‘You are disqualified,’ US veterans slam Biden over Iraq war, video shows
Two US war veterans confront former Vice President Joe Biden over his support for the US invasion of Iraq, a video shows.
“You are disqualified,” one of the veterans told Biden during his campaign stopover in Oakland, California, on Super Tuesday.
“We’re just wondering why we should vote for someone who voted for a war and enabled a war that killed thousands of our brothers and sisters and countless Iraqi civilians,” he said. “Their blood is on your hands as well.”
The former vice president has made a comeback to the Democratic primary races by leading polls after the Super Tuesday vote.
‘Biden handed Trump Super Tuesday victory’
Biden’s surge in polls led to suspension of campaigns by Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar, two rather centrist figures who subsequently endorsed him.
The real winner of the Super Tuesday, which appears to be sidelining Senator Bernie Sanders’ campaign, was, however, no one but President Donald Trump, suggests political analyst Myles Hoenig.
“Trump won Super Tuesday. In a surprising election outcome Joe Biden had handed Donald Trump and the American people four more years of the kind of insanity coming from the White House that so many had hoped to put an end to,” he told Press TV on Wednesday. “Democrats had voted to replace a psychologically disturbed president with one who is feeble minded, incoherent and with a history of neo-liberal policies ranging from racism by supporting increase incarceration of people of color to anti-unionism with support of the Trans Pacific Partnership, and everything in between.”
Hoenig further indicated that Biden’s victory amounted to “a drawback to some of the most regressive times in American history.”
"Generations of voters who supported Sanders are likely not to vote or will come out in small numbers,” he said. "If Senator Sanders had swept Super Tuesday, there still was a likelihood of a brokered convention.”
Despite Biden’s victory, the number of pledged delegates will remain “somewhat evenly split” between him and Sanders, the political analyst noted, predicting a “divisive period” in the future of the races.
“There are many more states to go and more delegates to be distributed, but Tuesday’s election set the stage for a very divisive period.”
