    Jeet Heer Retweeted Jonathan Chait

    1. If Bernie did oppose the Spanish-American War he'd have been right to do so 2. As a joke about Iraq war it falls flat because Bernie was right about that & Chait was wrong. Also the human costs of Iraq War continue to this day.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1197352312647405571 …

        I thought that line was meant to be a joke about how Bernie also mentioned voting against the first Gulf War, which — whatever it says about his anti-war credentials — was also a reminder that he’s been in Congress for a long time.

        That was also a bad war. Bad wars are worth opposing.

        As an aside, the human cost of the Spanish-American War continued for about 10 years while the US continued the Spanish fight against the insurgency in the Philippines.
