Rudy Giuliani: Trump 'Absolutely Wrong' About 9/11 and George W. Bush [VIDEO] [Trump lies again]
Polistick ^ | February 17, 2016 | Matthew K. Burke

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who was mayor during the horrific 9/11 Islamic terrorist attacks that brought down the World Trade Center — the twin towers — and resulted in the tragic death of over 3,000 Americans, says that Donald Trump calling George W. Bush a liar over the matter is “absolutely wrong.”

Giuliani, appearing on FOX & Friends Wednesday morning, said that while he may turn out to be a supporter of Trump’s, perhaps even during the primary and even considers him a friend, his blame of President Bush for 9/11 is way out of bounds.

“What he said about President Bush is absolutely wrong,” Giuliani argued.

"I want to tell you. They lied," Donald Trump said at the ninth GOP debate Saturday night. "They said there were weapons of mass destruction, there were none. And they knew there were none. There were no weapons of mass destruction," he shouted.

Then on Sunday, Trump told Chuck Todd on NBC’s Meet the Press, that he “didn’t call anyone a liar.”

On Tuesday, Trump flipped again, saying that he didn’t “know if he lied or not,” to George Stephanopoulos of ABC’s Good Morning America.

Just look at all the WMD we found.......NONE.

That's because as we were coming in with our troops, by the time it was approved to go to war, the WMD were being funneled out the back door!

to say there were NONE are the talking points of CODE PINK.

Maybe you are on the wrong forum, or on second thought maybe I AM on the wrong forum now. BIG SIGHS

Trump didn't say that Bush lied.

Trump was read a quote he made back in 2008 where he did say that Bush lied. Trump responded this time saying that Bush made a mistake.

After reading the comments on this thread, I think it's official. We have become Democratic Underground. Thanks, Donald.

““Bush lied” is a lie. Saying the Bush administration knew in advance about 9/11 is a lie. These are lies that anti-Americans tell.

No, Bush had all the intel.

Donald is getting to sound too much like Sean Penn

UN releases report on Iraqs chemical weapons programme

Iraq WMD's found in Three Syria Sites

Saddam Sent WMD to Syria, Former General Alleges

Saddam's secrets (WMD's)

“Donald Trump says he doesn’t flat-out blame former president George W. Bush that the Sept. 11 terror attacks happened on his watch. But he can think of three reasons why one could hold Bush responsible.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2015/10/18/trump-triples-down-on-george-w-bushs-responsibility-for-911/

Trump has proved to be a political issue minesweeper. As Rush wondered about today, by challenging Jeb!, Trump has taken the “Republicans’/Bush’s fault” planks away from Hillary’s platform in a General Election. For the natural follow-on, look at the first two reasons Trump gives in the WaPo interview: the lax immigration policies (dems fault) and intelligence agencies not talking to each other (dems fault, and very specifically, Clinton admin’s fault). Regardless of whether Trump is the final candidate or not, he just cleared the bay for whoever is.

If you listen carefully, Matthews misrepresents what Cheney said.

Cheney: “We BELIEVE he has reconstituted nuclear weapons.”

Matthews: “(Cheney) said he (Sadaam) has reconstituted nuclear weapons.

Clearly, subtleties of fact are lost on liberals, or anyone with an agenda, for that matter.

The Bush administration folks said otherwise after the fact: - TigerClaws

Solon.com, huh?

Pardon me if I don't read anti-conservative agiprop. Oh, and by the way, I was alive at the conclusions of BOTH the Viet Nam and Iraq wars, so I well recall the Democrat-Marxist M.O. concerning "America must lose every war".

The truth is something different than THE DONALD spoke, and he's going to pay a long term price for that. He'll need a whole lot of "MOVEON.ORG" voters to replace the conservatives he's lost, unless he repudiates those statements on Iraq and 9/11.

But you, as a FReeper conservative, what us all to join in with the Code Pink lies? Good luck with that mission, my friend.

FReegards!

"U.S. intelligence officials warned President Bush weeks before the Sept. 11 attacks that Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network might hijack American planes, but White House officials stressed the threat was not specific." -- TigerClaws, Obama, John Kerry, Michael Moor, and Code Pink

Half truth at best, and your post ignores a whole lot of other circumstances which would take me about 20 minutes to post.

Trump's lie supports the Democrats meme. Trumps likes dishonors a whole lot of American's who fought the war in good faith, while Democrat "pajama boys" stayed home and did, well, whatever pajama boys do when they get together.

You should pick a side. You can't attack conservatives with Democrat lies, and maintain a conservative reputation. Neither can Trump.

Truth doesn't work like that.

i’m not a troll, but i am concerned about his bragging about being pretty good at suing, about constantly talking about his poll numbers, about cursing on stage, about comparing carson to child molester then pointing fingers at Cruz, about liking the soldiers who dont get caught (he didn’t lie that men that suffered during the Bataan Death March?), about making fun of neurological illness, about being VERY pro democratic ideals in the past, etc.

Still, he says a lot of thing i like to hear. I’m voting for Cruz, but what can I do if trump wins?

can’t have hillary or bernie in office.


That about sums it up.

So WMD”s were actually found in Iraq, and no one bothered telling us?

If no WMD’s were found, and that was the reason Dubya invaded Iraq, then why was not lying?

Even if some third rate CHEMICAL WMD’s were present in Iraq, why not attack North Korea instead who ALREADY had dozens of NUCLEAR WMD’s? Or Pakistan who has 200 NUCLEAR WMD’s and is infested with radical Islamists?

So now Dumbya invades Iraq based on a lie, and we have the worst chaos in middle east. Iran controls fragmented Iraq, Yemen is infested with Al Qaeda, Libya is controlled by ISIS, Syria has ISIS headquarters, and Christians are getting their heads chopped off.

Thank you Dumbya.

You know who said Cruz DID have a problem with NBC?

Cruz himself, when he defined it as having TWO citizen parents, and born on the soil.

Happened in an interview when he was running for the Senate.
