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."

I just find it amazing that he is willing to throw such stupid accusations around in order to land a punch on Jeb! Bush, who is running about 2% in the polls.

Most people take 9/11 seriously. Why is Trump talking out this nether orifices on this?

We know it’s the Saudis. We know it wasn’t the Iraqis.

So why is Donald Trump talking about the Iraq War?

He gets in these interviews and they steer him in to saying things he doesn’t need to say.

I’ve said this before.

But it’s happened before... many times.

Trump has lost it.

Even Fox News is featuring the national polls showing Cruz ahead of Trump by a big margin..

They also showed that Cruz ad showing the interview on TV with Trump proclaiming how pro-choice he is.

And then Trump threatening to sue. And then Ted (or Teddy as Trump is now calling him) saying he would love to depose Trump in that lawsuit.

We all lost something on 911 and I am over Trump using it as a personal loss to campaign with. It has nothing to do with today.

I thought illegal immigration, the Obamacare disaster, the dismal economy, the out of control national debt, and the Supreme Court were the major issues in this election. Instead, Trump wants to focus on the Iraq War and blaming Bush for 9/11. It’s weird. I wonder if he would be winning if this had been his focus 3 months ago.

Any paraticular reason why he’s now into wild conspiracy theories?

If he’s gonna go back in time and run against something that happened then, why is he objecting to Cruz going back to the Tim Russert interview?

There was a massive short interest in the market at the time of the sell off. Someone knew ahead of time and made a ton of money.

It probably came from overseas and couldn't be traced.

Of course he’s correct.

His name is Donald Trump, isn’t it?

Now if he says we didn’t really go to the moon are you on board with that also?

We know it’s the Saudis. We know it wasn’t the Iraqis.

Didn't we find a traing area there called Salmen Pak, or something like that?

There was a plane that was likely used as training for the hijackers?

It's been a while and the memory is a little foggy.

Not saying that Iraq was behind 9/11, but it was believed they facilitated the training.

Bush2, sworn into office January 20, 2001. Within a month, February 16, 2001 we were reading this: “United States airplanes attack Iraqi radar sites to enforce a “no-fly zone”. Bush calls the military action a “routine mission.”

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."

Common knowledge, at least to me.

Saudi's have been instrumental in the radical Wahhabist movement for decades.

IIRC, Ms Jaime Gorelick was on the 9/11 commission. An obvious conflict of responsibility since she was, as Deputy AG, responsible for erecting the ‘wall’ between the CIA and FBI before 9/11.

This bitch later went on to reap millions of dollars and bonuses as a head in Fannie Mae along with cohorts Franklin Raines and James Johnson at Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac, respectively, that ushered in the crushing debt, equity loss and indebtedness the taxpayer continues to be responsible for the aftermath of the mortgage debacle that ushered in Obama.

This sums up the most disturbing situation that has been allowed to have occurred in this country since WWII. No one seems to want to touch it—put the pieces together.

Maybe Trump will get to the bottom of it. There seems to be something that is eating away at him. He’s not letting on what it really is and only will when he has the authority to back up what he can do about it. Just my humble opinion.

Better yet, why isn't he focusing on Hillary's abysmal record as Secretary of State, mostly Benghazi?

Because this is still primary season and he's not competing against Hillary at this point.

“9/11 was never part of the justification for the War in Iraq. That war was all about controlling WMDs in order to prevent them from falling into the hands of terrorists.”

Well, Trump as been hanging with the people who were demanding bribes: you know, demonrats.

He just needs some better information.
