I really don't like to question the motives of people who post here, but this is the kind of thing that really makes me wonder.
We've already been through the whole "Bolton is advising Giuliani" thing and there is not a shred of evidence that Bolton has any involvement with Giuliani other than a Giuliani campaign spokesperson claiming he "talks to many people" and including Bolton in that statement. How often does he talk to Bolton? When was the last time? How extensive is his involvement with Giuliani?
You may think making claims like this is no big deal, but the day after you posted the original article claiming Bolton's "advisory" role another Rudy backer claimed not only was Bolton and "adviser", but had "de facto" endorsed Giuliani. There has been a pattern (I'm not saying by you) of pro-Giuliani posters making exaggerated or false claims that are debunked, but take on a life of their own and continue to be repeated. To this day I continue to see posters claim that Ronald Reagan personally chose Giuliani for the DOJ.
My god I explained that I didn’t say he was on Rudy’s team or endorsing Rudy just that he was advising him. He’s on nobody’s team.
Oh come on, she was just saying that since he talked with John Bolton, he probably had the 60% number right.
However, there is no evidence that John Bolton has ever said unemployment in Iraq is 60%, or that Rudy got that number from John Bolton. That was complete speculation, and probably wrong.
the nationwide unemployment in Iraq is not 60%. I’ve seen the 60% number somewhere, and my guess is Rudy saw it as well, but misapplied it to the entire country.
He is still correct that a country with high unemployment will be an unstable country.
