Trump Evades Further Questioning on 9/11 Happening Under Bush
This story has sparked a lively debate at Hot Air Headlines, and I thought readers here might enjoy it. The other day, The Donald made a big point of reminding us that 9/11 happened on George Bush’s watch. Now, reporters are predictably trying to keep the issue alive — and apparently, Mr. Tell-It-Like-It-Is is dodging the question:
Trump regularly speaks with reporters at campaign events and often takes multiple questions in an impromptu manner, making his silence Friday all the more noticeable.
When asked by CNN after a rally at a local high school here if he thought the attacks were George W. Bush’s fault, Trump, after pausing to listen to the question, walked away.
Minutes later, he again declined to say anything when asked to react to Bush’s response on Twitter, ignoring at least half a dozen questions on the matter before driving away in his motorcade. He did respond to questions about the crowd size at his campaign event Friday and why he was campaigning in Massachusetts.
Discuss.
Ding.
Patterico (fecd9b) — 10/17/2015 @ 12:47 pm“Trump knows he can beat Jeb and benefits from a divided establishment field. *Trump wants Jeb to stay in the race.* Jeb’s position is dour: mediocre fundraising, cutting costs and salaries, poor polling. There’s a real chance Jeb drops out after the debate… Trump is challenging Jeb’s honor and masculinity, goading him to stay in the race. Which is ultimately to Trump’s benefit.” – John Durant
scrutineer (b7d257) — 10/17/2015 @ 1:05 pmThe 9/11 attack did happen during GWB’s presidency, that’s an indisputable fact, and Bush acted appropriately in response, which is also indisputable. The real queston today is not who was in the Oval Office at the time of the attack, but who was in the Oval Office when the safeguards which would have prevented the attack were circumvented.
That President’s name is Bill Clinton, and the Deputy AG was Jamie Gorelach. She built the ‘firewall’ which prevented the investigative agency of the government from disclosing to the lawr enforcement agency of government that Islamic terrorists were already in the US and training to fly passenger jets into the Twin Towers.
Our intelligence services had conclusive advance warning which would have prevented the loss of 3000 American lives, but because of Bill Clinton’s corruption and Jamie Gorelach’s treachery the terrorists were allowed a free hand to murder Americans wholesale.
He’s the dirty bastard who set the atrocity in motion, and she’s the filthy murdering bitch who paved the road to hell.
ropelight (36e1be) — 10/17/2015 @ 1:18 pmHow about “taking seriously anything that comes out of Mr. Trump’s mouth as an indication of something specific he will do in office is about as clever as trying to design a moon rocket out of the random typing produced by a hundred stoned chimps in a room full of typewriters”? That’s been my mindset about Trump all along.

happyfeet (831175) — 10/17/2015 @ 1:24 pmIt’s disconcerting that this nation has to deal with both a Donald Trump and a Jeb Bush in 2016, and, at the same time, has an electorate I have so little faith in (because it may repeat its idiocy of 2008 and 2012) that garbage on the left like Hillary, etc, receive more serious consideration than they deserve.
Sad how it has come down to this in 21st century America.
Mark (f713e4) — 10/17/2015 @ 1:42 pmMegyn Kelly discussed this with Krauthammer last night, in his second appearance on her show, and he said that this whole thing was intentional on the part of Trump. It came across as a throw away line at the time, but it was carefully constructed to keep Trump as a focal point for media attention, while not being so outrageous as to require a retraction. As, we have seen, this tactic has the benefit that it sidetracks whatever narrative the other candidates are propounding.
It also has the benefit of reminding the American public that bad stuff has happened to us even when we are quietly minding our own business. Something that the progressives would rather forget.
Carrying this line of thought a bit further, if 9-11 was the response to a relatively passive U. S. presence in the middle east following 8 years of Clinton mismanagement, one custodian accidentally killed in a bombing of an Aspirin factory in the Sudan, then what should be considered as the likely response to 7 years of feckless mismanagement characterized by drone attacks and a substantially greater U. S. presence. Admittedly the administration’s effort have amounted to little more than sending our foreign service officers to their deaths, or equipping our only real ally in Iraq, the Kurds, with MREs and unarmored personnel carriers, but our bombing and drone attacks have killed many, which will not be forgotten. Proportionally, we should expect something much greater than 9-11.
BobStewartatHome (a52abe) — 10/17/2015 @ 1:49 pm…Bush acted appropriately in response, which is also indisputable.
The Afghanistan invasion was indisputably appropriate. The rest of the “war on terror” is questionable.

