Discussion: Trump Campaign Swings At Clinton For Accusing Trump Of 'Treason'

If American troops were still stationed in Iraq Trump would be asking why are they are still there.Or he would be complaining why are they not taking their oil. His head must spin like Linda Blair in the Exorcist.

I’m very concerned that Trump knew so much about this attack before the media and authorities did.
I’m not saying that he planned the terrorist attack.
But a lot of people are saying this, and I am very suspicious.

Hillary accurately described Trumps behavior, and Trump himself recognized that his own behavior matched the definition of treason to America. So Trump recognizes that he is a traitor to America, but as a narcissistic sociopath he has to blame someone else for his own failings.

How could the GOP inflict Trump on America?

This is one of my pet peeves. Any idiot, including most news readers, can go back to newspapers from 2008 before Obama was even President and see detailed coverage of the Status of Forces Agreement. That was a George Bush Production, as was the start of the war. George Bush is responsible for the American troops going into Iraq and he’s responsible for American Troops leaving Iraq. Period.

Again…I ‘wonder’ at how the Trump campaign and their supporters run towards being called ‘deplorables’ and committing ‘treason’ as if the shoe fits. After years of accusing everyone ELSE of ‘bad acts’ their feelings are hurt?

You are incorrect. i read recently that Clinton wanted to keep troops in, but was overruled by Obama. On another day, this would be used by her enemies to accuse her of being a hawk. However, it is impossible to know if residual troops would have stemmed the rise of ISIS.

Another swing and a miss by Comrade Trump. Here is the full definition, according to the constitution:
“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies,
giving them Aid and Comfort.”

Clinton didn’t imply that he was adhering to our enemies. She only pointed out that his dangerous rhetoric was fanning the flames of terrorists, which is absolutely true.

Except the vacuum can be traced back to 2003 when Paul Bremer decided to “de-Baathify” the Iraqi civil and military services, leaving hundreds of thousands of Sunnis formerly loyal to Saddam Hussein without a job. Shortly after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi set up the forerunner to today’s Islamic State.

A good example of the influence Clinton exercised over the Dubya maladministration.

So did Pooty Poot tell you to say this, HO? Just exactly what did Putin tell you to say?

Who’s the traitor - a former Sec. of State whose decisions you might not agree with but were made to do the right thing for America, or: a bombastic orange fascist who gets all his information about his own country from one of the world’s most malicious dictators?

Miller: The decision to remove all American troops from Iraq in 2011, which was vigorously supported by Clinton, created the vacuum that led to the founding of ISIS.

Actually ISIS was founded in 1999 by Abu Musab al Zarkawi. It started using the name “Islamic State” in October, 2006.

The Syrian Civil War began as a rebellion against the regime of Bashir Assad. This is an internal Syrian matter that had nothing to do with the withdrawal of American troops in neighboring Iraq.

Unless US ground forces were to actually deploy to Syria, something that Trump is not advocating now, their mere presence in Iraq would not have prevented the Syrian Civil War.

What does her desire have to do with her adherence to a negotiated agreement? Are you suggesting she would have violated the SOF agreement were it her decision?

Hillary Clinton had no power to influence the Status of Forces Agreement in 2008.

Actually the Iraqis did not want US troops in their country. They would not sign a modified SOFA.

Pardon me Mr Fraudulent Candidate, but it was you who mused several times about “Gee what if we disarmed Hillary’s guards?..What would happen?”, and also about “Second amendment solutions.”
These comments about somebody shooting your opponent are against the law. You should by rights be in jail right now.
Should I bring up your bragging about standing in 5th ave and shooting someone and not losing voters?

Swings–and misses.

It is true that ISIS has used him in propaganda videos.

And she is trying to prevent 2.5 billion Muslims from really deciding to go after the US of A.

And remind us, who was that sitting president?
