We can disagree on those things, but what I will not countenance is the characterization that Bush outright lied

I already said there's no way to prove whether Bush lied or not, short of Bush coming out and admitting to it. Trump is speculating. All the arguments about the war are water under the bridge. It's done, it's still unpopular, and being against it won't hurt Trump.

As far as Code Pink goes, agreeing with a few of their talking points isn't the same as signing up for their whole agenda. I for one never supported them, they were obviously unhinged. But I was never confident in the Bush administration's panglossian plans for democracy in the middle east.

Rude, crude Trump's simple plan to invade and take their oil is far nore realistic. That would cut islamic terror off at the knees.

MaxFlint, it isn’t just some issue Code Pink and Donald Trump agree with such as some kind of money policy, this is a basic fundamental characterization of something very important to me that Trump is echoing.

Sure, it is a hot button for me, and I admit it, and there are many who would shrug their shoulders about it, but to me, it goes to the core of the issue that started with 3000 dead American civilians and ended up with an occupying American military force, thousands who died and were wounded to get there, and the money spent to do it.

You can see I view it differently than some.
