Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is being praised by Code Pink, a group working to end U.S. wars and militarism that has protested the Iraq War.

Trump garnered support from the organization during the GOP debate Saturday night when he called the Iraq War a mistake and accused the George W. Bush administration of lying before the invasion.

Code Pink is a big HAMAS supporter and was part of the ‘flotilla” that tried to undermine Israel.

Re: “. . . called the Iraq War a mistake and accused the George W. Bush administration of lying before the invasion.”

This WAS the Republican debate, right? Not the Democrat debate?

As much as I dislike Jeb, I still do not fault W Bush for removing Saddam. We all know that everyone’s ineliigence services, and I mean everyone’s, said that Saddam had WMD’s. We also all know that Saddam had violated the UN peace treaty several times over, and we all know that In the aftermath of 9/11, we simply could not risk letting him continue to fund terrorism and whatever else he was doing. The failure of the W’s administration came in the post-war strategy.

But, of course, after the fact is always 20/20 vision.

What the hell?

I much prefer Cruz over Trump but Trump didn’t praise these whackos, they praised him.

If we allow this, then any kook group could praise anyone we like and it would discredit them.

I know first hand that we found WMD in Iraq that proved Saddam had not complied with the UN Mandates. So that in itself proves Trump is full of it with his leftwing, Code Pink talking points. He's attacked every Republican from the left since he's been in the race, yet he still has "conservatives" who say they support him. They're loyal to the man, not the values, not the movement, not conservatism, and not the truth.

So let’s say that in a general election, Carter says he “supports” Cruz (note: Carter said no such thing for Trump), are you going to not vote for Cruz because of that?

Kooks yes indeed. But in this instance they are correct. A total waste of time treasure and far more important human lives. And for what??? At the time i believed the hype, but now i clearly see what a monumental mistake it was.

He’s agree with them. Good Lord. He’s agreeing with them, and he always has agreed with them. He’s a left/liberal. Wake up!

That's pretty funny.

The reality is that Bush made the most reasonable call given the available facts. While publicly denying that he had WMD's, we know that he was telling other Arab leaders that he did, and we knew from radio intercepts that he was telling his generals the same, and that they thought Iraq had them as well. Whatever other holes/uncertainties existed in the intelligence, we simply couldn't ignore statements from Saddam himself that he had them.

Hindsight is always 20-20.

Did you catch the remark about “spoiled rich kid”? The new memo on Trump - appealing to left-wing ideology about the rich. Ignoring, of course, that Trump parlayed a few million into 20 billion or so. Plus, being a very well known builder in NYC. Hardly spoiled - more like hard-working.

I’ll continue to look at the record and weigh all the information.

Interesting you Cruz supporters cannot sell your own candidate.

How about a cheap Mexican Imported garment?

We found out from Saddam after he was captured that his strategy was to make everyone - even his own people - believe he could and would use WMD. He went to great lengths to do so.

He thought this would keep us from attacking him.

Are you ignorant that Trump praised Hillary as a Senator and a Sec. of State and that Ivanka and Chelsea are openly “BFFs” who praise each other on social media?

You’re being too kind. Add potentially the biggest looser in Presidential history - or, if he wins, the most liberal Republican in Presidential history.

Are you talking about Trump's Sweat shop workers in Mexico, or his Illegal Polish Immigrants in the States? :)

Thank you.

It is absurdly illogical this whole string of nonsense.

If some neo-nazi tells people to vote for Cruz, and the media makes a bunch of noise about how it proves Cruz is a racist, what are these people going to do then?

Whether you realize it or not you are making Trump's point... Government regulations and high taxes force manufacturing to flee this country... Obama and the Republican Congress take better care of Obama’s illegals than American citizens...
