Why are we allied with them in "spreading democracy" in Syria then? CJCRANE Feb 2016 #2

We're more than that EdwardBernays Feb 2016 #3

It's more than that. They are already funding Wahabbism all over the world with billions of petro-$ CJCRANE Feb 2016 #4

Trump, so reckless, so undiplomatic, so uncircumspect, so crude. bemildred Feb 2016 #8

Is that a bad thing? How come there are no Democrats saying this? CJCRANE Feb 2016 #9

The Democratic Party would not know what to do with itself without the Republicans as a scapegoat. bemildred Feb 2016 #11

He represents a view within the Pentagon that America's fighting men and women were misused CJCRANE Feb 2016 #14

There should be disquiet. bemildred Feb 2016 #15

Blah, blah, blah. nt Nitram Feb 2016 #16

well thought out reply tk2kewl Feb 2016 #19

Listening to or reading about what Trump says hurts my brain. Nitram Feb 2016 #48

i understand that, but every once in a while he spits out some real truth tk2kewl Feb 2016 #49

Yes, but it is a random and completely accidental truth. Nitram Feb 2016 #50

i hear the tainted argument, but i do not think trump or what he says is an accident tk2kewl Feb 2016 #51

He's only stating the obvious because many Republicans still believe Saddam Hussein was responsible YoungDemCA Feb 2016 #23

"Very secret" Most of the passports they supposedly found were Saudi. nt TBF Feb 2016 #24

What a buffoon matt819 Feb 2016 #29

Has any other candidate mentioned this? CJCRANE Feb 2016 #30

To be fair, no. matt819 Feb 2016 #31

Well, what's in the papers is supposed to be top secret CJCRANE Feb 2016 #33

True, that, but until now anyone who says it publicly has been tarred as a "truther". NT Jerry442 Feb 2016 #32

Not really. The national identity of the attackers was widely talked about. Truther is yellowcanine Feb 2016 #36

Not news to us on the progressive side . . . brush Feb 2016 #34

See Post #25 above about how questioners and "Peace Activists" were marginalized.. KoKo Feb 2016 #44

That's all well and good but I thought we were talking about Trump? brush Feb 2016 #45

Next he will discover the extended Bin Laden family left the U.S. on chartered flights! yellowcanine Feb 2016 #35

To be honest about Trump ...he probably had "Made Deals" with many Saudi's KoKo Feb 2016 #41
