    "What was the purpose of the whole thing? Hundreds and hundreds of young people killed. And what about the people coming back with no arms and no legs? Not to mention the other side. All those Iraqi kids who've been blown to pieces. And it turns out that all of the reasons for the war were blatantly wrong. All this for nothing!," Trump said.

    My take - Trump is the only candidate with the balls to call out the horrific war in Iraq that was 100% the result of Bush. Trump here showing sympathy for the thousands of innocents murdered by Bush's war.

    This is why I'm not turning on Trump. He's ticking off both the far right and far left. He needs to tone down on some issues and he is going to get independents.

    Trump is correct about the war in the Middle East.

    Saudi Arabia didn't have much of a military back then..

    Trump is a liar.. He had NOTHING to say about the Iraq war until 2004.

    Yeah, but in 2004 the support for the Iraq War was pretty solid as the country was still in "get em' back for 9/11" mentality. Trump went against the grain.

    Those of us who were opposed to the invasion of Iraq wrote hundreds of letters the winter of 2002.. Trump is a liar.. He didn't oppose the war.. What he said was that his stock would go thru the roof.

    Yes.. I am well aware of what Kuwait did.. and they didn't forgive Iraq's OPEC debt.. Saudi Arabia did.. and Saddam was NOT a threat to Saudi Arabia.. Cheney lied to king Fahd to get US troops into Saudi Arabia because otherwise they would have only been able to launch an attack from naval vessels in the Med. See "Cheney, King Fahd, Frontline on PBS".......

    so you're going to vote for Donald trump because he thinks it was wrong to invade Iraq
    I think if you check you will find most candidates think the invasion of Iraq was wrong

    Many of those that was in favor of it based on the intelligence presented prior to the invasion
    Now look back and say it was wrong

    But I hope you base your decision on who to vote for or one more than he was in favor or against an action taken by the president of the United States 14 years ago
    Why is it no one is saying they will vote for him the cause of his policies
