What experience dealing with terrorists does Giuliani have?

"What experience dealing with terrorists does Giuliani have?"

He knows how to clean up after them. That's about it.

His expertise in this area is in the pr work the day of and several days after. Nothing he did in the run up did any good-and some of what he did or didn’t do hurt-and he was only mayor for 3 1/2 months after so the rebuilding wasn’t his either. He just put on a “good show” in the immediate aftermath.

When he was working for Reagan, Rudy was assigned to the Achille Lauro case, where PLF terrorists hijacked the cruise ship and murdered an elderly American tourist. I dont know if he handled other terrorist cases while he was a govt attorney.

I believe his firm, Giuliani Partners, has a specialty in helping clients protect themselves from terrorist threats.

In terms of who has comparable experience, it is hard to say. I think it is more useful to look at who has any level of experience to deal with the terrorist threat. The two that come to mind would be Duncan Hunter (former Chair of House Armed Services Committee) and of course McCain.

Apologies to anyone I should have named but missed.

Giuliani just happened to be in New York on 9/11. That’s about it.

Giuliani wants to abolish the 2nd amendment, so the people would no longer have the right to keep and bear arms. Just criminals, terrorists and the government would have guns. Thomas Jefferson said to beware of any government (or would be president, presumably) who does not trust the people to own their own weapons. Jefferson was right. Giuliani is wrong, and unsuited to be president.

Well I know that Guiliani partners LLC in 2003, at the behest of an influential Mexican National named Carlos Slim, on behalf of the government of Mexico, completed a long and costly contract for the government of Mexico, which implemented “every element of the plan” to reduce skyrocketing crime and solve the violent social breaches which have caused many of the middle class citizens in Mexico to feel they are enbatteled and cut off from civilization.

Four years on, how IS that plan coming along, by the way?

Exactly, he did nothing to stop the terrorists, no body could have, all he dealt with was the aftermath of a tragedy.
