GIULIANI'S REAL ROLE IN 9/11

The idea of Giuliani campaigning by stressing his role in 9/11 boggles the mind. Giuliani's role in the 9/11 tragedy should disqualify him from public office-- if not from his freedom to walk around among people. Giuliani didn't plot with the terrorists; but his incompetence and self-serving and greedy, selfish politics caused as much damage, as if he did. Watch the video... and then do what Digby says and go sign the petition:



More reasons why Rudy should never be allowed anywhere near the White House. And Newsweek has some too:

Neocons can't help but slink around Washington, D.C. The Iraq War has given the neoconservatives-- who favor the assertive use of American power abroad to spread American values-- something of a bad name, and several of the Republican candidates seem less than eager to hire them as advisers. But Rudy Giuliani apparently never got that memo. One of the top foreign-policy consultants to the leading GOP candidate is Norman Podhoretz, a founding father of the neocon movement.
 
Podhoretz is in favor of bombing Iran because of the country's unwillingness to suspend its uranium-enrichment program. He also believes America is engaged in a "world war" with "Islamofascism" and that Giuliani is the only man who can win it.

These people will never stop until we're all broke and then dead. Podhoretz belongs in prison or a mental institution with the rest of the Neocons.


UPDATE: EVEN OLD MAN THOMPSON KICKS GIULIANI FROM BEHIND

Frederick of Hollywood appeared from his hidey-hole yesterday, popped up in NYC, at his best-attended rally yet, to say Giuliani isn't a real conservative and then disappeared again.

“I am the consistent conservative,” Mr. Thompson said to several dozen people at a gathering of the New York Conservative Party with former Senator Alfonse M. D’Amato at his side. “I was a conservative yesterday. I am a conservative today, and I will be a conservative tomorrow.”

As usual he refused to answer any questions but he showed up on the right-wing propaganda station, Fox, to attack Giuliani some more.

“I don’t think that the mayor has ever claimed to be a conservative. He sought and received the Liberal Party nomination.”

He traced Mr. Giuliani’s often hostile history with prominent New York Republicans, starting with his decision in 1994 to support Mario M. Cuomo for governor. Mr. Giuliani said that “ethics will be trashed” if the Republican, George E. Pataki, won.

That angered Mr. D’Amato, a crucial supporter of Mr. Pataki, who had already split with Mr. Giuliani. Mr. D’Amato, who had sponsored Mr. Giuliani’s selection as federal prosecutor in Manhattan in 1983, said it was “the biggest mistake I ever made.”

UPDATE: JOSH MARSHALL IS WORRIED ABOUT WHO IS ON GIULIANI'S TEAM

In short: too crazy and insane to be taken onto the Bush-Cheney Team. Yes, Giuliani would be worse than Bush. Watch Josh explaining it:



Conclusion: Rudy is dumber than a rock-- and dumber than Bush-- when it comes to foreign policy.
