Trump: I could have caught bin Laden before 9/11
Donald Trump, who supported the Iraq war in spite of saying otherwise, claims he would have nailed Osama bin Laden “prior to the downing of the World Trade Center.”
“I would’ve been tougher on terrorism. Bin Laden would’ve been caught a long time ago, before he was ultimately caught, prior to the downing of the World Trade Center,” Trump said during an aside about his record on Iraq.
The GOP nominee went on to say that if he had been in Congress at the time, he would have cast a vote opposing the invasion.

Trump also claimed he gave statements “much closer” to the invasion of Iraq saying he was against the war. He said those statements “superseded” his earlier, much-cited interview with shock jock radio host Howard Stern, where Trump said he did support the invasion.
