Trump recently was blasted for stating:
Donald Trump says he's not blaming George W. Bush for 9/11, but he claims that if he'd been president, the attacks never would have happened.
In an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," the real estate mogul said that since he's "extremely, extremely tough on immigration" the attackers wouldn't have been in position to commandeer U.S. flights.
"So there's a good chance that those people would not have been in our country," Trump said.
He took another shot at Jeb Bush for claiming that Bush's brother, the 43rd president, kept the nation safe.
"I'm not blaming George Bush," Trump said. "But 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."
And while I support almost all Trump comments and his election, I think Trump is wrong on GWB and more so on Trump opposing the Liberation of Iraq.
I would ask Trump wasn't FDR president during Pearl Harbor and it's been said FDR KNEW in Jan 1941 there was a pending attack!
A good case can be made that the US government knew of Japan's plans, or should have. There were certainly indications.
On January 27, 1941, the Peruvian envoy in Tokyo told the third secretary in the US embassy that he had learnt from intelligence sources that the Japanese had a war plan which involved an attack on Pearl Harbor. On 10 July, the US military attaché in Tokyo reported that the Japanese Navy were secretly practicing airborne torpedoattacks on targets moored in Ariake Bay-a bay that resembles Pearl Harbor. The US military attaché in Mexico also reported that the Japanese were building midget submarines which would be towed to Hawaii for an attack on Pearl Harbor.
A top British agent, codenamed 'Tricycle,' told the FBI that the Japanese planned to attack Pearl Harbor, but his information was dismissed. And a Korean agent told American broadcaster Eric Severeid that the Japanese were going to attack Pearl Harbor. The agent repeated his story to a US Senator who alerted the State Department, US Army and Navy intelligence, and President Roosevelt personally.
American intelligence had broken all the Japanese codes. On 24 September 1941, a message from Japanese Naval Intelligence headquarters in Tokyo to the Japanese consul general in Honolulu was deciphered. It requested the exact locations of all US Navy ships in Pearl Harbor. Such detailed information would only be required if the Japanese were planning an attack on the ships at their moorings. In November, another message was intercepted ordering more drills involving attacks on capital ships at anchor in preparation to 'ambush and completely destroy the US enemy.' The only American fleet within reach was at Pearl Harbor.
On 25 November, a radio message from Admiral Yamamoto ( Yamamoto, Isoruko) ordering the Japanese task force to attack the US fleet in Hawaii was intercepted. US Intelligence was understaffed and it is not known whether this message was decoded at the time. However, that same day, the US Secretary of War, Henry Stimson, noted in his diary:
Essential Pearl Harbor
So to Trump a converted from Democrat to GOP I ask him shouldn't FDR be clearly identified as he
did GWB?
Further I'd ask Trump was he opposed to Liberation of Europe, i.e. WWII?
I'd also ask Trump if he'd heard of the 1991 Cease Fire?
Finally I'd truly want to know if Trump had any inkling of the irresponsible statements made by Democrats that added to the death toll in Iraq of both soldiers and Iraqis?
Statements that Harvard study showed prolonged the terrorists giving them credibility when our politicians called our troops Terrorists. Said our troops killed civilians. That our troops were cold blooded killers.
These statements according to the Harvard study shows they helped the terrorists.
This Harvard showed : THE "EMBOLDENMENT EFFECT" asked:
"Are insurgents in Iraq emboldened by voices in the news media expressing dissent or calling for troop withdrawals from Iraq?
The short answer is YES!!!
