Donald Trump crossed the line at the last Republican debate — twice: when he blamed President George W. Bush for 9/11, and when he bought into the “Bush lied†lie about the Iraq War.
“The World Trade Center came down during the reign of George Bush,†Trump said, because the president “didn’t listen to the advice of his CIA.â€
Sorry: The CIA missed it coming, as did the rest of the US intelligence community. The feds failed to connect the dots and ferret out the terrorists before they struck.
But al Qaeda actually grew — and planned the attack — on President Bill Clinton’s watch. And Clinton-era restrictions on, for example, what the CIA could tell the FBI, helped keep those dots unconnected.
On Sunday, Trump tried to backtrack. “I’m not blaming [Bush],†he said. Right.

9/11 happen during Bush’s term? yes
Did Bush keep us safe? No
Did Trump accuse Bush of 9/11 conspiracy? No
Is Bush responsible for security? yes
more GOPe editorials that mean nothing.. you’ll see on Saturday how much they don’t mean
Yeah, yeah..
The NY Post doesn’t get to draw any lines.
Trump was right, Jeb was wrong.
BTW, check out this new Cruz ad:
Conservatives still do. I supported trump about two weeks.. Then I remembered 2000 and I looked at the constitution. He has an anti constitutional record. Then he was scared of a girl who might ask unfair questions.. I am not a bush fan, when he went patriot act, I couldn’t agree. The rent a crowd Trumpeteers will eventually go back to DU.. Mr Single Payor 2000 isn’t any constitutionalists candidate. Hiding behind veterans and running to lawyers to sue his way to the top.. Um, not just no. He has more in common with al gore.. Chelsea Clinton than even whobio.
The Establishment is going crazy.
They are throwing everything they can including the kitchen sink at Trump.
The Establishment knows Trump is going to win South Carolina.
LOL! Priceless.....
I’m looking forward not backwards. I suggest others do the same since we can do something about that yet to happen.
Did Trump accuse Bush of 9/11 conspiracy? No
Actually, yes! When he said the lied they said there were WMDs and they knew there were none. Then a conspiracy would be in order to start a war against Saddam.
Brave New World. Now articles questioning Trump’s criticism of Bush get tagged as “sewage.” It’s silly season.

The Donald went full throttle Code Pink. Pathetic.
Love it!
Go Trump!
Cruz voted against defense spending because there was some real junk in the bill...
“I voted against the National Defense Authorization Act because when I campaigned in Texas, I told voters in Texas that I would oppose the federal government having the authority to detain U.S. citizens permanently with no due process,†Cruz said.
I'm with Cruz on that one...
The ad vilifies Ted for praising Ed Snowden for revealing what he did...A lot of Trump/Cruz supporters (not to be confused with the GOPe conservative Cruz supporters) give Snowden a meager hero status for revealing the anti-American activities going on in our ABC agencies...
Ted doesn't have the time to counter the misleading ad...
Well good morning, J.E.B...
Bttt
FWIW, I don’t care for this negative ad by a PAC at all. Cruz is sinking on his own weight, and there’s some debatable stuff in there that he can defend against. Who benefits from this ad?
George W. Bush was perfect and you’re a liberal if you dare criticize him.
/sarcasm
Character does matter to some of us, not so much to others.
I am constantly amazed at the gymnastics the Trump-menschen will attempt in order to justify their blind allegiance to the Little Tin Godling.
If so much wasn’t at stake I would laugh but it reminds me too much of the Hope and Change Obama zombies.
The antics of candidate Trump have been bad enough to drop him down my list.
Like his divorces.
Sleeping around on your wife is all about character or the lack thereof.
Sleeping with the wives of your friends, business associates and business opponents is all about character or the lack thereof.
It doesn’t matter how much wealth you accumulate, how many beautiful, huge buildings you build nor how many people you employ.
It doesn’t matter how many custom 757 airplanes you own, how many rides you give the kiddies in your custom helicopter or how many photo-ops you have with service members.
When you are stone cold dead your character is all anyone, even family, will remember.
Trump has none.
The vitriol of the Trump-menschen has pretty much guaranteed a third party vote if the Little Tin Godling somehow gets the nomination.
The Constitution Party looks better every day.
You need to take some Valium.
“Trumpeteers” to go back to DU?
Really?
