lost-is-dangerous-us-nato-saudi-arabia-turkey-losers-on-the-rampage\/5507682\"><span class=\"s2\">http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/the-syrian-endgame-how-a-war-is-lost-is-dangerous-us-nato-saudi-arabia-turkey-losers-on-the-rampage\/5507682<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">5.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/going-to-war-against-iraq-for-oil-and-for-israel-the-lies-fabrications-and-forgeries-of-the-bush-cheney-administration\/5509396\"><span class=\"s2\">http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/going-to-war-against-iraq-for-oil-and-for-israel-the-lies-fabrications-and-forgeries-of-the-bush-cheney-administration\/5509396<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">6.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.informationclearinghouse.info\/article44303.htm\"><span class=\"s2\">http:\/\/www.informationclearinghouse.info\/article44303.htm<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">7.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.veteranstoday.com\/2016\/02\/24\/top-secretsc-raw-intel-report-on-turkey-syria-and-iraq\/\"><span class=\"s2\">http:\/\/www.veteranstoday.com\/2016\/02\/24\/top-secretsc-raw-intel-report-on-turkey-syria-and-iraq\/<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32333"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32333\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
