    That's right folks, in 2007 Trump said we should just "declare victory and leave" and let someone far worse than Saddam Hussein take over.


    THE SITUATION ROOM


    Attorney Firings Situation; Valerie Plame Testifies; Donald Trump Interview


    Aired March 16, 2007 - 19:00 ET


    BLITZER: How does the United States get out of this situation? Is there a way ...


    TRUMP: You know how they get out? They get out. That's how they get out. Declare victory and leave, because I'll tell you, this country is just going to get further bogged down. They're in a civil war over there, Wolf. There's nothing that we're going to be able to do with a civil war. They are in a major civil war.


    And it's going to go to Iran, and it's going to go to other countries. They are in the midst of a major civil war. And there's nothing -- by the way, we're keeping the lid on a little bit but date we leave anyway it's all going to blow up. And Saddam Hussein will be a nice person compared to the man and it will be a man, it will not a woman, that we understand. People say, oh, gee, you didn't give a woman a chance. It will be a man.


    Compared to the person that takes over for Saddam Hussein, he will be considered a nice person. This guy will be the meanest, the worst guy and he'll have one thing, one thing, he will hate America, and he'll use that to flame. So, I mean, this is a total catastrophe and you might as well get out now, because you just are wasting time.

    He was right in a lot of things here... We need that kind of foresight in the White House.

    Yes, in 2002 Trump was for the invasion of Iraq and in 2007 he was all for getting out.

    Being in favor of it and voting for it are quite different. Considering Hillary Clinton has been warmongering at every occasion possible.

    Operation Mass Appeal was designed to sell the war on Iraq even before Bush took office. Likewise the MI6 booze bombing (they got caught)........
