Bernie Sanders out to knock the legs out from under Trump's victory on terror

By Monica Showalter

Since when do we pull funds from a government operation that's working?

That's the latest tack from Bernie Sanders and his far-left sidekick, Ro Khanna.  In the wake of President Trump's stunning victory over Qassem Soleimani, Iran's longtime terrorist kingpin and killer of Americans. Bernie & Co. actually want to end a government program this time, primarily because it's working.

According to Axios:

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called on Friday to introduce legislation that "blocks Pentagon funding for any unilateral actions" taken by President Trump "to wage war against Iran without congressional authorization."

The big picture: Trump claimed on Friday that the U.S. airstrike that killed top Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani was not intended to start a war. Both Democrats and Republicans — such as Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) — have criticized Trump for not obtaining congressional approval for the strike.

Instead of just whining about the beast's demise alongside the Hollywood elites, this pair, Sanders and Khanna, who serves as his campaign co-chairman, are now attempting to block funds from President Trump to keep him from hosing the terrorist hellhole out and getting the job done.  They don't want that.  They know it's "winning," and they abhor it.

Now, for normal people, especially in the private sector, you pull government funding for operations that fail.  You don't throw good money after bad.  For operations that are succeeding, you give them more.  In a sane world, this is how these things work. 

Not so for Bernie & Co.  Their logic employed is that failure is a good thing.  Being socialists, we already know they are big fans of extending money to failed government programs forever.  Just ask them about their devotion to social welfare rackets.

Now their flip logic is to cut off funds for anything that's solving a problem — anything that's doing what it's supposed to do.  Can't have that — it might lead to the end of a money spigot somewhere for some bureaucrats.  Failure is the option on the far left.

This brings us to Soleimani and Trump's bid to play Grant to all those McClellans who preceded him on the global terror front, wiping out the creep who introduced a particularly lethal form of IED on Americans in Iraq and masterminded some of the world's biggest terror attacks over decades, including the attacks on Jewish centers in Argentina in the 1990s.  According to secretary of state Mike Pompeo, speaking on Hannity last night, Soleimani was cooking up new attacks on Americans before his rub-out.  For the Bernites, that makes him the perfect guy to lend a hand to by tying President Trump's hands.

This is redolent of the Democrats' earlier actions, not just on attempting to cut off funds for Trump's border wall, which they did because they knew it would work, but even farther back into the sands of their record.  It's similar to the Democrats' doings, led in part by the likes of then-KGB dupe Sen. Ted Kennedy, who sought to pull funds from President Reagan for challenging the Cuban/Sandinista takeover of Nicaragua in the 1980s, a matter that led to the so-called Iran Contra scandal, which ironically involved secret dealings with the mullahs to check the Soviets and their pawns.  It's logical to think Sanders, who honeymooned in the Soviet Union around this time, would be the mastermind behind this latest stunt because the tactic is one he'd know and remember well.  It may well be that the idea now is to gum up Trump the way the Democrats fettered President Reagan now that impeachment is crashing and burning on them.

Trump is winning, so now the far left (Khanna has sometimes been identified as another part of the Squad) and their leader Bernie have gotten busy, out to pull funds on Trump's actions.  They're apparently rooting for the terrorists not just because they can't stand Trump, but because they can't stand victories.  More specifically, they don't like Trump winning, so they're serving as backup men to Iran's longtime terror operation by working to block Trump's funding.  Yo!  Mullahs.  Gotcha covered.

The only word for it is "despicable."  In light of Soleimani's record and American war sacrifices, Democrats would be wise to not touch this.
