Trump: I Would've Captured Osama Bin Laden Before 9/11 Attacks

[DonViejo]

Source: Talking Points Memo

In a 15-minute effort to set the “terribly dishonest” media straight before a speech on school choice in Cleveland, Donald Trump claimed that with him at the helm, Osama bin Laden would've been captured even before the Sept, 11, 2001 terror attacks.

“I would’ve been tougher on terrorism. Bin Laden would’ve been caught a long time ago, before he was ultimately caught, prior to the downing of the World Trade Center,” Trump said during an aside about his record on Iraq.

The GOP nominee went on to say that if he had been in Congress at the time, he would have cast a vote opposing the invasion.

Trump also claimed he gave statements “much closer” to the invasion of Iraq saying he was against the war. He said those statements “superseded” his earlier, much-cited interview with shock jock radio host Howard Stern, where Trump said he did support the invasion.

13. No matter what he says his followers respond with comments like this:

We tend to forget Trump’s clarity and leadership have a large capacity to create converts in the press or at least to demand fair reporting. Trump has turned the corner and you will begin to see people in media concluding that the man does, in fact, have the kind of intelligence and decisiveness that America has been craving since Reagan. The globalist fascist financier oligarch ideologues and their lackeys in the mainstream press, the ones incapable of learning, are going to look like 4th of July fireworks when their heads begin to explode. Popcorn, more popcorn...

14. Near the beginning of the campaign he talked a lot about his 2001 book

He had to point out that it was written BEFORE 9/11. In the book he apparently mentions that OBL was a bad guy. He had that could of vision, that kind of intelligence.



As if no one else in the world was aware of OBL being a bad guy. Much like how he and only he has a plan to defeat ISIS.

I think that's what he is basing this time traveling super dude fantasy on.

[Daemonaquila]

I'm sure the moron will next claim that he would've made sure the FBI got Jeffrey Dahmer before he started his killing spree.

Draft dodger. He should just keep his mouth shut for a while.

27. Donald Trump is the anti-matter politician

He has zero truth in any of the claims he makes, he never retracts or corrects his errors, the media NEVER call him to the carpet on ANY of it and he obliterated 16 GOP challengers...

Just as anti-matter annihilates matter when the collide so does truth when it contacts a Trump statement.

33. Also said at beginning of war "in August 2004" he was against

Came out in a magazine, I think he said Esquire.

The war began in 2002 so he was no doubt for it before he was against it (if 2004 date is even true, he's such a big liar).

[MADem]

34. Oh yeah? Did Osama visit the apartment Donald rented to his brother?
