I agree with you on all points you made but you left out his unconditional support of Israel while they were mowing the fucking lawn that killed close to 2,500 people in Gaza.
He is on record stating that SA should be the ones that bomb the people in Syria instead of the US. Those bombs come from the US and dropped from jets we sold them. (thanks Hillary)
I don't know if Bernie can stop the MIC, PNAC and everyone else who is supporting these wars. Especially the CIA. Remember what happened to the last president that wanted to break the CIA up in to a thousand pieces.
I read this great article last night and wanted to post it on KOS but I am sure that it would get lost in the comments.

Former Economic Hit Man Returns to Take on the "Death Economy"

I'm haunted every day by what I did as an economic hit man (EHM). I'm haunted by the lies I told back then about the World Bank. I'm haunted by the ways in which that bank, its sister organizations, and I empowered US corporations to spread their cancerous tentacles across the planet. I'm haunted by the payoffs to the leaders of poor countries, the blackmail, and the threats that if they resisted, if they refused to accept loans that would enslave their countries in debt, the CIA's jackals would overthrow or assassinate them.

The treacherous cancer beneath the surface, which was revealed in the original Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, has metastasized. It has spread from the economically developing countries to the United States and the rest of the world; it attacks the very foundations of democracy and the planet's life-support systems.

Fear and debt drive this system. We are hammered with messages that terrify us into believing that we must pay any price, assume any debt, to stop the enemies who, we are told, lurk at our doorsteps. The problem comes from somewhere else. Insurgents. Terrorists. "Them." And its solution requires spending massive amounts of money on goods and services produced by what I call the corporatocracy -- vast networks of corporations, banks, colluding governments, and the rich and powerful people tied to them. We go deeply into debt; our country and its financial henchmen at the World Bank and its sister institutions coerce other countries to go deeply into debt; debt enslaves us and it enslaves those countries.
