Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) (kind of) clarified whether he thought former President Bill Clinton was responsible for the terror attacks on Sept. 11.

Rubio said at the Republican debate that "the World Trade Center came down because Bill Clinton didn’t kill Osama bin Laden when he had the chance to kill him,” according to The Washington Post. NBC "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd asked him to clarify.

"Well, I believe that if Osama bin Laden had been killed, Al Qaeda as an organization would not have grown to the point where it could have conducted 9/11," Rubio said. "And my argument was, no, the responsibility of 9/11 falls on the fact that Al Qaeda was allowed to grow and prosper and the decision was not made to take out the leader when the chance existed to do so."

Clinton would have had to kill 200-300 including women and children to take bin Laden out

4. When Clinton had the chance to kill Bin Laden he would have taken out 100's of civilians as well.

Roboto is an idiot.

According to the 9/11 Commission Report, national security officials decided to forgo a missile strike on the region in December of 1998 out of concerns about collateral damage, including 200 to 300 civilian casualties. Some lower-level officials in the government thought that number was exaggerated and were angry when the Joint Chiefs of Staff advised the president against a strike.

“And I’m just saying, you know, if I were Osama bin Laden — he’s very smart guy, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about him — and I nearly got him once,” Clinton is heard saying. “I nearly got him. And I could have killed him, but I would have to destroy a little town called Kandahar in Afghanistan and kill 300 innocent women and children, and then I would have been no better than him. And so I didn’t do it.”

5. 9/11

Was caused by the same thing that will case the next 9/11 disasterous foreign policy enabled by a population that stays willfully ignorant of the same.

Right now what's happening in Yemen and Syria will probably result in many American civilian deaths. And frankly no one from either party has the guts or interest to discuss it. Neither does the media. The population as a whole chooses to ignore it as well.

That's the same shit that caused 9/11 and it's happening again.

6. These idiots always pretend 9/11 was some sort of genius-level, complicated plot.

All it took from Bin Laden was money.

And now, he is dead and we have ISIS. So clearly, bad things can happen without him.

7. Rubio

should be declared ineligible and his campaign suspended until he passes a Turing test.

11. And Obama is responsible

For the 2008 collapse....
