Father of U.S. war hero attacks Trump's comment at debate
Khizr Khan, the father of a decorated American soldier killed in Iraq, lashed out at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Tuesday for saying his son would still be alive if Trump had been president at the time.
"For this candidate to put his political expediency ahead of any realization of pain and suffering of the families is shameful," Khan said in an interview with CNN.
The New York businessman raised the name of U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan in a Sunday night presidential debate while criticizing Democratic rival Hillary Clinton for voting in favor of the 2003 invasion of Iraq when she was a U.S. senator.
"If I was president at that time he would be alive today," Trump said. Despite his assertion that he always opposed the war, Trump had expressed support for it in a 2002 interview.

Trump generated so much bull###t at the debate that it may take all week to point it all out.
