Giuliani defends Clinton's defense over terrorism preparedness

[WharfRat]

FORT LAUDERDALE (AP) — Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani defended Bill Clinton on Wednesday over the former president's counterterrorism efforts, saying recent criticism on preventing the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks is wrong

The idea of trying to cast blame on President Clinton is just wrong for many, many reasons, not the least of which is I don't think he deserves it," Giuliani said in response to a question after an appearance with fellow Republican Charlie Crist, who is running for governor. "I don't think President Bush deserves it. The people who deserve blame for Sept. 11, I think we should remind ourselves, are the terrorists, the Islamic fanatics, who came here and killed us and want to come here again and do it."

I always liked Rudy for stating the obvious like that....

Giuliani said he believed Clinton, like his successor, did everything he could with the information he was provided.
"Every American president I've known would have given his life to prevent an attack like that. That includes President Clinton, President Bush," the former mayor said outside a firehouse. "They did the best they could with the information they had at the time."

Giuliani said he was "very interested in considering" a run for president but would not make a decision until after the November election.

Gotta love Rudy.

For me the point has never been about blaming someone.

And, for the most part, this board had stayed away from casting blame for 9/11 it was mostly about Bush and Iraq.

However, when Clinton came out with a pack of lies seeking to deflect blame for himself and heap blame on Bush it demanded a reply of the truth.

The truth has always been that the responsibility stretches back over the last 4 Presidents or more, including Bush, and Clinton perhaps more than the others as he was the President in office during the emergence of Al Qaeda.

Well, Rudy does kind of slap everyone in the face and remind everyone that Clinton didn't attack us...Bush didn't attack us...the terrorists were the ones who attacked us.

Simplicity at it's finest!!

Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy...Please run!!
