It’s no secret that Donald Trump is a vicious bastard. It’s no secret that his views have often been more aligned with liberals than with conservatives. But until tonight, I didn’t know that his stance on George W. Bush is more vicious than that which leftist politicians are willing publicly to take. Nor did I know that Trump once urged Nancy Pelosi to impeach President Bush.

 

In tonight’s debate, Trump claimed that the Bush administration knew in advance of the invasion of Iraq that Iraq did not possess weapons of mass destruction. This is a ludicrous assertion. No president would be stupid enough to invade a country based on the claim that it has WMD, knowing that the claim would be exposed as false by the invasion itself.

 

Thus, even leftist politician normally don’t level Trump’s allegation at President Bush. Whatever they may say in private, they have left this vicious claim to the “Bush lied, people died” protesters — i.e, to Code Pink and its ilk.

Last Night's GOP Debate: Lies and Liars

By James Arlandson

The main story for the night was anger and passion. Does this help or hurt the GOP's prospects in November?

 

Everyone seemed nervous, including the main moderator. His voice quavered. But the moderators were not the story, so we can move past them.

 

Everyone talked about Scalia's passing and how important this election is. Two branches of government are at stake.

 

With that appropriate opening, let's take them in alphabetical order.

 

Bush

 

He criticized Trump as having a wrongheaded foreign policy. Russia should not be an ally, and Assad should not remain in power. Bush does not get his foreign policy from TV, which Trump does.

 

Bush told Trump to stop attacking Bush's elderly mother. Trump leveled the charge that George W. did not keep America safe; look at 9/11, after all. Bush shot back that while Trump was building a reality TV show, his brother was building a security apparatus that kept us safe.

Code Pink Gives Trump “Pink Badge of Courage” for Bush-bashing

Cheney: Trump Sounds like a “Liberal Democrat”

Medea-Benjamin-Code-Pink-Blessed-Are-Pea

Following Trump’s eye-brow raising assertions that President Bush was not only responsible for 9/11 but purposefully and intentionally lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, he faced a barrage of criticism from the right.

 

Those on the right argued that he was not only wrong but that he sounded a bit too much like the “Bush lied, people died” sputterings of the fringe left (and of left-leaning “journalists” like Ron Fournier).

 

Indeed, Dick Cheney noted on Monday that Trump’s comments make him seem like a “liberal Democrat.” Scissors-32x32.png

An Iraq of Myth and Fantasy
Donald Trump’s account of the Iraq War is all wrong. Why aren’t his Republican opponents saying so?
Victor Davis Hanson
February 23, 2016

Donald Trump constantly brings up Iraq to remind voters that Jeb Bush supported his brother’s war, while Trump, alone of the Republican candidates, supposedly opposed it well before it started.

That is a flat-out lie. There is no evidence that Trump opposed the war before the March 20, 2003 invasion. Like most Americans, he supported the invasion and said just that very clearly in interviews. And like most Americans, Trump quickly turned on a once popular intervention — but only when the postwar occupation was beginning to cost too much in blood and treasure. Trump’s serial invocations of the war are good reminders of just how mythical Iraq has now become.

We need to recall a few facts. Bill Clinton bombed Iraq (Operation Desert Fox) on December 16 to 19, 1998, without prior congressional or U.N. approval. As Clinton put it at the time, our armed forces wanted “to attack Iraq’s nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors. Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the United States, and indeed the interests of people throughout the Middle East and around the world. Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas, or biological weapons.” At the time of Clinton’s warning about Iraq’s WMD capability, George W. Bush was a relatively obscure Texas governor.

From The Comments My Favorite

Because "Bush lied, thousands died" fits on a bumper sticker, which is what the American electorate's attention span can handle.

My least Favorite...thought there are many in the running

This article, from beginning to end, is pure rubbish revisionist history. The very fact that it is written and published in a prominent magazine of conservative thought, is testament to the classic definition of a conservative: He who learns nothing, and forgets nothing. And it is Exhibit A for why Republicans cannot be trusted with command of U.S. foreign policy again - for a long, long time.
