Trump exposing Bush family’s role in 9/11

US Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump continues to expose the Bush family’s role in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

On a heated exchange between Bush and Trump during the ninth Republican presidential debate on Saturday night Trump blamed Jeb’s brother, former US President George W. Bush, for the collapse of the World Trade Center and the death of 3,000 Americans in New York on September 11, 2001.

The World Trade Center came down during your brother’s reign, remember that.

I am sick and tired of him [Trump] going after my family.

At least on behalf of me and my family, I thank God all the time it was George W. Bush in the White House on 9/11 and not Al Gore. And you can — I think you can look back in hindsight and say a couple of things, but he kept us safe.

How did he keep us safe when the World Trade Center - excuse me - I lost hundreds of friends. The World Trade Center came down during the reign of George Bush. He kept us safe? That is not safe. That is not safe, Marco. That is not safe.

Trump faults the former president for launching a war with Iraq:

I am not blaming [President Bush], although... the CIA said there was a lot of information that something like that was going to happen. I’m not blaming anybody. It’s a tragedy.

The war was a disaster. No, not to be impeached, but... it was a mistake.

9/11 was worse than Pearl Harbor because you're talking about civilians. Now, could he [Bush] have done something about it? His CIA knew about things happening... but when Jeb gets up and says, we were safe under his brother, we weren't safe.

I'm not blaming anybody for saying there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, which turned out to be false. I'm just saying he [Bush] went in there, he thought there were weapons of mass destruction, maybe or maybe he didn't. If he knew that there weren't weapons of mass destruction and if he used that as an excuse to go in and try to make up for some sins for previous years then it would be a lie.

Bush's decision to push for the war in Iraq was a disaster that may lead to the destruction of Europe because of migrants fleeing the region.

We would have been so much better off if Bush and the rest of them went to the beach and didn't do anything. If you had Saddam Hussein, he was a bad guy and all of that, but he made a living off killing terrorists. Now if you want to become a terrorist you go to Iraq. That's like the Harvard of terrorism.

Yes! A big fat mistake!

Obviously the war in Iraq is a big fat mistake. George Bush made a mistake. We all make mistakes. But that one was a beauty... They lied! They said there were weapons of mass destruction. And there were none.

I do not know about you but I sure hope that Trumps behavior yesterday takes away votes and gives them Marco or Ted. Trump seemed very angry yesterday and just plain attacked Jeb Bush and even his brother. Trump blamed 911 on George W. Bush which was completely uncalled for. Trump also publicly called Ted a liar multiple times. Although he may lead in the polls the voters have not yet voted. What say you?
