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."

Trump well likely have a sudden and fatal heart attack if he keeps saying he will expose the truth behind 9/11.

Why didn’t Van Jones find the documentation for this when he was part of the Obama regime?

“But was Clinton acting on the “no fly zones”?”

Yes, he was.

“Iraq challenged the no-fly zone beginning in December 1992 when a USAF F-16 fighter plane shot down an Iraqi MiG-25 Foxbat fighter which had locked onto it in the Southern no-fly zone. The next month Allied planes attacked Iraqi SAM sites in the South.[citation needed] Baghdad eventually halted firing on patrolling Allied aircraft after August 1993.

In the aftermath of Operation Desert Fox in December 1998, Iraq announced it would no longer respect the no-fly zones and resumed its efforts in shooting down Allied aircraft. Saddam Hussein offered a $14,000 reward to anyone who could accomplish this task, but no manned aircraft were ever shot down by Iraq. Air strikes by British and American aircraft against Iraqi claimed anti-aircraft and military targets continued weekly over the next few years.”

Each day, they continue to help him.

That is a dirty not so secret. Saudia Arabian people were the primary terrorists. Bin Laden was a Saudi. We couldn’t go after Saudia Arabia because they are ostentatiously our “friends”...or at least our corporate friends. So nobody dared or dares to say the truth.

The crazy uncles— yes, but most importantly the baksheesh bribery payments made by the Royal House of Saud, as well as competing amounts from the “uncles” to support the Sunni madrassahs, which train fanatic islamofascist terrorist in their “religious” duty. THAT is what is needed to be said.

Meanwhile the leader of the House of Saud and his minions— live the majority of the time in .... Geneva. Far away from the madrassah trainees (like bin laden was). Medieval system in a modern world that does NOT get it.

I don’t think anyone thought it was the Iraqi’s.

Is Trump still trying to defend his rightful criticism of Bush’s bone-headed Iraq invasion? Dang man, leave it at that.

Trump needs to get off it. Suprising becuse usually Trump is pretty accurate in spotting the issues. Here he looks like he’s gone of the rails a bit.

No one claimed the Iraqi’s did it. It was Osama bin laden. Saudi passports made it easier to get into the country.

Which is why Bush’s relationship with the Saudis as friends and not probable foes had us wondering what the hell was going on?

So...he seems to be suggesting that the Saudi government had a hand in the handiwork of Saudi citizens? Plausible, I guess. Not really proven, I don’t think.

Perhaps already validated when, at the time of the Trade Center massacre, Giuliani was angered and refused hundreds of millions of dollars offered to NY by the Saudi's.

What did Giuliani KNOW or SUSPECT that made him do that?

Just had to post this ... SOMEWHERE, so decided on this thread!

Break room channel just happened to be turned to MSNBC...a few minutes ago, while they were going to break, one of their reporters was talking with a Black woman having her hair done in a salon. She's sitting there with the cape over the front, male stylist (roll) curling her hair, and the reporter guy asks: "What do you think of Donald Trump?" She says she couldn't say what she really thought because it was on T.V. He then says: "You don't like Donald Trump?" She replies: "If Donald Trump becomes president, he'll put us on slave ships and send us back to Africa." Then it cuts to commercial. I kid you not. This is what what she said! (Shaking head here with face in palm)

We couldn't go after Saudi Arabia because they threatened to blow up their oil production capacity if we tried anything. In that regard, I think the Iraq War was an effort to flank Saudi Arabia economically, because removal of Saddam meant that Iraq could develop it's significant reserves as a counterbalance to Saudi petropower.
