Says you. Millions of other Americans believe he will do what he says.

Results. So far I have nothing to show from the Tea Party in congress. They haven’t stopped a damn thing.

America is a ship adrift at sea. Somebody needs to start steering it. Trump will.

If he welches he’s gone. If he doesn’t we all win.

What is the alternative? More Tea Party? Hasn’t worked so far.

And what would you have done with these warnings? What actions would you have taken? And after you give me the list, point out which one or ones would stopped the attacks twin towers and pentagon.

And did they reveal either the date or the target(s) of “the imminent attack?” What would you have done to prevent the imminent attack on an unknown target on an unknown date?

And when you are told month after month “He was being told over and over again, attack may just be weeks away!” Just when do you know the attack will be and what the target will be. Please provide that information from the warnings, otherwise you only know something will probably happen, but don’t know when or where. Is your solution for the president to have invoked martial law, ground all aircraft, stop all trains, ships, trucks?

Please tell me the concrete actions you would have taken based upon “being told over and over again, attack may just be weeks away!”

Apparently the fireball erupted precisely at the weak point of the skyway - the underside of the pier where all of the supporting steel girders are bare and unprotected by concrete or anything else, said Berkeley civil engineering professor Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl. The steel supports were baked at 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit (the fire reached 2,000 degrees), the point at which steel turns to rubber, causing the steel to buckle and the double-decker freeway to collapse completely.

LOL. Your line of defense is to point out how weak and ineffectual he was?

No, my line of defense is that you're actually quite clueless as to what being president entails. You probably think GWB should have stopped Katrina too, after he was warned that it *might* hit *somewhere*.

They knew much at least of two 911 terrorists. If they would have gotten on the stick, they could blew up the whole terrorist operation.

There wasn’t even a pretense of airport security. Bush could have stepped that up easily.

Kerry was on the committee responsible for the Boston airport.

Oh, so it was Kerry’s fault.

Damn, I have this all wrong.

You are correct. I think that most people who misunderstand Trump do so willfully. I also believe, from many years observation on this site, that a lot of these same people are paid GOPe disrupters.

Move on Donald. Harping on GW and 911 is making you look stupid and desperate.

No it isn't...Many people in Washington had hints that something was in the wind....No one took it seriously or put the pieces together...

Jeb is using his brother's reputation to reflect upon himself...Give himself a one-up...

Trump is just letting people know that the ball was dropped and Jeb's statement wasn't 100% accurate...

And we also know that W. would not put up a border fence and many an illegal alien waltzed thru the border, and who knows how many terrorists...

Jeb messed up and used his brothers name and W. got drug thru the mud a little bit...If Jeb will just shut up about it, it'll go away...

I'm with Trump on this one...

And these are 911 terrorists that were arrested before the attack took place, thus should have been interrogated for what they knew? Or are you talking about the report of the guys taking flying lessons?

Obviously it stops with GWB. That applies to everything that happened before he took office, during and every year since he left office. It's all GWB's fault, and your Obama is the only one who can keep us safe. I get it.

You like to get absurd with you arguments, but thank you for admitting he does have some culpability in the matter. It is by no means all his fault, but he is not blameless as you were asserting.

Didn’t know trump was a Truther.

Didn't know you could read an entire article and post a comment on FR in 30 seconds. Oh wait, maybe you didn't read it, and just wanted to be "first."

“[L]ook, his brother gets hit on, he’s a loyal person, and he’s loyal to his brother. But his brother made some mistakes. His brother could have made a mistake with the actual hit because they did know it was coming. And George Tenet, the head of the CIA told him that it was coming. So, they did have advanced notice and they didn’t really work on it. Now that’s something that could happen. I don’t blame him for that. Again, the question was — it wasn’t that I was blaming. They said that our country was safe under Bush. I said, well, what about the World Trade Center coming down in the worst attack in history? The statement was our country was safe under his brother.”

Sorry, but it's all true.

It would have happened no matter who was president at the time, that we can be sure of. At least GWB was able to call it what it was, namely terrorism. Obama would have probably called it a conspiracy by radical right-wing racist Republicans.

These guys should have been taken and investigated - al-Mindhar and al-Hazmi. The FBI had these two guys on their radar screen and the FBI should have moved quicker.

Trump is correct in what he says no matter how you cut it. You can start your reading here. I'm not going to spoon feed.

Your hindsight is remarkable for its clarity and your self-assurance for its emptiness.
