Exchange as follows:
STEPHANIE RUHLE, host: In order to be the president of the United States, you have to be a leader. We have not seen your soft hand. We have seen your offense, but George Bush had to stand in front of America after 9/11, Barack Obama did after Sandy Hook. Help us understand who Donald Trump is as a man. I need to know that you will make us feel a safe and you will make us feel proud.
TRUMP: I think I have a bigger heart than all of them. I think I’m much more competent than all of them. When you talk about George Bush—I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time.
RUHLE: Hold on. You can’t blame George Bush for that.
TRUMP: He was president, OK. Blame him or don’t blame him, but he was president. The World Trade Center came down during his reign.”

WTC #1 and #2 may have come down the first year of Bush's Presidency, however all the terrorists trained at flight schools in this country during the CLINTON ADMINISTRATION.
FURTHER, the Clinton Administration IGNORED all warnings from the different intelligence agencies that muslim males were in this country, PAYING CASH to learn how to fly commercial jet airliners and DISAPPEARING from those classes before learning how to LAND those planes.
The Clinton Administration also FAILED to follow-up on the USS Cole terrorist attack despite different intelligence agencies pointing to Osama Bin Laden as the mastermind and al-Qaeda doing the deed.
So who's really at fault here, Mr. Trump?
I did not say that no KSA’s were involved I stated that there were no flights out during the grounding period.
yes there were saudis involved.
yes our border needs to be made a real border
You seem unable or unwilling to understand that simple statement and then go on to ramble on several unrelated and trutherish issues I will again say.. its SAD to see truther/ drivel on Free Republic.
Please next time just add bilderburger and Ilumaniti when you scream (that is the way I hear your post at least) at me so as to be complete.
See my previous post above. The seeds of 911 were indeed planted, and allowed to grow to maturity under the Clinton Administration. Every word of my post (above) is factually true.
Hoe odd that Trump doesn’t criticize Bill Clinton. Or not.
<< I am no fan of GWB, but with 911 only a few months later, that is hardly time to get sufficient control over an emasculated military and set up adequate intelligence and defense capabilities to have earned accountability for failing to halt the attack. >>
I am a HUUUEH and series Trump fan and I supported W. in 2000. And I agree with you. To recall the early politics going on after the Clintons’, need we say more, and all that clean up is a point well taken.
Trump intends to spend time and resources building up our decimated military and our foreign policy.
Prevention is impossible to guarantee when you are building from practically nothing to a world class force. Until you have capabilities anything can happen. That is exactly what is worrying us.
The damn border invasion, and ISIS infiltration are two things that Trump has the passion to blow up, beyond all the other candidates, with their stinking connections, caveats, squishy records and slick excuses to avoid the unavoidable, to face it and do what has to be done.
Hey Longbow, here's Dallas Texas 2006, during *war* time under Republican POTUS Bush.
500,000 illegals and their supporters marching on Dallas Texas pushing foreign flags in our faces while making demands.
All totally embolden by Bush's aiding, abetting and pandering to Mexico while Bush was celebrating Cinco De Mayo up in the White House.
Looking sharp Longbow!
A valid and shared concern.
Yes, I have gathered that. I don't support Trump because he is a lifelong liberal so that means, according to those willing to overlook his liberalism, that I support another liberal like Bush. It is strange thinking to be sure, but so is supporting a liberal for the GOP nomination, and that seems to be rampant around here.
Astonishing pic.
What were their demands-—and did they get anything that they wanted?
.
I’ve always been suspect of people like you who post obscure links/websites instead of responding in their own words with known links to support their positions.
Are you suggesting a group of Muslims with connections to Bin Laden did not bail out of the U.S. after 911?
Yes, they got everything they wanted and now they’ve even compromised and undermined our very electoral process.
How was it a political setup? Trump said what he said. Nobody forced him, or put the words in his mouth.
Jeb then responded to Trump.
Or did you mean that Trump’s comment was intended to set up Jeb?
Like it or not Trump is correct....
Btw peg, why isn’t George Bush running around the campaign trail talking it up for Jed?
Eff you chump trump. The World Trade Center is NOT W’s fault.
Only a muslim animal would suggest that.
Trump is verminous filth. He is unworthy to run for dogcatcher.
Excellent question.
They couldn’t be looking for money; every family got donations galore, plus counseling, and the town got a new $50 million school. Other than gun control, only getting their kids back—which ain’t gonna happen.
So what exactly did he mean by that?
I wish these fool journalists would ask the obvious follow up questions.
They never do—and not just with Trump.
They just never follow up.
