I am sick of Donald Trump. Utterly sick of him. I'm sick of his bullying, I'm sick of his whining, I'm sick of his profanity and I'm sick of his constant repetition.
Now I'm sick of his lying too.
Last night he blamed 9-11 on George W. Bush and he came right out and said that Bush lied the US into the war in Iraq. I think this time he has burned one too many bridges.
Asked to defend his 2008 comment that George W. Bush should have been impeached, Donald Trump said: "They lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none, and they knew there were none. There were no weapons of mass destruction."Watch this exchange. Bush does not interrupt Trump but Trump can't shut up.Interviewers should press Trump on this: What evidence does Trump have that George W. Bush and his top advisers knowingly lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? How many other government officials does Trump believe were in on the deception? What does Trump believe would have been the point of such a lie, since the truth would soon come out?
BTW, Donald, the official tome on Iraq, the Silbermann-Robb report, says Bush did not lie.
"Even people at the highest level of the Iraqi regime believed Saddam had weapons of mass destruction," Silberman explains. "Saddam was running a bluff. He was bluffing his own people, and he was bluffing Iran. It would have been impossible for any intelligence agency in the world … to have determined that Saddam had destroyed his weapons of mass destruction."Silberman recently addressed the constant lying from the left (and from Trump):Even if the intelligence agencies had performed flawlessly, they would therefore have found themselves advising the president of grave dangers. "A first-class [intelligence] opinion would have said, 'We [the intelligence agencies] know Saddam once had weapons of mass destruction, we know that he proved capable of using them, and we have no evidence that he has destroyed them. Although we cannot prove that Saddam still has weapons of mass destruction, we think it highly likely that he has.'"
"It is astonishing to see the 'Bush lied' allegation evolve from antiwar slogan to journalistic fact."He added "as I recall, no one in Washington political circles offered significant disagreement with the intelligence community before the invasion. The National Intelligence Estimate was persuasive - to the president, to Congress and to the media."
Though it's politically convenient to constantly repeat the lie that Bush lied, no one from the left really ever bothers to explain why Bush would lie, as Kristol asked above. Trump sure as hell doesn't offer an explanation.
Never mind the fact that WMD's were found all over Iraq. I suspect there were far more found than we are left to know. It would be kept quiet so as not to tip off Al Qaeda and ISIS to its existence.
Never mind that a large part of the reason for the Iraq war was the same as the excuses for the war on Libya:
The Bush administration made the argument that in the post-9/11 climate there should be a belated reckoning with Saddam Hussein. He had continued to sponsor terrorism, had over the years invaded or attacked four of his neighbors, and had killed tens of thousands of his own people. He was surely more a threat to the region and to his own people than either Bashar Assad or Moammar Qaddafi was eight years later.Trump compensates for his lies with increased volume. When Jeb Bush chipped Trump for his reality show history, Trump went  nuts:
While Donald Trump was building a reality TV show, my brother was building a security apparatus to keep us safe. And I'm proud of what he did."As if that wasn't enough, Trump kept stabbing:"The World Trade Center came down during your brother's reign," Trump reminded Bush.
"The World Trade Center came down during the reign of George Bush," Trump said to a strong reaction from the audience. "That's not keeping us safe."Again- blaming George Bush for 9-11. It's something I found and do find detestable for a self-proclaimed conservative. This is the mindless throw-away line of a liberal. It was following 9-11 that Bush built the security structure which kept the US safe since and which Obama has enjoyed and in some ways expanded upon. Trump has frequently accused Bush of knowing that 9-11 was coming and ignored the warnings. About that, Politifact says:

It appears that, even though he is still just a candidate and not the President, Donald Trump’s foreign policy, the Trump Doctrine, is being implemented on the world stage! Consider.
Trump formally announced his candidacy for the presidency in the 2016 election on June 16, 2015.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump
He sat down with Bill O’Reilly in June 16, 2015 and said:
“I say that you can defeat ISIS by taking their wealth,” Trump told the Fox News Channel star. “Take back the oil. Once you go over and take back that oil, they have nothing. You bomb the hell out of them, and then you encircle it, and then you go in. And you let Mobil go in, and you let our great oil companies go in. Once you take that oil, they have nothing left.”
The Russian military intervention in the Syrian Civil War began on 30 September 2015, following a formal request by the Syrian government for military help against rebel and jihadist groups.

Around December 17, 2015, Putin offered high praise for the billionaire businessman-turned-Republican presidential front-runner on Thursday during an annual news conference with reporters.
“He is a bright and talented person without any doubt,” Putin said, adding that Trump is “an outstanding and talented personality.”
And in remarks closely mirroring Trump’s assessment of the campaign, the Russian leader called Trump “the absolute leader of the presidential race,” according to the Russian TASS news agency.

I used to think I would vote for him if he was the nominee to piss off the GOPe. But I’m not sure I can take 4 years of this blowhard.
Looks like Cruz is our only choice to get even with the GOPe.
Code Pink praises Donald Trump after debate
http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/269472-code-pink-praises-donald-trump
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is being praised by Code Pink, a group that has protested the Iraq War.
Trump garnered support from Code Pink dduring the GOP debate Saturday night when he called the Iraq War a mistake and accused the George W. Bush administration of lying before the invasion.
………………………………………………………………………………………….
Code Pink also wants Israel wiped out.
Code Pink played a part in setting up the Obama/muslim brotherhood attempt to take over Egypt.
Code Pink is a big HAMAS supporter and was part of the ‘flotilla” that tried to undermine Israel.
I guess 0bama isn’t the only thinned skin megalomaniac narcissist pussy. Donald “Moore” Chump has finally showed his true colors to the Trumpbots out there.
‘Jeb and the Bush Crime Family’ page 331-332
‘Mission accomplished, at least for George W. Bush. The man who plotted to kill his father, and committed untold other crimes, is dead. But 12 year later, more than 4,000 American
Troops have died in Iraq-and $1.7 trillion dollars have already been spent, a number that increases every day. The weapons of mass destruction George W. claimed were there, and used to justify that human and financial cost, were never found.
The people of Iraq? The horror of Saddam has been replaced by the horror of civil war, ISIS, and an entirely uncertain future.
‘But George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld got their man...’
Just to be clear, Trump thrives because nice doesn’t work.
I’m sick of liars like this spewing their venom. The tag liar belongs to another candidate. This POS can go pound sand.
Trump and the e-republicans. A plague on both their houses!
Awww...boo boo Kitty!
Trump suffers from Rhetorical Incontinence. He lacks blather control.
“... showed his true colors to the Trumpbots...”
Raider, I think they’re color blind. :-)
All stuff making fun of the author; not one substantive rebuttal of the fact that Trump did blame Bush, like the wackos like Samuel Jackson and Farrakhan did...
