Ghouliani's disputed record on 9/11 is all he's got, |

This guy wrote a book called "Leadership"?
You're going to be hearing a lot of debate -- as you should -- between
now and January over Rudy Giuliani's leadership (or "leadership") on
and immediately after 9/11.

His entire candidacy seems based on that, and while he did seem
slightly Churchillian in comparison to Bush for those first couple of
days,

there are also legitimate questions about how well, or poorly, he
prepared NYC for the second Trade Center attack.

Rudy's disputed record on 9/11 is all he's got, because whenever the
White House wannabe opens his mouth about foreign policy, it's clear
the guy doesn't have a freakin' clue what he's talking about.
A few months back, for example, he suggested that his success in using
crime stats to police New York drug corners could be translated to
Baghdad.

Now, after reading this interview he gave today to the New York Times,
how could anyone ever mention "Churchill" and "Giuliani" in the same
sentence again:

“Neither one of these two wars – the one in Afghanstan/Pakistan or the
one in Iraq – was nearly at the level of the planning we had done for
the two wars we would have to fight at once,” he said.
“Both of them would be considered small wars in comparison to that. So
it would seem to me that we should have organized ourselves so that we
could accomplish in Iraq what we had to accomplish without taking
anything away from accomplishing in Afghanistan and Pakistan what we
had to accomplish.”
First of all...we fought a war in Pakistan?!
How did I manage to miss that.
Maybe it was the week that the Eagles were in the Super Bowl, since I
don't remember reading about it in my newspaper.
If Giuliani were president when he made an offhand comment like that,
it could spark the proverbial "international incident."
Beyond that, does anyone understand what he's trying to say here?
It's clear that Giuliani wants to "accomplish" something somewhere
that wasn't "accomplished," although I'm now sure what or where or,
most importantly, how.
It sounds like he's trying to sound like he's criticizing Bush without
saying anything that could be later read by anyone as, you know,
critical.
Does America really want this guy anywhere near the finger on the
button?
That war with Pakistan could be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
He also said some wretched stuff about wiretapping and presidential
power, but you probably already knew that about him.
