BURLINGTON, Vt., June 19 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today released the following statement:
In 2002, in testimony to Congress urging the United States to go to war in Iraq, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated: “There is no question whatsoever that Saddam is seeking… nuclear weapons…. If you take out Saddam’s regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations.”
Netanyahu was wrong. Very wrong. The war in Iraq resulted in 4,492 U.S. military deaths, over 32,000 wounded, and a cost of roughly three trillion dollars. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis also died as a result of that tragic war. Netanyahu was wrong regarding the war in Iraq. He is wrong now. We must not get involved in Netanyahu’s war against Iran.

That's correct (and it's certainly worth mentioning that they - unlike Israel and Germany - actually committed troops to the effort), but it is important to point out that Netanyahu was on the cheerleading squad, as were many of the voices currently pushing for regime change in Iran. The American right has the memory of a goldfish.
