Did you hear Donald Trump talking about Iraq on Imus?

[Neil Lisst]

This morning, Imus was talking to Donald Trump. Now, I'm not a Trump fan, and generally think he's full of it, but that gives him all the more cred on this point.

He said he has a friend who is very familiar with the situation in Baghdad, and has been there a great deal recently. He told Trump that it didn't matter if we stay one more month or ten more years, the result will be the same: as soon as we pull out, all hell breaks loose.

Trump has joined the Murtha side, and that gives cover for all the business types who don't normally split with Bush.

1. From things I've read about

Trump in the last year or two I figured he would have something like this to say. I imagine he's a realist which is so much more than the bush/cheney gang regime.

And "All Hell Breaks Loose" seems to be the order of the day in Iraq.

2. He's been on before saying he was a ...

repub. I can't stand the big, fat bag of flatulence, but he atleast deserves some credit for finally listening to someone that's actually been there and then changing his mind about the war.

5. I can't stand Trump, either, but at least he speaks the truth on this.

He is a windbag, though.

3. I think Trump though invading Iraq was bad from day 1

he likes the tax cuts but never liked the neocon agenda

4. We should all be angry that Bush has placed the nation in this position.

Damened if we do, damned if we don't. It didn't have to happen. Thanks to the pursuation of the neocons and Bush's own delusions of grandeur, the US is in an untennable position. Bush was warned before he decided to invade and now we are in a mess.

6. Yeah. He's like the guy who starts the fight, and we have to get

involved, even though we think he has the beating coming.

7. He's right on this. Watch him run for President.

It's the next logical egotistical pursuit for him. And given the public's level of discontent with both parties, he might make some noise.

Presumably he would draw votes from the middle, opening the door for a real liberal or a real conservative to win.

[Neil Lisst]

8. I think you're right. He wants to run.

But I don't think he'll get nominated.

He's really too annoying to get support. Does this guy ever listen to anyone else?

[Strawman]

9. He doesn't need a party to nominate him

He's rich. He'll run as an independent or start a party or hijack the Reform party if that is useful in getting on the ballot. The independence from the parties would be the appeal.
