Trump Wrote Iraq WMDs Were Threat Year Before Bush Took Office
Feb. 14, 2016, by Andrew Kaczynski

Trump’s old line about his opposing the Iraq War: “I’ll give you 25 different stories.” His new line after no one has found proof he actually opposed it: “I wasn’t a politician so people didn’t write everything I said.”

Wrote Trump:

Consider Iraq. After each pounding from U.S . warplanes, Iraq has dusted itself off and gone right back to work developing a nuclear arsenal. Six years of tough talk and U.S. fireworks in Baghdad have done little to slow Iraq’s crash program to become a nuclear power. They’ve got missiles capable of flying nine hundred kilometers—more than enough to reach Tel Aviv. They’ve got enriched uranium. All they need is the material for nuclear fission to complete the job, and, according to the Rumsfeld report, we don’t even know for sure if they’ve laid their hands on that yet. That’s what our last aerial assault on Iraq in 1999 was about. Saddam Hussein wouldn’t let UN weapons inspectors examine certain sites where that material might be stored. The result when our bombing was over? We still don’t know what Iraq is up to or whether it has the material to build nuclear weapons. I’m no warmonger. But the fact is, if we decide a strike against Iraq is necessary, it is madness not to carry the mission to its conclusion. When we don’t, we have the worst of all worlds: Iraq remains a threat, and now has more incentive than ever to attack us.

1. I'd assume this is from the same book that cites about his knowledge of Bin Laden

This was a big talking point of his a few months ago. HE knew about OBL before 9/11. Seriously, he thinks he was the only one.

2. That doesn't mean Bush didn't lie about WMD's

There is no argument that Iraq once had them. Just ask the Kurds.

3. Just because you believe a lie doesn't mean it is not a lie.

In fact, being taken-in by a lie usually makes a person even more angry once the lie is exposed.

Now, I never believed the Bush-Cheney lies about WMD in Iraq because I saw the reports from Hans Blix and the UN inspectors.

And that is something that is often forgotten, but we all knew before the U.S. attacked Iraq that is was all a fraud because Blix didn't find WMD programs or stockpiles before Bush ordered the invasion.

5. WMD was always an excuse

It was never about that. This documentary does a great job explaining that.

4. What Trump wrote was the position of the Clinton adminstration.

And pretty much anyone who cared about the subject at that time.

7. Doesn't make it right.

6. Bill Clinton was horrible for continuing to bomb Iraq even though they had no WMDs

The reason Bush was able to get away with war is because the Clinton administration laid out the groundwork.
