Donald Trump says he doesnt flat out blame former president George W. Bush that the September 11 terror attacks happened on his watch. “Not boning up on the issues, not having a broad sense of the responsibilities of what it is to be a president”, Bush said.

You always have to look to the person at the top, Trump said Saturday in a telephone interview. Do I blame George Bush?
“My brother responded to a crisis, and he did it as you would hope a president would do”.
During an interview with Fox News earlier this month, Trump called George Bush’s presidency a “disaster”, and on CNN this week, he said the US made a “terrible mistake” invading Afghanistan in 2001, agreeing with President Obama’s recently reported decision to keep a portion of USA forces in the country.
“I don’t think Trump is going to win the nomination”. If Im president, I want to have my three most important agencies talking to each other and coordinating with each other.
Trump even suggested that CIA Director George Tenet “knew in advance that there was going to be an attack”, despite intelligence reports showing that he didn’t know when or how those attacks would unfold, or how reliable the information was. I’m not blaming anybody. But its possible, he continued, that had the administration had stronger policy on those points, perhaps something could have been done that was obviously better than the worst attack ever perpetrated on the United States.
Jeb Bush, who has borne the brunt of Trump’s bullying during the Republican debates thus far, defended his older brother on Twitter. “Well, the World Trade Center just fell down”. “We were attacked and my brother kept us safe”.
“I would be surprised if he blamed him for it”, Carson said during an appearance near D.C. Friday.
Donald Trump continues to lead the Republican presidential field in Florida, but is losing his edge in the key battleground state.
Well, I think apparently they’re anxious about answering questions for three hours.
