Trump Goes Code Pink on George W. Bush
Politico ^ | February 14, 2016 | By Michael Grunwald

Posted on 02/14/2016 6:25:46 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

It was weird that an angry Code Pink-style protester interrupted last night's Republican presidential debate with a barrage of familiar Democratic talking points about George W. Bush - that he lied the country into a disastrous war in Iraq, failed to prevent the September 11 attacks, and even whiffed on an opportunity to kill Osama bin Laden. It was especially weird that the protestor was one Donald J. Trump, who happens to be the front-runner for the Republican nomination.

Trump didn't just call the Iraq war a mistake. He called it "a big fat mistake." And he didn't call it an inadvertent mistake because of faulty intelligence. "They lied!" he thundered. "They said there were weapons of mass destruction .. and they knew there were none. Trump even groused that the war cost $5 trillion that could have helped rebuild America's crumbling infrastructure, a common Democratic attack line that sounded like a canine talking point at a feline convention, especially in military-heavy South Carolina.

Do you have any idea what you are talking about? Answer- No. The Middle East is on fire, spreading throughout Europe. We are in more danger now than ever. Thanks George Bush.

And you again show that either you are ignorant or a lefty troll.

Obama set the middle east on fire with his muslim butt kissing. Bush warned what would happen if we pulled out of Iraq too soon.

Bob Beckel has said it’s standard practice to place mics or dial up mics in certain areas.

I never thought that I would see FReepers cheering Code Pink talking points. Not only cheer but vote for the spewer. It really is shocking.

“It’s just that the United States then elected Barack Obama, who proceeded deliberately to lose the war and make the deaths and maiming of thousands upon thousands of brave troops completely in vain.”

I agree 100% and Code Stink and their ilk can KMA.

“15 years of the War on Terror. What do we have to show. The Middle east is an even bigger basket case than it was in the 20th Century.”

Obama has really been a disaster.

“Please then provide a list of all the terrorist attacks that happened here after 911.”

A list will not be forthcoming, because there isn’t one.

Nice smack down.

Expect a brief pause while the lefties head over to DU to find more talking points.

Yes. There is. After 9/11 was Boston and San Bernadino both on Obama's watch.

You can’t win the debate so you change the goal posts. You really ARE a troll.

I didn’t smear GWB. The link also proves your point.

I know. If you trace the comment back to the lefty source, they said GWB did not keep us safe. Another poster asked for the list of attacks that occurred after 911. I said a list was not forthcoming. (Because there were none on GWB’s watch.)

You and I are on the same page.

Amen. 7 years of Obama screwing the pooch, and the dimwits (and Donald) want to blame GWB. And neither Donald nor his acolytes will believe those of us who were there and who have lived it!
