Leading GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump said Friday he wouldn't order the U.S. military to break international laws, addressing criticism from military and legal experts that his policies regarding torture and killing the family members of terrorists would violate the Geneva Convention.

Does Trump have ANY ISSUES he will not flip flop on??? He seems like a dying fish on shore...
Well the Israelis bomb the homes of terrorists.
Merely clearing up today’s doze of attack lies from the GOPe. When the GOPe and their “Conservative media” attack dogs like NR, Red State, Town Hall etc are willing to recklessly lie daily about Trump, he is forced to clean up the lies the GOPe is spewing.
Maybe if “Principled Conservatives” rediscovered their supposed intellectual principles, Trump would not have to spend his time correcting their attack lies
I think this is what Trump was trying to communicate about the families!!!
OK, replace that word “torture” with enhanced interrogation, and replace “targeting families” with collateral damage.
Now tell those warrior-lawyers to go find somebody with hurt feelings to represent
The case against waterboarding was signed by Obama via executive order.
How is that “reversing” his stance, pray tell oh lying media?
LOL
"Donny, you're out of your element!"
Obama kills family members all the time. what else would you call it when he drone strikes a wedding?
But we're still gonna kill the b****** and if there's collateral damage...so be it. War is not a one on one.
He’s started to run for the national election. Thus a sharp turn to the left. He’ll become much more “nuanced” now that he believes he has the nomination wrapped up.
That's easy...
Flip-flopping is what happens when someone is not anchored in the truth.
It depends on who we are waterboarding and when. Not really different than putting a couple bullets into a combatant. Justified? Depending on the circumstances, yes.
You are dead wrong as usual. Trump is merely clarifying his position. Same as issuing the paper in regard to his healthcare program which you repeatedly lied about.
Maybe he'll ask a Democrat to be his running mate. It would totally make sense.
The Geneva Convention applies to uniformed soldiers of a recognized nation, taken in combat, whose nation has signed onto the convention.
Does not apply to pirates, which Islamic terrorists are.
