Bernie Sanders: 'I think we know who ISIS is'.... ?Really Bernie?

Oh my goodness. Has Bernie read the news paper lately? I'm concerned about his viewpoints on IsIs. There are members here on ATS that have forgotten more about IsIs than Sanders will ever have. (IMO)

The shock value comes in with his statements about Obama, and that he praises Obama, stating ,

Sanders credited President Barack Obama for his handling of the fight against ISIS, saying that the terrorist organization is "on the defensive. They are retreating."

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders says the United States needs to toughen its surveillance to stop Brussels-style ISIS attacks, adding that "we know who ISIS is."

"It goes without saying that when you have attacks that take place, when 30 people get killed in Brussels, something went wrong ... We have got to improve our efforts to make sure it does not happen again," he told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" Sunday when pressed for specifics.

Oh is that right now?

So, by 'fighting them' does he mean that the USA is stopping the supply of arms to them maybe

He said "We know" not "I think we know".

ISIS is retreating. The infrastructure that was to be it's Caliphate encompassing 2 countries has been bombed to death.

At the same time, stepped up surveillance is a good idea.

I am not sure what the point is of these threads that are based on a couple words.

How is he wrong? ISIS continues to be pushed out of terrority they controlled. For instance, Syrian Troops Said to Recapture Historic Palmyra From ISIS.

And he's right again because the terrorists who attacked Brussels were known to the authorities. It seems to be a recurring theme in our western society to ignore the warning of impending terrorist attacks.

I think Bernie is just controlled opposition for Hillary and very much a Establishment candidate. To me it is very clear with his stance on guns, climate change, the economy, now this. He is the PC champion and i doubt him winning the election would do very much good for Americans. I did not think it was possible, but he might be worst than Hillary.

I'm sure he knows who ISIS he credited him for fighting( im talking about Obama is that is not clear)

a reply to: CosmicSmack

What do you mean by Establishment? Is it because he's been in DC for decades? If so, he's an Independent running as a Democrat, and by his voting record he certainly doesn't pander to the Establishment.

But, are you saying he's Establishment as in connected to the wealthy elites? If so, how you came to that conclusion is beyond me.

That's what they said about Al Qaeda until they changed their names to ISIS, and the current baffoon in chief called them the JV team.

The only thing we have done is play whack a mole, and the East, and West, and the middle east ALL have had their turn at it.

Only for terrorism to get bigger, and badder than ever, and instead of it being confined to the middle east.

Has waged across the world from Australia, UK, and the latest example Brussels.

Funny how Sanders is basically pushing the Patriot Act all over.

Surveillance don't mean squat unless the guy who is the COMMANDER IN CHIEF that has been nothing, but an empty chair for the last eight years. Tells them to KILL them instead of making niceties, and tell them how we all want to be 'friends'.

In Syria and Iraq, the Islamic State is in retreat on multiple fronts

Front-line commanders no longer speak of a scarily formidable foe but of Islamic State defenses that crumble within days and fighters who flee at the first sign they are under attack.

They've become desperate. They're losing ground all over the middle east and have become just another terrorist organization that's getting crushed left and right.

ISIS is responsible for bombings in Pakistan, Iraq, Brussels, just in the past few days.

Hundreds of lives lost.

Thousands injured, damaged.

Yet Obama and Bernie say we have ISIS on the run?

This is a special kind of stupid.

a reply to: Swills

ISIS as a credible military terrorist organization will be destroyed but the threat of radical Islam will be around for generations upon generations.

very pessimistic but I don't see people changing and the situations is only getting worse as time goes on.

What do you expect from a guy who has never really had a real job his whole life other than accepting paychecks provided by the tax payers?

He is chirping the same nonsense our current POTUS has been spewing yet the enemy of the Western World is getting more brazen and bold!


Funny how I see people say Bernie is "Anti Establishment"?

Bernie is the true Pimp of Government Welfare!

Every thing that comes out of his mouth is to further globalism.

He's a democrat, since 2015.

I don't know why anyone denies this. It's fact.

When Arlen Specter left the GOP to be a democrat, no one said "He's a republican serving as a democrat."

Geez. I'm an independent. Bernie is a democrat. Facts, not spin.

He's a democrat, since 2015.

And the only 'war' the democrats ever won has been the 'war' on the rich.

Only one percent remains,

Yep. Started out as a bunch of punk thugs in gorilla warfare. It could have been stopped then. About the time the Iraqi's ran away recoiling in fear despite the billions we poured into their 'military'.

Now it's grown to an organized freak show, and the woods are full of them. The only thing that's going to get rid of them is massive self-realization of what they are. Brainwashed Killer freaks. When they finally realize that, maybe they will all commit suicide from shame.

The fact is 'The Establishment' (defined as the elite, the wealthy, corporations, insurance companies, 'big pharma,' the globally powerful, etc..) can profit the most from Bernie's $18 trillion spending plan.

The federal government can gain the most power and grow the largest under his huge tax hike.

The Clintons, Bushes, Trump, ALL the upper echelon can profit from a Bernie presidency if Congress is corrupt enough with their spending (And you better believe they will be).

It makes sense to me that 'The Establishment' must absolutely love Bernie Sanders -- including the Clintons, Bushes, Trump, and ALL the rest of them.

Never mind how the media, parties, and his campaign market him as anti-Establishment -- logic DICTATES that the Establishment would be pulling for Bernie.

He's still in this race for a reason. And Hillary's email scandal isn't just an unfortunate coincidence for her -- it's fortunate for Bernie.

And I expect Trump has some tricks up his sleeve going into the general election to help Bernie across the finish line, too. If he parts from the GOP at the convention, he could split the vote enough to give Congress a mandate to start spending, like crazy, under BERNIE.

Congress is frothing at the mouth to start stealing, err....spending like crazy.

Globalism? So socialism equals globalism? You know, the conspiracy about the NWO, you know Globalism, all stems from the elites, the wealthy businessmen, corporations, gov'ts, and families that Bernie is dead set against. That's why they don't like him. If there's any candidate that is anti Globalism its Sanders.

Who do you support? A fellow elite with a big mouth?

a reply to: Swills

He is wrong because he is crediting Obama with putting Daesh on the run.
SAA retook Palmyra with no help from Obama or our military.
The one responsible for Daesh running is clearly Assad.
Check out this State Department Rep being asked at about 1 min, if the Assad "Regime" is preferable to Daesh.

Some might say the Obama Administration prefers Daesh.

a reply to: MotherMayEye

Omg, you mean he became a Democrat to run for President? You don't say?

He recognizes the democratic party is a complete shame and he would like to revitalize it so it concentrates on the people, not wealthy donors.

But how long has he been an Independent? All those years don't count because he became a dem is 2015 so he could have a shot at the oval office?

That all said, if Sanders doesn't win big in the upcoming primaries and Trump is somehow denied his nomination wouldn't it just be hilarious to see Trump and Sanders continue on as Independents? Oh the drama that would ensue! The race has been ridiculous already thanks to Trump so they both may as well go all out and make that happen!
