Why does Trump get a pass from the media.

Isn't that better?? Most of the rest of the world doesn't try to play that game & it seems to work better.......

In this country we use to have thousands of papers w/ their own views now we have a handful of sources all saying the same BS..

2000, In his book, The America We Deserve,
"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.”

In 2000, Trump was not privy to the details of Iraq..Sounds like he too believed what Bill Clinton and other Dems were saying for the previous 5 years...I did too....and this is that Saddam was a threat to the US and had WMD.....

Are you for invading Iraq?] "Yeah, I guess so. I wish the first time it was done correctly."

In Oct. the War Resolution was passed....Trump don't sound very enthused about invading Iraq in that statement...he obviously wasn't totally on board..
Jan 28, 2003,
"Bush has either got to do something or not do something, perhaps, because perhaps shouldn’t be doing it yet and perhaps we should be waiting for the United Nations, you know. He`s under a lot of 
pressure. He`s - I think he`s doing a very good job."

Again Trump shows he still not quite on board with invading...wanting to wait for the UN to do something...so it seems to me was telling the truth....The resolution passed with bipartisan support...

Mar 19, 2003, Bush invaded Iraq

Mar 21, 2003,
"The Iraq invasion looks like a tremendous success from a military standpoint and I think Wall Street is really nothing compared to what you’re gonna see after the war is over."

The actual war was over in three weeks...Saddam was defeated and in hiding, his was machine putting up no resistance...it was the occupation that was screwed up from the beginning...

Jul 1, 2003,
"I think the president is doing a very good job. I would love to see New York City and some of the cities and some of the states get some of the money that`s going toward Iraq and other places."

"It wasn’t a mistake to fight terrorism and fight it hard, and I guess maybe if I had to do it, I would have fought terrorism but not necessarily Iraq."

"[Bush] is a very committed guy, he’s committed to that whole situation and I don’t think he will really reconsider. I don’t think he probably can at this point. Other people will, and you are going to find out at the polls whether or not those other people are right. I mean, you see more and more doves, if you call them doves. The question is whether or not we should have been in Iraq in the first place. I don’t think that this president can do anything about that. He is really — he is on a course that has to stay."

"Ultimately, over the next year, two years, 10 years and 20 years, [capturing Saddam] is just a great thing for the free world."

They do indeed. And they don't say what the Don is now claiming-

Feb 6, 2016, “In Iraq, I was the one that said, ‘Don’t go, don’t do it, you’re going to destabilize the Middle East.’” He never mentioned anything about destabilization prior to 2004. You can not possibly deny that he was lying.

He can, and he will.

Poor Blabo.

I hope Crooked Hillarys campaign follows your advice. You really should be running her campaign. She couldn't possibly lose with you at the helm.
 
Look, the OP claims that Trump is getting a pass for this. Not really, but his lies are so constant that this lie is simply getting lost in the wash of bullshit. Hillary voted for the Iraq war resolution. But Trump's running-mate sponsored it. Trump excuses Pense, yet excoriates Hillary for being in the vast majority that simply voted for it. Hillary regrets her vote. Pense does not regret his sponsorship.

Trump now claims that he was one of the few to be adamantly opposed to our invasion of Iraq, claiming that he warned us about the destabilization of the entire Middle East. I spent a fair amount of time today, documenting what a fucking pile of bullshit that current claim really is.

Brian Williams fell into public disgrace and lost his job over his false claims about his helicopter being under attack. Hillary was (and is still) shamed by her claims that she landed in Bosnia under sniper fire. Bill O'Reilly has repeatedly bragged about his experience as a war correspondent. "I was in a situation one time, in a war zone in Argentina, in the Falklands, where my photographer got run down and then hit his head and was bleeding from the ear on the concrete. And the army was chasing us. I had to make a decision. And I dragged him off, you know, but at the same time, I'm looking around and trying to do my job, but I figure I had to get this guy out of there because that was more important." Of course, we now know that O'Reilly wasn't even in the Falklands.

The point is, Trump lying about his pre-invasion Iraq stance is such a small part of his entire bullshit package, that if we can't even pin him down on one detail, how can we even begin to evaluate his principles?
 
Agreed, it makes no difference to his fans.. Prob half of them believe they saw him say it on the apprentice.:(

he is going to pull out of korea, germany, leave japan etc & then if the world is still here the gop will blame the next dem president for losing korea, germany, japan etc etc etc :blah:

Is that your indifference, or a distortion of Hillary's indifference to the questions? Really? Sit down, and don't try to play with the dogs. That quote, out of context, tells me alot about you. Yeah you want Hillary to say something like, "With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided that they’d they go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator." But she didn't say anything like that. She said exactly that. You fucking moron.

You have the temerity to pretend that Hillary was oblivious to those four deaths? Fuck you and the horse.

its called a quote, child......and it reflects the fact she is oblivious to personal responsibility.....is Hillary the horse?.....

what I wanted Hillary to say was "yes, I admit we lied to the American public about the attack in Benghazi, but hey, there was an election coming up. You didn't expect us to admit we were wrong about Al Queda being defeated, did you? Besides we never expected to get caught, who the fuck remembered you can't completely delete emails!"......
 
Oh, such a woeful child... the quote that you gave was a truncation of her actual statement, and a reflection of your intended distortion of her meaning. But, that is par for a five-year-old. Her actual quote is indicative of her feeling not only of 'personal responsibility' (what is up with Fox's infatuation of that phrase, which you so gleefully echo?), but her concern for the prevention of further violence. Your goal seems to not be about the protection of our representatives, but about accusations of treasonous behavior of our leaders. If you were truly concerned about the safety of our diplomats, you would be screaming about the failure of Republicans to properly fund embassy protection. But it is obviously not about that with you. It is about finding a scapegoat that is outside your realm of belief. Hillary does not share your views. And she warrants your disdain. When you graduate from fifth grade, let me know, I will attend with great disdain.

Hey, the horse is what you rode in on, take care of it. It is probably tired of your crap, too.

They only care if Hillary lies!
 
Hillary's Iraq vote by itself is small potatos. But then add in her chief advocate/architect role in the Libyan war.
Then add in her calling for arming the FSA in the Syrian Civil war.
Then add in her call still for "no fly" in Syria.
do you see the pattern?

The problem is the press has no interest in calling her out,
so all this talk about Iraq becomes meaningless without seeing the big picture.

Sounds to me like you are asking the American public to choose between treading in horseshit or bullshit!! Which do you prefer?
