I spent half of the debate trying to find the quote in Trump's book "The America We Deserve" that was published in 2000 where he spoke of the terror threat....

In 2000 Donald Trump wrote in HIS book, The America we Deserve

Consider Iraq. After each pounding from U.S . warplanes, Iraq has dusted itself off and gone right back to work developing a nuclear arsenal. Six years of tough talk and U.S. fireworks in Baghdad have done little to slow Iraq's crash program to become a nuclear power. They've got missiles capable of flying nine hundred kilometers-more than enough to reach Tel Aviv. They've got enriched uranium. All they need is the material for nuclear fission to complete the job, and, according to the Rumsfeld report, we don't even know for sure if they've laid their hands on that yet. That's what our last aerial assault on Iraq in 1999 was about. Saddam Hussein wouldn't let UN weapons inspectors examine certain sites where that material might be stored. The result when our bombing was over? We still don't know what Iraq is up to or whether it has the material to build nuclear weapons. I'm no warmonger. But the fact is, if we decide a strike against Iraq is necessary, it is madness not to carry the mission to its conclusion. When we don't, we have the worst of all worlds: Iraq remains a threat, and now has more incentive than ever to attack us.

Cincinatus’ Wife,

This is a thread where Trump supporters chose to meet to discuss our support of our candidate.

It is not necessarily an issues thread.

You have plenty of other threads to post your views on all of the candidates, including Trump, so please leave this thread alone and use those.
