Breitbart.com ^ | October 20, 2015 | Jeff Poor

On Tuesday’s “New Day” on CNN, Republican presidential front-runner defended his response aimed at his GOP opponent former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL), who had claimed in a debate earlier this month that the country was kept safe under former President George W. Bush.

Because they hate Trump and will use any opportunity to attack him.

They don’t want to understand him, they want to destroy him.

Maybe TWA800 should be discussed as well?

I personally don’t believe the center fuel tank theory, nor do I think the Navy fired the missle.

At least six of the 911 hijackers - all of the ringleaders - entered the US during the Presidency of B.J. Clinton. Where the hell does Trump get off trying to hang that on George Bush?

It’s worse than stupid, it’s despicable. Bush’s immigration policies had nothin to do with it. Trump is a complete jackass on this one.

If you say the truth is somewhere in the middle, please elaborate on what you mean exactly? Do you claim the US government knew and let it happen?

Well, you can't dispute that they "knew" it was coming. Again, it's provable that they were warned over and over and over again. But did they deliberately let it happen, as you dishonestly claim is Trump's position? No. It just wasn't their priority, so they didn't take the CIA's suggested action of increasing covert operations against Al-Qaeda, something that had been on the table since March.

Nice try. I say the incompetency of the federal government is the root cause. I also think that we had to know something was coming and very likely that it involved planes. Inaction and incompetence won out and they were damn quick to lock down the airports, pat down grandmas and monitor our communications afterward. Point being they could act if they wanted to.

The official story is what I question. It doesn’t work for Hillary, why should it work for GWB? Because he’s GOP? Please.

Because they overstayed their Visas into the Bush administration; and Bush kept all of Clinton's immigration policies, which are, by the way, still in effect today!

Trump is not a thinker. He is a rich guy with a 500 word vocabulary.

Jeb, if you have any affection for the GOP or your family, cease this vanity and drop out of the race.

There’s no reason to attack Clinton yet... Trump won’t be running against Clinton until after the primary. Even then it might not happen, she’ll probably be in jail or waiting for a pardon.

You might be happier on thread backing the person YOU want rather than attacking Trump.

Last thing you want to do is give that old hag a way to play the victim card.

I’ll take a stab at it, anti-Trump guy.

The only thing that I know for sure about any of this is that my government lies all the time about every single thing. It never tells the truth. Ever.

So, considering that, do I believe that I have been told the truth about precisely what happened on 9/11?

Hell no.

Now before you ask my do I think this or that happened, or do I think he or she was involved or knew in advance or didn’t know in advance.

I have no idea.

All I know is what I believe happened, but do I know my beliefs about hat day to be absolute facts?

No. How can I? I live in America.

In Lies We trust.

Trump isn’t running against George W. Bush either. The only reason to do what he did was to absolve Clinton. So, basically, you think Clinton had no responsibility for 9/11?

Do you think that G.W. Could have moved immigration legislation through congress, gotten it passed and signed into law and had it implemented in the Executive Branch, and had every over stayer picked up and deported in nine months. If you do, you are not living in the real world, and ought to restrict your comments to the other patients.

He’s running against his brother who is hiding behind W.

You shouldn’t believe everything that falls out of Rush’s mouth, Nick.

I think Bush could have aggressively enforced existing law focusing on people from the middle east or given approval to the CIA to ramp up covert operations against Al-Qaeda which they had been requesting since March!

I didn't listen to Rush. I thought Rush was full throttles in support of Trump?

Sorry, I remember the Clinton years, and I don't want to repeat them, like you do.

“Sorry, I remember the Clinton years, and I don’t want to repeat them, like you do. “

Fair point. It also applies to the Bush years (both of them) and the Obama years.

Fresh start. Hit the reset button Donald.
