Trump Embraces Conspiracy Theory On The Sept. 11th Attacks
IBD ^ | 10/20/2015 | Unknown

Posted on 10/21/2015 11:43:51 AM PDT by elhombrelibre

Election '16: Donald Trump charges that President George W. Bush "knew in advance" of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Promoting the Obama birther conspiracy was bad enough, but this is beyond the pale.

There may not be a historical precedent to a major presidential candidate accusing his own party's last president of knowingly allowing an enemy to attack America, killing thousands. Negligence bordering on treason: This is the charge Donald Trump is making against George W. Bush.

Trump told CNN on Tuesday, "George Tenet, the CIA Director, knew in advance that there would be an attack, and he said so to the president."

LoL right it's BS. These clowns at IBD are BS'ers. They are being silly stupid here.

IBD - "Trump told CNN on Tuesday, "George Tenet, the CIA Director, knew in advance that there would be an attack, and he said so to the president." "

What the CIA Director Tenet said,

"Former CIA director George Tenet told the 9/11 Commission that he had warned of an imminent threat from al-Qaeda in a July 2001 meeting with Condoleezza Rice"

Tenet Recalled Warning Rice

A Trump hating thread void of reality.

True Believers all believe in Trump without regard for truth or facts contrary to Trump’s smears of the other candidates. When Trump’s smears help get Hillary into the White House, look back and remember how this nitwit dilettante destroyed the conservative movement.

Yesterday Rush talked about this and the book Trump wrote months before 9/11 where he discussed the threat from OBL and radical Islam. He was attacking Clinton and the entire DC establishment for ignoring these threats.

Donald Trump repeated previously published accounts from the 911 Commission that CIA Director George Tenet had the information that an attack was planned and had briefed GW Bush, but both discounted the information and chose not to act.

There was no conspiracy in what he said. It’s all on the record.

As for his comments on Obama’s birth certificate, the evidence is overwhelming that it is a forgery but has never been judged in court for lack of standing on the part of plaintiffs. Donald is no longer addressing the forgery because it is not a priority of his current campaign.

Whoever wrote this drivel is trying to stir up dirt where none exists except in their own minds. Garbage has been created over ‘conspiracy’ nonsense on the part of whoever vomited this report.

Well, sir, all I can say is you’re not paying attention and clearly don’t know your a$$ from page 8.

Why does Trump play the conspiracy crank 9/11 card? He does it because he’s not a sincere conservative. He’s not interested in the truth. He’s going to destroy conservatism and help Hillary.

What’s the matter with IBD?

IBD is published as a medium for investment information, and apparently reflects the breakdown in a sense of being part of American communities in a business community, that more and more seeks goals that are in a narrow view of self-interest, but are inimical to long term American values.

I watch CNBC for a couple of hours every day; but have to cringe for the many expressions of imagined self-interest, that ignore our common American interests. It reflects the false focus of the mass media, who were taught anti-patriotic sophistication, in College.

IBD is a GOPe leftist rag.

“why is IBD trying to make something out of nothing?”

Writing bogus stories about Trump is just what they do now, it has been so for the past couple of months.

He did not embrace the truther stance on 09/11.

This is a misrepresentation.

IBD should be above this sort of thing, but boy have they and others sipped the cool-aide this time around.

Trump did not state that Bush or the CIA Director had direct information about the attack on 09/11.

He did way they were being warned of a vague attack.

There’s a big difference.

Yep. I believe George Bush knew too. Did you see the look on W’s face when he was sitting in that elementary school and told what had just happened??? He didn’t look surprised at all.

Yes, the Bush administration was aware an attack was coming. They were warned many times in advance. It’s simply a fact.

******************************************************************

No one or government can 100% guard against all possible scenarios. Hind sight is 20/20

But I believe that was your point.

I can see by your actions on this thread that you don’t care about truth and being reasoned on matters such as this.

As such you’ll simply be dismissed by many folks on the forum in the future.

Why do you bother coming here if truth and decency don’t matter to you?

Please cite exactly what Trump said claiming 9-11 was a conspiracy and where he said it. That charge seems like a “crank card” to me.
