At a Wednesday morning campaign event in Bluffton, SC, Donald Trump takes his relitigation of the Bush administration's record on 9/11 and Iraq to the next level, seeming to imply that we don't currently know who "really" committed the 9/11 attacks.
Trump says if he is elected: "you will find out who really knocked down the World Trade Center."
"It wasn't the Iraqis," he explained. "You may find it's the Saudis."
"They have papers in there that are very secret," he also said, referencing the 28 still-classified pages of the 9/11 commission report. "But you will find out."

It could be he's setting her up?
If he starts tying in the total incompetence of Bill in handling Osama, she is ripe down the road for some criticism two.
After all, wasn't their slogan something like "you get both of us" for POTUS?
Is it an "A"?
Man....get the rubber room ready!!!!!!
Really, well just who is his Republican foe in this field of candidates, that he feels is a threat that had anything even remotely to do with 911? Jeb? He is doing this all to take out Jeb? Jeb is already out, really never in. This reeks of a personal vendetta against someone and he is wasting our time.
Disagree. 9/11 helped popularize the war, at the level of the citizenry.
We wanted revenge.
“Even Fox News”
Even Fox News?
Fox News is now in the hands of drooling leftard morons.
You may not be here to debate 9-11 but apparently Donald Trump is.
I’d like to solve the puzzle.
The Pakis were being funded by the Saudis.
>>What does any of this have to do with getting the dems out of power?
It’s not about getting the “dems” out of power.
It’s about reforming and restoring lawful American governance to it’s originally declared purpose: “TO SECURE THESE RIGHTS”.
Was Ike right or not?
Good. I’m way on board with the Roswell thing.
There are strange little critters hidden somewhere and Trump needs to find those suckers.
That’s right. I kind of blew it there.
Great post as always Jeff, thoughtful and eloquent
Wish we had more of it around here instead of the constant snark and barbs being tossed around.
I’m sure Iran and Afghanistan had their hands in the cookie jar too.
Terrorist groups acting in and out of Pakistan were being funded by the Saudis.
I’ve been hoping that Trump’s insanity would be revealed in time to keep him from the nomination.
There is something wrong with the dude.
He can seem sane for short periods of time but then ...
Okay, maybe I’m overstating. Not clinically insane but way too disturbed for high office.
Wouldn’t surprise me a bit.
Can’t believe I’m telling you to lighten up... Look, what I believe is this is just another smoke screen to cover up the stupid things he has said - nothing more... He only cares if it helps or hurts HIM.
We wanted to go over there and blow something up, and Saddam Hussein was jumping up and down saying “Me first!!!”.
But nobody ever said Iraq had anything to do with 9/11. 9/11 may have changed the national mood to make selling the Iraq War in order to control WMDs easier, but nobody every said that Iraq was responsible.
But here is Donald Trump saying we invaded Iraq over 9/11. Where did that come from?
Think about how ridiculous the above sentence looks now. Yet we all fell for it. It's not a strategy, it's a plot line for "Team America: World Police." It's a pathetic joke. Bush was a complete disaster. And the Saudis got away with it. He even shuttled them out of the country after 9/11, while we peasants were still grounded.
