Presidential candidate Donald Trump set off another political firestorm Friday after implying that President George W. Bush was to blame for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, drawing the ire of his Republican rivals.

Ted Cruz is THE candidate for 2016
Donald Rump a Blowhard for the ages
Trump? Take a hit? Actually accept blame???? If Trump had been reigning president in 2001 he wouldn't have taken a hit on anything. Any criticism of him over the attack would have resulted in a flame war directed back at whoever did the criticizing.
thank you— share that every time you rant on Trump so we know who you support. Would love Ted to win— why Rubio is ahead of him in the current polls is beyond me.
How dare you put his words into context!
I should have known not to trust the media at face value.
This is another of Trump’s “verbal kill shots” as one analyst put it. It reinforces already held negative views of Jeb Bush via W by stating an undeniable fact in response to a broad claim by Jeb. I think W did a terrific job in the WOT just like I think FDR did a good job after Dec. 7, 1941. Doesn’t change the reality of the attacks.

Thank you for disclosing your agenda. Ted Cruz is a good man. You, Meh.
I’m hoping he realizes the time frame he’ll be on. He should open a human resources company to get ready.
Which makes me think, since there will no longer be a Muslim at the White House, and transition is a time of confusion, I can see another outside the box attack within the first year of his term if he is not ready before he goes in especially with all the unvetted (sometimes impossible) legally welcomed jihadists and newly recruited jihadists on the homeland.
LOL, You’ve got a big point.
Here’s a Bush speech audio pushing home loans for unqualified minorities just a few years prior to the housing collapse.

Mikey like Nick Carraway has strong anti-Trump opinions.
They still FReeps wanting conservative good for the nation. We keep ‘em
How ya like that safety and national security?
How about when Bush celebrated Cinco De Mayo up in the White House while flooding the country with tens of millions of illegals during war time?
Or allowing in more Muslims AFTER 911 than the previous two decades prior to 911.
This is keeping America safe?
I will stay amused each and every time your head explodes from Trump.
Please keep it up, because I’ve come to expect this from you.
my “agenda”
well that agenda..includes the near impossible mission of inspiring the perceptually tone deaf to the deeper aspects of the rump campaign...yes..so I guess I have to admit to having an AGENDA
thanks for sharing what little your able to eek out....of these slightly more complex messages
On another note, I always enjoy your Photoshop work. You have true talent.
No. Both had been planned well before they took office.
Pearl Harbor was different. FDR knew the date, time and location of the attack. He left those stationed there sitting ducks. He let it happen to rev up the people so they would support the war. Until the attack, most people did not want to get involved in that war. This later was not denied by the media. Documentation supports this.
Bee Ess.
LOL, come on. This is Trump we are talking about. Trump wanted his buddy Nancy Pelosi to impeach Bush. Yes, he called for Bush’s impeachment.
Trump sounds like a truther spewing liberal talking points.
Bush was not in office long enough and due to the delays caused by the contentious 2000 election barely had his team in place. Bush is not responsible for 9-11 and for Trump to even mention something like this is right out of the leftist playbook.
What’s next? Is Trump going to make a play for Ron Paul’s conspiracy monger truther nutcases. He’s already come close with the birther nonsense. Say, by the way, where is all this amazing stuff Trump’s investigators were supposedly getting from Hawaii? Yeah.....nothing came of that but it didn’t stop Trump from yammering on about it.
Is it boneheaded to point out Americans are killed by Illegal Aliens on Obama's watch? If Bush had chosen to enforce immigration law, maybe those here on sham visas wouldn't have been.
Trump didn't imply Bush was to blame for 9/11, but there's plenty to consider.
