Donald Trump on 9/11: "You Will Find Out Who Really Knocked Down The World Trade Center"
Real Clear Politics ^ | 2/18/16 | RCP

Posted on 02/18/2016 8:38:36 AM PST by gridlock

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."

“Trying to turn Iraq into a Democracy was Bush’s biggest mistake. Arabs cannot handle Democracy, look who they’ve voted for since “Arab Spring.””

I said at the time that we should have left a representative republic like ours in place, and left immediately after, leaving them to go to Hell in the handbasket of their choosing.

You can only do so much for pigdog murder-muzzies.

That is so original. I use that line?

You can stand on your head if you must.

This is a misleading headline. It almost suggests that Trump believes that GWB may have caused the WTC to come down, considering what happened at the debate. They should have said something like ‘Trump Thinks WTC Came Down Because of the Saudis’. If you read the article, there’s very little to get excited about. Man, I’m looking forward to the SC primary being over!

I wondered about that in the last debate.

Trump went all Trump (can that now be used as an adjective) on Jeb Bush even to the point of starting a war with the last Republican president ... a guy who is not running, by the way.

And a lot of us wondered why.

Jeb is not a serious threat to Trump. He’s way, way down in all polls.

And Jeb seems like an innocuous guy who hasn’t launched too many missiles at anyone, even Trump.

So what’s going on in that strange territory that is the Trump brain?

So, why does Trump bring the Iraq War into it?

This has more than a whiff of Truther nonsense...

“It’s not about getting the “dems” out of power.”

Those rights can only be secured when the left—all of it, from the limousine liberalism of Sean Penn to the murderous insanity of the Hildebeest—is driven completely out of public life.

I don’t know what’s going on with all these people suddenly trying to convince us that the demonrats are not the blood enemies of all that is good and decent.

“Think about how ridiculous the above sentence looks now. Yet we all fell for it.”

It only sounds ridiculous because history is being rewritten to white out the fact that Saddam did have WMDs.

It’s a conspiracy theory that has absolutely no relevance to the current election.

We have a lot to worry about rather than delving back in history to argue about something that cannot be settled.

And you need to wonder about why your boy is going off the rails on this stuff?

What about all the illegals? What about The Wall?

BTW - Trump Wrote Iraq WMDs Were Threat Year Before Bush Took Office:
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.

Maybe he’s trying to tell the truth, and his thinking is still contaminated by demonrat talking points.

Lets see if I have this clear: ‘My boy’ went off the rails because he states that the Saudi’s were most involved in 9/11?

Are you sure that’s the hill you want to die on?

What “theory”? I posted a picture of Trump with his old truther buddies and made an observation. What, you don’t think Trump is friends with truthers like Ventura?

It’s not that far fetched

Elements within the House of Saud were huge Bin Laden funders

And don’t forget those Saudis whisked out of the USA immediately after the planes hit even during the no fly zone time period

I guarantee you there is info never made public

I don’t think that trump believes it is anything other them the planes crashing into the world trade center...I think he is referring to elements of the Saudi government acting in concert with there religious leaders in support of the terrorists.

“Your Boy” went off the rails because he said that 9/11 was used as a justification for the Iraq War, which is manifestly false.

Actually, I don’t know if Trump is “Your Boy” or not.

I think I’ll pass on the standing on the head thing but I might use the liar line.

It’s very popular here.
