Yeah, I did cringe at Trump’s Jesse Ventura imitation there. But I also measured that with the fact that Trump was landing a blow against JEB.

Having served in the military during the whole Saddam Hussein days, Hussein very well did have Weapons of Mass Destruction! Like a GEICO commercial, “Everybody Knows That.” At that time (1980s). And no, the USA did not sell a single weapons system to the Iraqis. The Iraqis MAIN weapons and even WOMD salesmen where the Soviets, Germans and French.

Anyway, I’d remind Donald: Who gassed the Kurds? The evidence was overwhelming! Now after the Israelis bombed Osirak* Hussein may very well have NOT had a nuclear program, but he had chemicals and germs at his disposal, and chose to use the chemicals against both the Kurds an Iranians, there is no dispute in history about that.

*The Israeli Air Force mission against Hussein’s nuclear facility (sold to them by France, by the way) was named “Operation Babylon”. Should have been “Operation ALAS Babylon!”

Agree AB. I supported taking down Saddam after the first Gulf War. He had invaded Kuwait and used WMD against the Kurds and the Iranians. He set fire to the oil fields of Kuwait demonstrating how unhinged he was. He was funding terrorists and giving some of them like Abu Nidal sanctuary. And Saddam violated the truce agreement forcing us to maintain no-fly zones over Iraq at great cost and risk.

That said, I still support Trump. Bush did a poor job of defending his actions allowing the Dems to seize the narrative. And he should have been more outspoken when Obama boogied out of Iraq under the false pretext that a SOFA couldn't be reached. The fact that Bush now comes out of the witness protection program to campaign for his brother lowers his image in my mind.

I thought Donald made a huge mistake last night in his attack against Jeb Bush by attacking his family and brother.

Donald took exactly the tack that the democrats take.

They can use this.

Whatever people think about that war in retrospect, most of us were for it at the time. I have a lot of respect for George W. Bush and what a poor idea to attack him to try to get at Jeb.

Why did Trump bother to attack Jeb? He’s leading, Jeb doesn’t really have a chance.

Trump just has to get back at people no matter what he has to do.

He may not have hurt himself last night but he gave it the old college try. What a disaster.
