You Tube. Trump explained in 2007 that the Iraq War turned into a civil war; someday the US will have to leave and "it will be a disaster." Trump reached out to returning maimed Iraqi vets. Worth a watch.
The WTC was first attacked on Trumps good friend B Clinton’s watch.
In fact the 1st WTC bombing was the original “spontaneous” lie out of the Clintons to describe a terrorist attack and it was also the first time the Clintons tried to blame a Bush for a terrorist attack.
The 1992 LA race riots were described as a spontaneous protest and the 1ST WTC bombing was described as a spontaneous attack just like with Benghazi. Just a coincidence of course.
In fact it was the Bush 41 adm that had the 1st WTC bombers under surveillance and it was Trumps good friend B Clinton’s adm that lost the terrorist which made it possible for them to bomb the WTC which the Clintons then claimed was a spontaneous response to Bush sending troops into Somalia.
What a coincidence, it was the Clintons which pushed Bush to send the troops into Somalia where OBL was.
Isn’t it amazing how Trump’s good friends the Clintons always have just the right talking points in place before a terrorist attack so they have just the right spin after the attack.
AFGP-2002-600321, seems OBL says it not just a coincidence Trump’s good friends the Clintons always have just the right talking points in place before an attack so they can put the right spin on the news after the attack.
What did Trump know about the Clintons and when did he know it?
Pretty early on, I’m ghuessing. He warned about it in a book prior to 9/11. Even mentioned Osama bin laden by name.
Here's a prediction I wrote on September 13, 2001 about what was going to happen. I didn't know then that Vietnam II would be fought in Iraq, but I was pretty sure that we would blow sh*t up, demonstrate we could take casualties (so we looked serious) without conquering the enemy (so we didn't look mean) and wind up worse off, which is exactly what happened.
A punitive expedition (which is how Afghanistan started) was the minimum acceptable response. IF we had killed Bin Ladin and his team at Tora Bora in December 2001, success could have been declared and it would have been over.
The necessary for victory was the conquest of Arabia and Pakistan. Sounds big, I know, but certainly smaller than the conquest of Japan and Germany. Yes, the Soviets did a lot to Germany, but we could have had India's legions for the Pakistan part.
But a 80-division expeditionary force, mostly white and all Western, grinding little brown men to dust and re-educating their children was always beyond the imagination of the Bush family and their crew.
That left him with the need to do "something" bigger than Special Forces on horseback chasing out the Taliban and smaller than a war to extirpate the cancer that is politicized Sunni Islam.
Saddam WAS wearing a sign that said "kick me", and had been for years, but he was an entrepreneur of brutality with a keen sense of survival, so it's certain he and his army could have been bought for the march on Riyadh.
Bush thought small at a time when big thinking was a necessity, and the subsequent disasters are entirely the result of this failure. His pathetic embrace of "enforcing UN resolutions" as casus belli only made failure more certain.
It disgusts me that there are Republican candidates who are not made physically ill by the magnitude of our sacrifices for nothing in Iraq.
For after all, even if the fantasy of a multicultural, peaceful, feminist Iraq and Afghanistan had come true (impossible though that was), our real enemies in Riyadh and Islamabad would still sleep soundly in their beds, as they do to this day.
Jeb Bush spent 1/10 of a billion dollars and has nothing to show for it.
I hate, hate, hate having to watch a video when I could read the transcript in 1/100th the time.
You mean Jeb's brother Bill?
We did our best to defend Bush and his WMD claim and all we got was brushed aside.
He could have fought it on so many fronts, but he rope-a-doped the issue all the way to the Barack Obama presidency.
And now another member of that family wants to be president, wants to start Bush WarIII, and wants to fund al Qaeda in Syria.
I kid you not.
“Bush did some good things, no doubt, but by 2004, as you aptly point out, he was more interested in making nice with the Dems, than defending his (OUR) conservative positions.”
Bush should have torn into everything Clintstone had done like the Tasmanian Devil. Had he done so, he might have discovered the problems in our intel bureaucracies.
He should definitely have had the Hildebeest indicted for the murder of Vince Foster, and her faux husband for the murders of Jerry Parks and Ron Brown, just for starters.
Above all, he should have destroyed the sodomite supremacist movement, at any cost.
Within a few hours of the towers coming down Powell was on TV talking about Al Queda and Osama Bin Ladin. I had never heard of them until then. But obviously the Bush administration knew all about them. Why didn’t they start attacking them the moment he was sworn in?
I’m not a truther but I don’t think Bush is blameless. And he is a little on the slow side. His little brother is sitting there in neutral.
Trump really is crazy. He says anything that pops into his head even when they conflict with what he has said before.
Either Trump or Cruz but it looks like Trump as president. Hpefully what pops into his head is to arrest the Clintons and obama for their many crimes.
The key comment from a stellar commentary. A real, principled leader would have gone to Saudi Arabia with weapons in hand, and dismembered the "royal family" there for their involvement in 911. But the Booshes have been, and continue to be the Saudi's "butt boys." In a country of so many really brilliant and productive people is it to our everlasting shame that we have allowed ourselves to be “taken in” by the $hit we've had in the White House since Ronald Reagan left. To my mind, even he was “forced” to take GHWB by the GOPe at the time as their “price” for “support.” As I see it, the same moneyed trash that's working behind the political scene today (or perhaps their progeny) have been running our country as their own private fiefdom for all of my 75 years. Sure, Donald Trump is a gamble, but it's one I'm taking when I look at the odds that tell me that any of the rest of them will just be a repriese of what we've had. I can't imagine that Trump could be worse than what we've eudured for so long.
That's proof Bush learned from history. You should try it.
This part of your post fits me like a glove:

~~Go Trump Go~~
Rick Rescorla, known as the man that predicted 9/11, didn’t just dream it up out of thin air.
He knew it was coming months in advance even before Bush was president IIRC.
In that doc #AFGP-2002-600321, OBL tells you exactly where to look for 90% of the preparation for the battle(attack) and those preparations aren’t being made by the terrorist overseas but by people in this country.
>>it looks like Trump as president.
I don’t think Trump can beat Sanders the communist on the basis of “populist” appeal.
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/01/23/hamilton-trump-is-a-pino-populist-in-name-only/
So Trump can’t beat Cruz on Conservative terms, and can’t beat Sanders on the Populist ground he’s chosen.
Cruz or lose.
Syria's Chemical Weapons Came From Saddam's Iraq
Pentagon announces 500 tons of Uranium shipped from Iraq to Canada
And as a side note, the presence of yellow cake uranium totally debunks the Op Ed article by one Jack Wilson which led to a 3 year investigation into who “outed” his lying bitch wife as being a “covert” CIA agent......which by the way has NEVER been verified...........
Plus Bush went to central America and told them to come into America illegally. 20 congress men wrote letters to him asking him to not go into another country and tell them to come and break our laws again. Also christians started being persecuted in the military for not going along with the homosexual agenda. One minister was thrown off a ship in Norfolk. Thedamage Bush did was far reaching. He also oversaw jobs leaving in large numbers.
I was just reading about Genl MacArthur, and how he failed to stockpile provisions and ordnance at Corregidor. Hundreds died losing and retaking that citadel.
