Kerry defends Biden on Iraq War, says Bush administration 'broke their word'
John Kerry's defense of Joe Biden comes as Sen. Bernie Sanders has recently escalated his attacks on the former vice president over the Iraq War.
Former Secretary of State John Kerry defended former Vice President Biden over the Iraq War, saying that the George W. Bush administration “broke their word with respect to how they would proceed” in Iraq.
“The fact is that we were promised by a president, by an administration, that they were going to do it as a last resort after exhausting diplomacy, that if they have to go to war it would be with a coalition that they built broadly, and that they would do it only in conjunction with our allies,” Kerry said Friday. “It didn't have to happen; it was a war of choice.”
“It was a mistake to have trusted them, I guess, and we paid a high price for it,” Kerry added. “But that was not voting for the war.”
Senator Bernie Sanders has recently escalated his attacks on Biden over the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.
“Joe Biden voted and helped lead the effort for the war in Iraq, the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in the modern history of this country,” Sanders said in an interview with CNN earlier this month.
Kerry argued against Sanders’ characterization that Biden voted “for” a war against Iraq.
“I think he knows full well, as a lot of other people do, that there was a difference in people who felt they needed to give a president the leverage to be able to get Saddam Hussein back to the table, without having to go to war, and that that vote was unfortunately structured in a way that it was sort of either-or,” Kerry said. “But that didn't mean you were in favor when the administration made the decision of actually going to war.”
