Donald Trump Wanted George Bush Impeached for 'Lying' the U.S. into War with Iraq

"Bush got us into this horrible war with lies, by lying, by saying they had weapons of mass destruction, by saying all sorts of things that turned out not to be true," Trump told CNN's Wolf Blitzer in 2008.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump wanted to have the last U.S. Republican president, George W. Bush, impeached over his foreign policy decision to invade Iraq in 2003, the Daily Caller noted Monday.

In a 2008 interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Trump said he was surprised that the Democratic House speaker at the time, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, did not attempt to impeach Bush for invading Iraq and ousting Saddam Hussein.

"I was surprised that she didn't do more in terms of Bush and going after Bush," Trump said.

"It just seemed like she was going to really look to impeach Bush and get him out of office, which, personally, I think would have been a wonderful thing," he added.

Trump went on to explain that Bush should have "absolutely" been impeached because he "lied" about the war. "He got us into the war with lies," Trump said.

Besides DU and a couple of places online, it wasn't in the papers or on the television screen.
