Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, after trying for 10 years, is on the cusp of getting Congress to repeal the authorizations that led the US into war against Iraq in the early ’90s and again in the early ‘00s.
Along with a Republican, Sen. Todd Young of Indiana, Kaine has support from the White House and a bipartisan coalition. He and Young told CNN’s Jake Tapper about their proposal on “The Lead” on Thursday.
Ten years. Ten years and they can't end the authorization. Let alone bring US troops back home.
I didn't watch the Super Bowl. Apparently, they again tried to use Pat Tillman.
Reminder: Pat Tillman thought the Iraq War was illegal, was going to meet with Noam Chomsky when he returned from Afghanistan. Read what his brother Kevin, who served with Pat, wrote about his brother. https://t.co/RaifRCHzOV #SuperBowl #pattillman

Just a reminder that Pat Tillman, the man in the ad the NFL just opened the Super Bowl up with, was shot in the head by his own men in an intentional friendly fire incident after he became openly critical of U.S. war efforts (particularly in Iraq). pic.twitter.com/Heunzm9Y0h

Another year of hijacking the Pat Tillman story and not telling that he hated the Iraq war and was killed by the military.

Pat Tillman said the Iraq War was "f**king illegal" and planned to meet Chomsky and publicly come out against the war shortly before being shot in the head three times at close-range by "friendly fire", which the military covered up. Don't let them whitewash what they did to him
