It's easy to communicate "opposition" in clear terms: 1) https://twitter.com/TulsiPress/status/850198159372427266 … 2) https://twitter.com/SenBrianSchatz/status/850196630666002439 … Sanders has not done so. Sorry.

I don't see anything wrong with being measured and nuanced. This is not a simple situation with Bad vs. Good. Why try and make it that?

He's speaking in general terms there about "quagmires." He does NOT specifically condemn the Syria strike in the statement.

...that's clearly not his "only objection," and a unilateral strike is clearly not what he considers a solution

Check out his funding. He gets huge amounts from defense. Never would have guessed.
