Giuliani Says Nation at War Requires Him
By MARC SANTORA
CHARLESTON, S.C., April 6 — As Rudolph W. Giuliani introduced himself to primary voters this week, he rarely talked about the details of New York’s darkest day.
But Sept. 11 was a constant backdrop, and as Mr. Giuliani promoted his vision of a forceful foreign policy that calls for the United States to continue slugging it out in Iraq, he let his audiences know that his was an outlook forged by fire.
“What they say in Washington is not going to affect the fact that there are terrorists around the world that are planning to come here and kill us,” he said in Iowa, in the most spirited part of his newly honed stump speech.
Pointing his finger and bouncing up and down on his toes, he declared, “It is something I understand better than anyone else running for president.”

At a house party in New Hampshire, Mr. Giuliani suggested that it was unclear which was farther along, Iran or North Korea, in the development of a nuclear weapons program.
Asked about his policy toward the North Koreans, he said he backed the administration’s approach, mentioning in particular a Chinese role in efforts to pressure them. “I think the strategy has produced enough results so far that you have to stick with it,” he said.
As for Iran, Mr. Giuliani said that “in the long term,” it might be “more dangerous than Iraq.”
He then casually lumped Iran with Al Qaeda. “Their movement has already displayed more aggressive tendencies by coming here and killing us,” he said.
Mr. Giuliani was asked in an interview to clarify that, inasmuch as Iran had no connection to the Sept. 11 attacks. Further, most of its people are Shiites, whereas Al Qaeda is an organization of Sunnis.
“They have a similar objective,” he replied, “in their anger at the modern world.”

Giuliani might actually be worse than Bush as pResident. (pRes because he could only "win" by cheating and stealing, like Bush) And it's embarrassing, and ugly, that he is using his "luck" at being in charge when 9/11occurred as his basis for being a (theoretically) popular choice for president. (of course, RepCons are likely to do anything, so, you never know....)
Luckily, he doesn't have a chance. Unfortunately because his name is too ethnic. I think we are YEARS away from having a U.S. president with an "ethnic name" like Giuliani, Obama, Tsongas, Dukakis, etc.
Most people won't even admit to something like this because "we are supposed to be better than that", but I think they are in denial and fooling themselves.
Just like I think people are fooling themselves if they think we are going to have a non-white male or female president in the near future. There's no way the American people are going to vote someone like that in right now.
And that is especially true until we have had a non-white male or female vice president FIRST. Then, maybe, later. Probably years later.
One of my paranoid fears is that "they" (RepCon scum, et al.) are going to steal the Democratic primary for Hillary so that whomever runs against her will have an "automatic win" on the RepCon side.

What is he AIPAC little italian lap dog
What is he AIPAC little italian lap dog, the only people that are promoting this war other then MSM which is controled are AIPAC AEI PNAC Israel Banks and most of the military industrial complex. When is the world going to wake up and take a stand against these criminals its a scam wake up. Iran is no threat, our own government is more of a threat to its own people then Iran would ever be to us
Iran, "it might be “more dangerous than Iraq.”
I may be mistaken, but to my knowledge, Iran hasn't attacked anyone in 200 years. Yes, they've fought others, notably Iraq, in defensive wars. Giuliani should be forced to clarify these statements beyond basic xenophobic sound bites. He is really a piece of work.
