Full article:

LOS ANGELES (July 14) - Billionaire Donald Trump, famous for telling contestants "You're Fired" on his hit show "The Apprentice,"' is not happy with the Bush Administration's handling of the Iraq war.

In an interview for the August edition of Esquire Magazine to be published on Friday, the magazine says he makes it clear the administration would never keep a job with him.

"Look at the war in Iraq and the mess that we're in. I would never have handled it that way. Does anybody really believe that Iraq is going to be a wonderful democracy where people are going to run down to the voting box and gently put in their ballot and the winner is happily going to step up to lead the country?," Trump said.

"C'mon. Two minutes after we leave, there's going to be a revolution, and the meanest, toughest, smartest, most vicious guy will take over. And he'll have weapons of mass destruction, which Saddam didn't have," Trump said in excerpts of the interview released in advance to Reuters.

"The Apprentice" was one of NBC's biggest hits last season.

"What was the purpose of the whole thing? Hundreds and hundreds of young people killed. And what about the people coming back with no arms and no legs? Not to mention the other side. All those Iraqi kids who've been blown to pieces. And it turns out that all of the reasons for the war were blatantly wrong. All this for nothing!," Trump said.

Trump also proclaims he would be "tougher" on terrorism.

"Bin Laden would have been caught long ago. Tell me, how is it possible that we can't find a guy who's six-foot-six and supposedly needs a dialysis machine? Can you explain that one to me? We have all our energies focused on one place, where they shouldn't be focused," he said.

4. I think he is absolutely correct.

After the collapse of the puppet regime, after we declare peach with honor and flee, the NEXT Iraqi ruling junta will be making damned sure it will be far too costly for the US to ever invade them again. This has taught them a serious lesson. The only way to keep the US out is to set the grounds for mutually assured destruction.

and maybe they will get to control some of their oil.

I hope the profits coming out of the war were WORTH the damnation it will bring on their heads of the American companies and individuals that made money here.

From Trump to Chimp: "YOU'RE FIRED. You can pack up your goods and hit the street.

Time to crawl back to Crawlford. - and hide under a rock.

6. Imagine we would screw up on our job like Bush on his.
My boss would fire my a** in a heart beat.

He is in charge for almost 4 years now. He failed to address important issues, let one mishap after another happen, invaded another country for no reason, and increased the deficit...(there are too many things to list). And now he is blaming everyone else: CIA, FBI, Clinton, the liberal media... GIVE ME A BREAK!
