Donald Trump was repeatedly booed by the GOP presidential debate audience Saturday in South Carolina when he criticized former President George W. Bush for failing to keep America safe on Sept. 11, 2001.
"How did he keep us safe when the World Trade Center went down?" the party front-runner said to boos.
Rival Marco Rubio immediately cut in and cast blame on former President Clinton.
"The World Trade Center came down because Bill Clinton didn't kill Osama bin Laden when he had the chance to kill him," Rubio said, referncing the 1993 attack.
In an audio recording of Clinton from the day before the 2001 attacks that wasn't released until 2014, he admitted that he had the chance to kill bin Laden while in office but decided against the strike out of concern for hundreds of civilian casualties.
Trump responded to Rubio's barb by arguing that Bush had the chance to kill bin Laden as well and similarly decided against it.
The comments came minutes after Trump first brought up the 9/11 attacks in a barb with Bush's brother, White House hopeful Jeb Bush.

I am so sick of this crap.
There are many things I may or may not agree on about 911 and and Iraq. I respect those attitudes.
Among those:
The Iraq war should never have been fought. The Iraq war was mismanaged. There were no "real" WMDs found.
However there are other points I find disgusting. That's because You have become a leftard, moonbat, Pink Code, Cindy Sheehan worshiping moonbat.
Among those:
Bush lied, The attack was on Bush's watch (like he was a night watchman in an office building who fell asleep), Bush was in cahoots with the Juze, etc.
I know every fact about this issue and will only serve to embarrass you if you argue with it.
get a life, conspiratrds.

GWBush deserves all possible ridicule; perhaps it all started during his cocaine days before the National Guard? Moreover, every voter for that pompous ass needs ridicule, as well.
Don't tell us that you voted for him? Not once but twice?

every voter for that pompous ass
Do you even know what pompous means? Trump is far more pompous than George Dubya Bush.
Bush was actually much too humble for his own good.
Go sleep it off.

yeah ... I remember that, now. Thanks for bringing his humbleness up to the forum:

Mission accomplished was another display of childishness.

GWBush inherited 4Tr in debt from Bill Clinton. By the time GWBush "saved" America from Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, GWBush had placed America into an 8Tr debt.
No known WMD were found. Foreign intrigue is kinda "cool" when a derelict president can do anything he wants to destroy America, don't you think? Don't forget another of GWBush's greatest legacies: The Great Depression of 2008 that lasted four years.

The Bush Administration never requested a mission accomplished banner. In fact, his message in his speech was just the opposite.
And now your hero Obama has put us 18 trillion in debt. BTW, Reagan tripled the debt from Carter. So what's your point?
Go back to Code Pink, fag.
#18. To: no gnu taxes (#17)
Obama has put us 18 trillion in debt.
It seems 0bama has a Bush legacy he can stand on, as well ... double the federal government's debt in about eight years. The Replocrat back scratching continues.
