because we had good intelligence.
What acts were prevented? We'll never know.

As for catastrophic, the worst ( 9/11) happened in part because Bush ignored intelligence, failed to take preventative measures.

So, he's going to use the Kremlin and KGB intel instead...

like cheney did to lie america into attacking Iraq...so trump is flying again against reality

I Love how this clown throws out that the last ten years have been "catastrophic"....what? In what ways? Ok, that foolishness aside, he then says the intelligence gathering people have made such bad decisions....again, what? What bad decisions exactly...and my assumption is they "gather the intelligence" and it's then provided to the president and his/her staff to then make decisions on. In his efforts to constantly paint the picture that the world is a disaster he comes off as a complete and utter bozo. I can't stand this guy.

Now he is insulting the people who work in government intelligence. Why attack them? They are just gathering information. He is trying to imply that even the intelligence gatherers have a political agenda. I guess the only one we can trust is Trump right?

I thought - it was just that Bush was determined to attack Iraq and "stovepiped" intelligence was fed to senior officials.

As far as military intelligence gathering goes "the people that have been doing it for our country, I mean, look what’s happened over the last 10 years. … It’s been catastrophic. Very easy to use them, but I won't use them, because they’ve made such bad decisions.”

so what other options are there? This is such a stupid thing to say. Perhaps we'll have TRUMP Intelligence Gathers Inc coming soon to a country near you.....serving up Trump steaks and Trump wine while they read from Trump magazines.

Well, I don't think he likes to use any kind of intelligence.

BRILLIANT move Donald. Granted we know they blew it on Iraq, BUT it is not wise to be pissing on these people. These are not people you want to make enemies with. Especially when you are the subject of various investigations, like RAPE and FRAUD.

gather intelligence, 'nuff said.

Just to ask Sarah Palin. Think of all the money he will save when he fires the whole intelligence community.

and he watches "the shows"

I seem to remember a daily briefing in August 2001 that he ignored titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike US".
