It was weird that an angry Code Pink-style protester interrupted last night\u2019s Republican presidential debate with a barrage of familiar Democratic talking points about George W. Bush\u2014that he lied the country into a disastrous war in Iraq, failed to prevent the September 11 attacks, and even whiffed on an opportunity to kill Osama bin Laden. It was especially weird that the protestor was one Donald J. Trump, who happens to be the front-runner for the Republican nomination.
\nTrump didn\u2019t just call the Iraq war a mistake. He called it \u201ca big fat mistake.\u201d And he didn’t call it an inadvertent mistake because of faulty intelligence. \u201cThey lied!\u201d he thundered. \u201cThey said there were weapons of mass destruction \u2026 and they knew there were none.\u201d Trump even groused that the war cost $5 trillion that could have helped rebuild America\u2019s crumbling infrastructure, a common Democratic attack line that sounded like a canine talking point at a feline convention, especially in military-heavy South Carolina. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
