You are C-in-C. That means the buck stops with you. Unfair of a thing it is considering the circumstance, your only redemption is the response....Which we can see has mad mixed results at best.

Well, he immediately invaded Afghanistan and Pakistan where he knew Osama had to be.

Oh, wait. Nevermind.

My first thought about this was that Trump was out of line - and he may have been.

Second thought is that Trump probably knows a lot more “inside baseball” than us regular slobs, and I don’t think he’d toss that line out there out of nowhere.

His information is probably a little different than what’s been put out there.

When it comes to men, power, money and politics I am not an absolutist.

I agree. Though didn’t some of those on CNN now criticizing Trump make those same accusations previously?

Re #34:

Actually I agree with you 100%. My problem isn’t really with what Trump said. My problem is with those who want to support and justify ANY statement Trump makes. I could very well vote for Trump in the General Election. But there are a lot of fanboys of Trumps on FR who are going to be stunned when he’s not nearly as conservative as they like to think he is.

I seem to remember that,before 9-11, there was a huge plot to hijack airliners coming to the US from Asia. It was broken up. Perhaps they thought they’d gotten it taken care of?

George W had the perfect opportunity to immediately close the Mexican border. He did not.

Re the other candidates ire...if Trump even sneezes the other candidates are going to attack him. Who is even listening to the other candidates?

Yo Mike yes Trump is a mixed bag of flaws but still with plenty of upside. The math is showing he is winning so far. Would you rather have a partially flawed Trump in the WH or a full bore commie leftist in that position? Would love to resurrect Reagan by miracle but hey.....

Maybe we will find out how two planes hitting two towers brought down seven buildings. We will find out why the seismic signature did not reflect the collapse of that much steel and concrete. energy that was not in the dust ended as if beamed into several parking lots full of cars.

Now, the typical Truther focuses on "Inside Job" and Government involvement. Dr. Judy Wood's take is that someone has 'directed free-energy technology' that was used to dustify the buildings.

Given the Scripture about YHWH's Word as a double ended sword, and how He holds everything together with his will, I would say that YHWH gave America a Judgement on 9/11, but in His mercy He reduced the impact of the destruction.

Trump needs to clarify. He needs to stress that after promising "help is on the way", Bush failed to immediately purge the FBI, CIA, and armed forces of klintonoids. He was duped by his own people, including Grover Bin Norquist. Also, post 9/11, he failed to rid the Department of Illegal Immigration of enemy agents and incompetents, (9/11 hijackers were STILL getting mail sent to them!) and he failed to CLOSE THE F---KING BORDER from illegal AND legal immigration. He invited an imam who chanted "death to America!" to speak at the 9/14/01 service.

Because of this, by the time we were ready to "fight", the Rules of Enslav--, I mean, Engagement, forced our soldiers to put the lives and welfare of enemy citizens, combatants,and BUILDINGS above their own. Guantanamo pieces of crap got 5 star meals and were allowed to throw shit and piss at our people, while our soldiers had to clean themselves off with GARDEN HOSES. Our men died needlessly because of the incompetence and inbred leftist evil metastasizing in all areas of the federal government.

BILL KLINTON is more to blame for 9/11. He, to cover up his illegal fundraisers on watch lists, created the Able Danger machine that prevented us from preventing 9/11. He enabled technological sale of previously forbidden high tech communications equipment that the hijackers used to communicate. His brothers in solidarity in the ACLU sued Logan Airport for profiling, which made it the PERFECT place to launch the plan in the first place...

I don't know what happened, but it surely ain't like the story we've been told.

where’s the evidence theres any upside there at all?

his stances on illegals, ObamaCare, military, economy, Washington, DC corruptions, etc.... Trump has built a fortune through hard work and determination and love for the veterans.. Plus he's not a GOPee puke.. Plenty of upside to go along with the brash mouth and shoot from the hip wildness at times. Perfect he ain't---- Reagan-- he aint either. Would love Cruz but he's not getting any traction. Trump gets Dem crossover votes. You dont see any upside in all that?

"George Bush was asleep at the wheel. The blood of the World Trade is on his hands. Trump is right." Yes, he is right. A number of the 3-letter agencies KNEW of the presence of the terrorists IN THE COUNTRY and that some were here for FLIGHT TRAINING!! You reap what you sow.