Iraq did have the weapons of mass destruction that we went there to remove. We did destroy what was left in Iraq and Iraq managed to ship others into Syria. There is so much that Bush just let people believe about Iraq, but the truth is no where near what the media has told the American people.
Freedom Costs (949a0b) — 10/17/2015 @ 2:48 pmscrutineer. The Iraq situation had turned out so well that Obama and Biden were saying, in 2010-2011, that it would be a significant achievement of THEIR administration. Then, according to dem/lib/left/prog plans, they threw away that for which men had died. If I had thought a dem wold be elected in time to throw it away, I would probably have opposed it.
Richard Aubrey (472a6f) — 10/17/2015 @ 3:02 pmThis was inartful. Think many people in retrospect wonder how Bush Jr. let the Saudis off the hook. And wonder why he was so hellbent on a war with Iraq.

Yes, Obama and Biden said ridiculous things to justify abandoning Iraq.
One principle of conservative governance is that any major policy which can’t survive management by the opposite party is doomed, and therefore a mistake. You need at least a rough consensus to make long term (multi-administration) plans work, and there was no such consensus for the U.S. to spend a decade+ nation-building in Iraq. Democrats predictably quit as soon as they could.

narciso (ee1f88) — 10/17/2015 @ 5:04 pmIn addition to Jamie Gorelach’s ‘firewalls’, there was Clinton’s handling of the first World Trade Center bombing as “lawfare” rather than warfare. By treating the enemy as criminal defendants rather than combatants, the enemy was able, through discovery, to determine exactly how we had penetrated their communication and they subsequently changed them to make it harder to eavesdrop on them in the future.
Mike (88372b) — 10/17/2015 @ 5:11 pmBush put in moronic rules of engagement. Either fight a war, blow them and their crap up, or don’t go. Rubble don’t cause trouble.

In that case you must overspend on the defense budget, so it can survive cutbacks by a future president and congress, and seek quick successes in military operations, even that’s not actually the wisest policy.
The Bush policy in Iraq actually continued through about 2011. His big mistake was assuming the only opposition would come from Saddam Hussein’s Ba’ath Party, and its remants and could only get weaker with time.
Sammy Finkelman (6c2cdd) — 10/17/2015 @ 6:20 pmIt kinda falls into the same “way out there” genre as his comment about McCain, i.e., “I like people who weren’t captured.” In each case Trump forces a close up encounter with a harsh reality. And PR-wise Trump has built-in cover, because to a large extent truth is a defense.
G Joubert (0399e8) — 10/17/2015 @ 6:40 pmIt wasn’t just the first bombing of The World Trade Center that Clinton failed to properly respond to, it was the Khobar Towers, the bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, the bombing of the USS Cole.
Then add to that the Bush v. Gore fiasco which had a VP –Al Gore challenging the vote of every serviceman serving overseas voting by absentee ballots in Florida wether they officers, or enlisted, black or white, female or male –Al Gore knew one thing –the US military was not voting Democrat.
The handing over of the Oval Office was done with such immaturity by The Clintons that they even removed the letter “W” from the computer keyboards , only God knows what else they did to hinder the next administration.
In an effort to facilitate the transition,Bush left a Democrat in control of the CIA, George Tenet –who advises him that finding WMD in Iraq will be a slam dunk. Well after Bush leaves office the NYT writes an article that there was WMD found in Iraq and that Bush decided not to tell people so that the Veterans Administration would not have to pay the healthcare bills of vets exposed to the WMD.
Then there is that nagging question–why would Sandy Burger risk prison and disgrace to smuggle out original first source materials? Burger had been appointed as Clinton’s representative to The 9/11 Commission and had access to documents alone for four months before the archive officers had the guts to confront him. During Sandy’s visits he was particularly interested in the materials from Joe Wilson’s office.
Danube River Guide (76b104) — 10/17/2015 @ 7:29 pmwell the materials was the afteraction report of the capture of Ahmed Ressam, the Millenium bomber, who intended to target Los Angeles, as at least two subsequent plots against the Library Tower, the notes to this document indicated the status of AQ operatives in this country,
re WMDs, even the BND, who had stewardship of curveball, the DGSE, who had contacts with the late Drumheller, and the still living Murray, who forwarded intelligence to Hillary, via Sid Blumenthal, and the Russian SVR, all believed such weapons were likely,

