I must have missed that. He should have stopped there. To attack JEB tonight because of something that happened at the beginning of GW's term is just disgusting. GW couldn't have had a clue at that time, and JEB is in no way accountable for GW's doings.

I am not a Bush supporter, I just like to see fairness, and DT is disgusting in the fairness lane.

It’s just a lie that Bush was warned by the CIA about 9/11. That is the kind of claim you just don’t hear outside of a Michael Moore movie.

The idea that Trump was “the only one” to be against the Iraq war is also a dubious claim. Trump isn’t on record being against the war until like a year in after it was already getting criticism. I don’t think any evidence that he said Bush shouldn’t go in before the war started has ever been found. I also don’t know if anyone on that stage was in any political office when the war was started except Jeb, so I’m not sure if there are statements from any of them out there saying they supported it or didn’t. Of course, nobody at the time was against it except I think the furthest left members of Congress.

Rubio was right on this one that we were “in” Iraq for over 10 years by that time enforcing no-fly-zones and doing other actions. Saddam was being forcibly contained for all that time. And I can’t remember if anyone said it, but the war wasn’t “lost” until Obama pulled out. Everyone including Democrats acknowledged the war had been won at the time he pulled out, otherwise he would have found it politically tougher to pull out.
