Seriously, people here at FR have spent a lot of time over the last decade piecing together the situation regarding WMD and Saddam, and the situation between Saddam and Bin Ladin, and Saddam and the various Al Qaeda affiliates. The relationship between the first and the second World Trade Center attacks, in 2001 and several years prior. Saddam and the hunt for uranium. And on and on.
The situation is at once more complex and more interesting than you’ll ever get in a five minute conversation or bumper sticker.
If you’ve been part of these discussions you realize that Trump doesn’t really have any idea what he is talking about. I have given him the benefit of the doubt, though, because based on his character I assume that had he been in office when the Towers were toppled, he would have made Bush’s war look like a walk in the park. So his comments that he would not have gone into Iraq are just a bumper-sticker. He would have done the same and more, so in fact would anyone, Ron Paul would have seen himself forced to act in the wake of an attack like that.
But his attacks on GW Bush as culpable for the 911 attacks are pretty off-putting. I can’t take him seriously. He has no clue what he is saying. I always say that Trump is my second choice after Cruz, and probably most Cruz people have felt this way. And despite the noise you hear in these threads, probably most Trump people have Cruz as their #2 choice. Until now, at least. Trump has done himself damage by this kind of nonsensical attack.
I agree. I sure wish he'd go back to what put him at the top.....talking about securing our borders, keeping businesses in the U.S., stopping the flow of Syrian refugees, and the attack on Christianity.