ropelight (923c8f) — 10/18/2015 @ 6:00 amTrump says his statement was in response to Jeb Bush’s claim that his brother “kept us safe.” Trump says that since he’s very tough on illegal immigration and on those who overstay visas there’s a good chance that if Trump was president the 9/11 perps might not have been in the country. 3000 Americans died and that can’t be used as an example of “keeping us safe.”
ropelight (923c8f) — 10/18/2015 @ 6:20 ambush’s instinct was to oppose the creation of the Department of Homeland Security
I kinda doubt this would’ve been a Mr. The Donald’s instinct if he had been president at the time
happyfeet (831175) — 10/18/2015 @ 6:23 amI would assume just the opposite. Trump wants to cut government spending. The creation of a new federal Departments is outrageously expensive and often so ineffective as to exacerbate the very problems they were designed to address.

Tony (ff2fe4) — 10/19/2015 @ 7:00 amI’m of two minds on Trumps ability to win should he be nominated.
On one hand I see him as a very easy target for Hillary. First of all it would be easy to get soccer moms to turn against him because of his history of insulting women, especially if he went after Hillary in an aggressive way. Second, they’d do a Romney on him and go over his business record with a fine toothed comb and pass anything negative they find to their many media friends to amplify (and they wouldn’t necessarily need to distort anything, unlike with Romney). Third, they’d portray him as a double talker who lacks credibility and hasn’t given a lot of thought to the issues, which would have the benefit of being accurate.
His two main strengths are his willingness to be blunt and not allow himself to be a punching bag, and he isn’t a typical Republican, which could attract some voters who don’t like Republicans.
Whether his strengths would ultimately outweigh his weaknesses is unclear but I’m leaning to him ultimately falling apart in the face of the Democrat/media onslaught.

narciso (ee1f88) — 10/19/2015 @ 8:34 amAnother potentially huge problem for Trump in the general is that many conservatives who focus on the social issues might abandon him. They might be willing to overlook his lack of socially conservative instincts if they thought he’d nominate strict constructionist judges, but I don’t see any evidence that he wants to do that – if anything just the opposite. I don’t perceive that he has any interest whatsoever in returning the nation to constitutional principles. In fact I don’t know that I would end up voting for him, in large part for that reason.

Milhouse (8489b1) — 10/19/2015 @ 9:00 amWe know that, but does he? His instinct as a businessman rather than a politician would be to centralize control of security.

If Trump has a bone to pick about 9/11, he might want to talk about how al Qaeda was treated with kid gloves throughout the ’90s and how the White House repeatedly failed to do anything substantial (including passing up numerous chances to get Bin Laden). Hmm, now, who was president during that particular time period? Why, yes, it was Bill Clinton, a close personal friend of… Donald Trump. Gee, what a coincidence that a guy who out RINO’s Jeb wouldn’t want to say anything critical of his buddies, the Clintons. Ah, but that must prove Trump’s the biggest conservative in the race… just like his lifelong support for Democratic candidates and causes, his unwavering support for single payer, his insults towards POWs, his thin-skinned whining about being asked tough questions, and his flip flops on immigration.
