Another day, another "Trump" for the faithful to clean up.

The lies Trump delivered in SC during the GOP debate were structured for political opportunism. But, again, the truth outs.

In 2000 Donald Trump wrote in HIS book, The America we Deserve

Consider Iraq. After each pounding from U.S . warplanes, Iraq has dusted itself off and gone right back to work developing a nuclear arsenal. Six years of tough talk and U.S. fireworks in Baghdad have done little to slow Iraq's crash program to become a nuclear power. They've got missiles capable of flying nine hundred kilometers-more than enough to reach Tel Aviv. They've got enriched uranium. All they need is the material for nuclear fission to complete the job, and, according to the Rumsfeld report, we don't even know for sure if they've laid their hands on that yet. That's what our last aerial assault on Iraq in 1999 was about. Saddam Hussein wouldn't let UN weapons inspectors examine certain sites where that material might be stored. The result when our bombing was over? We still don't know what Iraq is up to or whether it has the material to build nuclear weapons. I'm no warmonger. But the fact is, if we decide a strike against Iraq is necessary, it is madness not to carry the mission to its conclusion. When we don't, we have the worst of all worlds: Iraq remains a threat, and now has more incentive than ever to attack us.

1. After entering Iraq George Bush did not defend his assertion that Iraq had stockpiles of wmd. He left his defenders twisting in the wind without lifting one finger to help.

2. The Iraq monitoring group and Hans Blick consistently stated there were no stockpiles of wmds in iraq.

3. Missing stockpiles of wmds that would have been new in 2003 have not been found.

Taking the above 3 into account it would be reasonable for a fair American to say that Bush misrepresented the case of wmds in iraq. His refusal to defend his assertion from the beginning of his operation is a sobering thought.

“I’m no warmonger. But the fact is, if we decide a strike against Iraq is necessary, it is madness not to carry the mission to its conclusion.”

1. strike if necessary

2. an air strike, as when Israel took out Syria’s nukes, is not an invasion by hundreds of thousands of troops. About the same thing he is calling for now.

Did Trump write that in 2000?

Yes, he did.

Trump Wrote Iraq WMDs Were Threat Year Before Bush Took Office

FANTASTIC find in Post #5!

Do you want another liar-in-chief folks?

I’m getting so sick of Trump calling others what he HIMSELF is! It’s what liberals do. In fact, it’s what communists do!
