Has any Democrat ever called out a GOP debate opponent re: Iraq and 9/11?

[phantom power]

I ask because Trump did. And I couldn't think of any Dem that ever did this. Kind of sad, really.

Then there was the moment when Trump criticized former president George W. Bush not only for Iraq, which he’s done before. He also went where no Republican has gone before:

TRUMP: George Bush made a mistake. We can make mistakes. But that one was a beauty. We should have never been in Iraq. We have destabilized the Middle East.

DICKERSON: But so I’m going to — so you still think he should be impeached?

BUSH: I think it’s my turn, isn’t it?

TRUMP: You do whatever you want. You call it whatever you want. I want to tell you. They lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction, there were none. And they knew there were none. There were no weapons of mass destruction.

...

But it’s intriguing that Trump went there at all. He pointed out that 9/11 happened on Bush’s watch, putting the lie to this mantra that “Bush kept us safe.” And he said that Bush and company lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Both of those ideas are articles of faith on the left, but nobody in GOP electoral politics has ever said such thing in public, much less in a nationally televised presidential debate. That he did it to Jeb Bush’s face is pretty astonishing.

1. Only Nixon could go to China

If a Democrat had done the same thing, they would be preaching to the choir on one side and would be butchered by the press on the other side.

2. Too many were to cowardly to vote against or speak against the IWR...

It was considered political suicide. They didn't want to end up like thge Dixie Chicks. At that point they neutered themselves as critics afterwards. Trump is not susceptible because he is working outside of the paradigm of politics as usual.

7. It didn't seem to hurt Bernie Sander's political career.

8. No it didn't...but he doesn't depend on MIC contributions...

While most other politicians of both parties do.

3. Hillary can't, obviously. She's forfeited this issue by her own complicity. Disqualifies her

to the be Democratic candidate.

4. Sure'd be good to do so in 2002, 2004, 2006...

It's officially Off Limits, telling the truth about 9-11: Bush Knew.

6. We'd see fireworks in a Sanders - Bush debate

Nothing from Hillary, of course, since she thought it was a great idea to go to war in Iraq.
