Donald Trump: I would have prevented 9/11

Daschle also criticized Bush extensively on the administration's plans for developing and deploying a nationwide defense against long-range missiles. The White House has yet to persuade Moscow to scrap or amend the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty that prohibits such defenses. On its current schedule, the Pentagon is due to come in conflict with legal restrictions in a matter of months. In the spring, for example, the Pentagon may start construction at Fort Greely, Alaska, of underground silos for missile interceptors.

"Democrats support mutually agreed-upon modifications to the ABM treaty and a robust national missile defense testing program," Daschle said. "Under the right circumstances, we could support deployment of a limited national missile defense."

But he said administration was planning "the most expensive possible response to the least likely threat we face."

He added, "The chief threats today come from biological and chemical weapons and bombs that could be smuggled in a cargo container, bus or backpack."

Bush's budget, Daschle said, calls for a 57% increase in spending on missile defense this year, and other large increases in future years, far above the overall 10% increase targeted for the Pentagon. The result would be to "cannibalize the personnel and force structure that deal with the threats we are more likely to face."

He said holding the first year's increase for missile defense to 10%, for example, would make $2.5 billion available for a variety of defense and national security programs. They include a restoration of funds for the program to help Russia destroy its nuclear weapons, increased funding for development of cruise missile defense, and a greater emphasis on counterterrorism and cyber-terrorism.

It would also allow a greater effort on "developing and deploying theater missile defenses, which will be needed tomorrow to protect our soldiers if we are thrust into another Gulf-like war," he said.

Trump said.... "...I don't want Jeb Bush to say, 'My brother kept us safe,' because September 11 was one of the worst days in the history of this country."

In one of his more rambling propaganda cut-and-pastes (posted here time and again for many years now), semi-demented poster Markle weaves a yarn that tries to blame former President Bill Clinton for the 9/11 attacks. And here, Donald Trump, the leading Republican presidential candidate for 2016, seems to squarely place the blame for 9/11 on George W. Bush....

One of those two (Trump or Markle) has to be full of doodoo.... Which one?

Yes, Jamie Gorelick.... A very low-level Clinton administration appointee, who had very little real power and who was out of the government by 1997.... I will tell ya, certain wingnuts have strange obsessions and some will go any extent to make sure no dirt sticks to Dumbya and any of his crew concerning 9/11. How laughable that really is!

It is refreshing to see Donald Trump go where no Republican has ever gone before...

To leftist propaganda? Bush's mistakes and judgement errors largely took place after 9/11.

President Bush kept us safe after the 9/11 attack. Something semi-retired President Obama cannot say.

President Bush turned a peaceful, democratically led Iraq to President Obama is struggling to turn over a Middle East in chaos and on fire to anyone else before it gets far worse.

Ah yes... the patriot act. Easily one of the largest intrusive unconstitutional govt controls ever enacted in this country. Similar to the logic behind gun controls that infringes on the law abiding to protect us from the boogieman. Congrats comrade.
