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.
It's fair to say that Trump is a critic of Bush's policies in the middle east. It's not fair to lump him in with the most rabid, anti-American left wing loonies who opposed Bush. Trump is coming at this from a right wing pragmatic position, while Code Pink is part of the "no blood for oil" anti-western left.
This is obvious when you look at Trump's policy, which suggests that oil is the only thing in the middle east worth shedding blood for.
