The Donald would never have been in Iraq ā¦ except for on funded by $1.5 trillion in oil sales from the very fields Isis now controls lol
āI would have never been in Iraqā
Men who use a combination of toupee and comb-over rarely go where it is windy.
On 9/12 we had the entire world, minus al Qaida, on our side. Even Yasser Arafat. By not enlisting everybody in sight and asking their advice, and not planning anywhere near adequately the troop numbers needed (Rummy said 75,000 ought to be enough), and not caring about the political or religious complexities of the middles east we now have an epic mess on our hands. And all of the derp filled repub candidates over simplify an increasingly complex situation. Trump hasnāt the 1st clue what is driving extremism or why ISIS followers are so willing to chase the Caliphate fantasy. Heās a real estate āmogulā, not equipped to be POTUS.
He should have made the same observations about his business interests in Atlantic Cityā¦
" We had very bad intelligence". Bull shit. The Bush Cheney administration had good intelligence. They intentionally ignored the good intelligence to over throw a leader so US and Britain oil contractors could do business in Iraq. The other motive was a lucrative defense industry counting money.
Even a broken clockās right twice a day. Donald gives broken clocks a bad name.
Doocy asked Trumpā¦Hasselbeck later asked Trumpā¦Trump then referencedā¦Trump noted
I love this new comic page!
āI would never have been in Iraq.ā Yeah, and much less in a uniform.
āI would have never been in Iraqā Yes we know thay donald.You would have been with Rudy and Dick,cowering in a bunker
The only declared candidates on either side who have ALWAYS had the correct position on Iraq are Senators Sanders and Paul, period. The rest are all part of the problem.
Donald is full of it. I have no doubt in my mind that IF he were president when 911 occured he would have ran into Iraq just like Bush did. I say that because Trump always has to play tough guy and posesses an āIām right, to hell with factsā attitude; heās shown that time and time again over the years.
His claim of the intelligence is bullshit as well. Heād have listened to the right wing nutjobs and willingly followed to invade Iraq, just as he fell for the birther nonsense. And even when the truth was shown about Obamaās birthplace, he STILL would not acknowledge he was wrong. And he still has not told us what āshockingā details his so-called investigators found in Hawaii.
As for Paul being right on this; LOL. Paulās position shifts in the wind at any given moment. He says whatever he can to get accepted. I donāt think he would have not gone into Iraq either, particularly in light of his shapeshifting talk on drones and Syria.
all the wind or hot air is blowing between his ears
How has Senator Paulās position on Iraq shifted? I think you have him confused with Fmr. Senator and Use of Force Authorizer Hillary Clinton.
Paul would have not invaded Iraq.
Nope. It was indeed Rand that I was referring to.
As for what positions he has shifted - well he first claimed he was against intervention (with Israel too, but he shifted from that as well). He then called for us to destroy ISIS militarily. When he was called on it, he seemed hem and haw, claiming to have āmixed feelingsā on it.
Heās also very much against drones, except in the case of a liquor store hold-up. Then itās okay.
āHow much is it worth to them to be rid of the bloodthirsty dictatorship of Saddam Hussein and to have gained a democracy? In reality, thatās a priceless gift. When I say they should pay us back, Iām not even talking about cash out of their pockets. All Iām asking is that they give us, temporarily, a few flows of oilāenough to help pay us back and help take care of the tens of thousands of families and children whose brave loved ones died or were injured while securing Iraqi freedom. But does Iraq do that? No. In fact, theyāve made it clear they have no intention of ever doing so. Ever. The ingratitude of Iraqās leadership is breathtaking.ā

Even a blind chicken finds a grain of corn sometimes
Yes, Donald, we all know that you would have never been in Iraq. And Iraq would never want to be in you either, needledick. But if the Republican fucknut base starts screaming that anyone against the Iraq War is a bigger traitor than the Kenyan Muslim Socialist Dictator, The Donald will start tongue-bathing every Teabagger in the country.
I was going to go for a hair joke, but you beat me!
