Trump certainly sound like Obama when he was talking about George Bush. If there weren’t WMD’s how did Saddam Hussein use them? Why did we keep finding left overs for many years to come? Yes, Saddam exaggerated what he had, but there was enough WMD’s to worry about. Plus I don’t know anyone even on the liberal side that blames Bush for 9-11. That was just way off. This really could be Trump’s downfall.
Check it out:
Donald Trump and Jeb Bush argue over Iraq, 9/11 and weapons of mass destruction at Saturday night’s debate moderated by CBS News. Trump addresses comments in made in 2008 where he said he was not surprised then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi didn’t try to impeach Bush over Iraq.
“The World Trade Center came down during the reign of George Bush,†Trump said to a strong reaction from the audience. “That’s not keeping us safe.â€
“George Bush made a mistake. We can make mistakes. But that one was a beauty. We should have never been in Iraq. We have destabilized the Middle East,†Trump said.
“You call it whatever you want. I will tell you. They lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction and there were none. And they knew there were none. There were no weapons of mass destruction,†Trump ripped Bush.

It's also the left wing party line. For a Republican candidate to repeat it shows that that candidate is a liar who will say or do ANYTHING -- literally -- to get elected.
JUST when I get to like Trump again, after one of his speeches, he says THIS. Bush was no liar. Trump is losing my vote...again.

Tsk, sorry for the repeat, folks...er, the three-peat.
I was taught in Middle School that the Kurds were being attacked with chemical weapons. Are those not WMDs?
You can say that again.
if this doesn’t finish him, then sanity has truly left the political process this year.
spewing lunatic left wing conspiracy theories has got to be disqualifying. another example is from a couple of weeks ago when he came out for universal health care; he claimed that americans were “dying in the streets”.
Trump is rewriting history. He will destroy conservatism.
If he wanted to say that he didn’t think there had been WMDS beforehand, he might be on legitimate ground. But no, he has to go to “Bush lied” just like a good lefty.
What no one seems to remember is that Colin Powell listed 17 reasons for that war, of which WMDs were a fairly minor one. The main reason was that Saddam was sponsoring and harboring terrorists. And he was in violation of the 1991 peace agreement and 17 UN resolutions. That’s reason enough.
if Trump builds a wall and starts the illegals packing he can claim the earth is flat and walk around nude painted green. I’ll vote for him at least once. At least
So you Trumpkins are really good at stuffing online polls and robovoting. Big, fat, hairy deal. Mans nothing.
Tramp is a pseudocon.
Dang. He lost your vote 3 times in one thread.
Who do you think you are.... a dead Democrat voter? :)
Everyone knows that Saddam didn’t vhe WMDs, despite what 6 intelligence agencies and his regime’s own documents told us.
If he gassed the Kurds, they undoubtedly deserved it.
Since we know he used gas on them, ipso facto, gas is not a WMD.
Because everyone knows there were no WMDs in Iraq.
QED.
He’s out there tipping some sacred cows, all right.
But this is what a quest for truth rather than some conservative version of P.C. looks like.
Did you think that only liberal P.C. was going to meet his barbs?
you see!!!
i’m not a psycho or a troll or have a “schtick”!!
every day he says something i love then 10 hours later tweets something i hate!!!
People think i’m up to something because i flip and flop.
I have been with Cruz now for three days lol.
That is a dem talking line.
THE COLE, THE KOBE TOWERS, THE 1993 ATTACK ON MY WTC!!!
billy should have taken care of this.
i really believed, (as i worked in Manhattan) that there was some kind of anti aircraft battey on top of the tower!!
i dont know anything about he military but after the ‘93 attacks, i figured military weaponry and tactics were all over the place around the WTC!
and i kept yelling, “why is he going after 4 men like they robbed a bank!!!!???”
there was a country behind this!!!
alright, i’m done.
People that live in the ever shrinking enclaves of the former America can’t understand your point. They truly can’t.
We were in the KSA for five years from 1980 on. I can remember being VERY glad that General Powell was on our side. He KNEW what a maniac Hussein was.
