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.

I’ve been disappointed by some things all the candidates have done or said these past few months, but any candidate, especially a Republican one, who doesn’t know why we went into Iraq, and to accuse the Bush administration of lying about WMD’s just to start a war, that candidate, at least to me, has demonstrated a great lack of understanding, fortitude, and knowledge.

That candidate not only accuses W of lying about WMD’s, but also everyone else’s intelligence services.

Wait...

You seriously think that people were totally still in love with the Iraq war here until last Sat?

I can’t wait for Cruz to basically watch Trump’s assertion that it was a mistake to watch you guys flip on a dime.

I don’t play the “fall guy” game when I choose a President. I choose the very best man for the job and go for the win all the way to the finish line.

It’s an easy out to choose Cruz second, that way they can save their ego when Trump fails. But I prefer to choose the best and stay the course.....no need to pick no 2.

Georgie “Saddam tried to kill my daddy” Bush, lied to get us into a war to avenge his Daddy’s honor; so what that thousands of Working Class kids had to die, and thousands of others be disabled for life.

Interesting how the “Oh, so conservative” crowd are sounding like Liberals in their envy/spite for rich Americans! And they have the nerve to call us Liberals!

Welll them hon, how about you run over to D.U. and bring back a big OLE Bucket full of lists of donations to the Liberals like Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer that ALL of the Candidates running for President donated by other than one Donald J. Trump?

Or better yet get me ONE quote of any of the other Candidates bragging about the Job Obama or Hillary had done in office?

Get back to me when you find even ONE, k?

Ted Cruz praised liberal Larry Tribe while endorsing John Roberts. Does that make Cruz a liberal too?

"Trump in his book in 2000:

'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.'"

Hey, no fair repeating what Trump actually said at the time!

It's a "lie" to state the facts that are inconvenient to Trump!

“As to compared to a candidate openly in a Debate forcefully support Planned Parenthood?”

He said to stop funding their abortion business. You guys keep leaving that part out for some reason.

” Accuse W. of invading Iraq knowing ahead of time there were no WMD?”

Like it or not, it wasn’t as above-board as we were told, and that’s from the administration themselves.

” Or blaming the 9/11 on W.”

His presidency. Not that it makes me feel good seeing how he stood up after it, but the facts are it was on his clock. Can’t sit here and scream at Obama for blaming Bush for everything, but then say “Bush could never know”. The intelligence community didn’t 100% switch over in Jan 2001. Sadly they should have been on the ball. But the blame can go either way.

He’s got to be happy that he’s bringing his left wing values to conservatives. And he’s winning converts for Code Pink and Michael Moore.

It’s not envy. Trump brags about his wealth. Yet how did he get it? The same way the Kennedys got theirs. It was given to him.

Well lookie there Another Fact that pops up. Now watch all the Lemmings just walk on past... :)

Sorry, but Berny or Hillary are not choices for me. Enjoy your all or nothing idiocy.

BTW:

* Trump doesn’t support H1V Visas...Cruz does.

* Trump didn’t pass out teddy bears and soccer balls at the Southern border with Glenn Beck to ILLEGALS...Cruz did.

* Trump didn’t work with Paul Ryan to pass TPA...Cruz did.

* Trump didn’t vote for the Corker Bill...Cruz did.

Please stick your “conservative purity test” right up your arse. you Cruz supporters are abject hypocrites!

Bush = being in synch with Code Pink!!!

At least that’s how the “logic” goes.

Maybe he has evolved on this position since he wrote the book, like he did with abortion?...

What a liberal hack he is.

Listen Trumptard, this is a competition, and if one competitor - the Progressive-Statist advocate of infanticide Trump - throws in with Code Pink, that’s relevant.

Why is it that the most wretched scum, e.g., Code Pink and White Nationalists, are all supporting Trump? Because like attracts like.

Yep Bush agreed with Code Pink.

I’m not sure if they ever praised him for it?
