>Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said in an interview aired Sunday that he wouldn't change what he's saying - even if terrorists featured him in recruitment videos - because his words "represent toughness and strength."
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had said at the Democratic presidential debate that Trump had become "ISIS' best recruiter" and was featured in the organization's recruitment videos.
Politifact later ruled that there was "no evidence" to support Clinton's statement, which Trump noted in his interview with NBC News' "Meet the Press."
"She lies like crazy about everything, whether it's trips where she was being gunned down in a helicopter or an airplane, she's a liar and everybody knows that," Trump said. "But she just made this up in thin air."

Hillary....Tell us more about the Benghazi video.

THAT is what downtown Raqqa should look like.
Not one ceiling left.
Not one door or window left.
Complete and utter desolation.
Then start bombing the next place on the list.
When your enemy goes to ground, leave them no ground to go to.

Amen.
And too bad about collateral damage. Don’t live in the same grid square as ISIS HQ, or tough s#it.

How did Trump inspire 9/11? Who ‘recruited’ that bunch?
Are democrats and their press butt-kissers really this stupid?

“The only one that would use it against here in a debate is Trump.”
As some one else stated Trump will not abide by the Marquess of Queensbury rules in the Hillary debate. GO TRUMP GO

In a related FLASH Trump said he would NOT give his lunch money to the school bully... It was reported Trump told the bully he had left the money on the bully’s mother’s dresser than morning...

But Hillary just told a national audience ISIS has recruitment videos using Trump as a recruiting tool.
I really want to seeing these videos.

What kind of insane logic is this? Trump calls for a ban on the importation of Islamos into the USA. Treasonists like Hitlery say this will help ISIS recruit members. HOW? How the hell does that work? There is only TWO reasons why they would want to come to the USA in the first place: To escape the insanity of Islamo-Nazism or attack the USA as terrorists! So because they can’t escape the insanity of Islamo-Nazism they are going to JOIN up with it? That is utter BS. This is like when FDR banned Germans from coming to the USA. No doubt a lot of them were trying to escape Nazism. So because they can’t escape they are going JOIN the Nazi party as if they have no other option? I love how the treasonists just spew this crap out without providing one scintilla of evidence. Anyone who wants to join ISIS is going to do so ANYWAY, the USA trying to defend itself is NOT going to be the deciding factor.

It is so refreshing to hear Trump use the word “LIE”. I am so sick of Republicans ,when faced with lies from the other side, use phrases like. misspoke or less than truthful. Drives me nuts. Can you imagine Harry Reid being so polite?

Why are they still standing? Because Obama is defending them. The evidence is beyond overwhelming he sides with the enemy. A friend of mine works in Washington, he says any intel passed on the WH has to be approved first by readers who check for “offensive phrases” or it gets sent back. Write “radical Islam” and they will send it back demanding you remove that phrase.

What is the first thing the Iranians did when Reagan became president? You got it- they let the hostages go because gthe Iranians were scared crapless that Reagan MEANT what he said and was going to come after them and reign hell fire and brimstone down upon their heads
What did the Iranians do when Carter was president? Yep- thumbed their noses at him becvause they KNEW he was a spineless whimp
For the left to claim Isis is using Trump’s words as a ‘recruitment tool’ is absolutely ASININE because who in the right mind would join a movement KNOWING that a tough president is going to wipe them out? They are scared crapless that Trump might become president- and want nothing to do with isis because they KNOW trump isn’t messing around
Our current ‘leader’ has been the cause of massive signups to isis because they KNOW he isn’t going to do a damn thing to hurt them
The claim that trump is causing more signups is ASININE

“Ever since 9/11, liberals have advanced the narrative that we can’t be beastly toward Muslims because it “plays into their hands” and our actions are used as “evidence” to recruit jihadists. Whether it’s the existence of the prison camp at Guantanamo or Donald Trump’s incendiary rhetoric and exaggerations about Muslims, the answer is the same; doing or saying anything bad about Islam makes our job of defeating the terrorists that much harder.The narrative has the benefit of being impossible to prove. But that hasn’t stopped liberals from using the bogus narrative to hammer conservatives with.It also reveals a stilted worldview...”

[[CNN checked this out and found no evidence that ISIS was using a video of Trump as a recruitment tool.]]
Of course they aren’t showing videos of trump as their ‘recruitment tool’ because they don’t want to SCARE possible recruits away-
See my previous post about my thoughts on this lie that trump is causing more signups

Collateral damage?
No such thing exists in wartime.
There are only the lucky ones who live through it and the unlucky who don’t.
Go to 1945 and ask the French if the French lives lost during their liberation was worth it.
They would say YES!
As for bombing, I would like to see a competition.
Assign each type of ordnance specific grids.
Drop X amount of each type onto it’s assigned grids.
See which is most effective, remembering that the terror factor must be figured in.
Once you have a clear winner plaster everything with the top two winners.
Under my competition method collateral damage is actually a PLUS?!
