No, Rudy was the elected Mayor. He was not in charge of the police force. That's what the Chief of Police is for.
His response to 9/11 despite what others say was heroic.
His response was nothing more than having Department Directors, Department Managers and Supervisors report to him the ACTION they took. He was merely the messenger. If you know anything about Emergency Management you know that is true.
His speech following 9/11 slapping around the UN was fantastic.
Talk is cheap.
he more then any other pol knows the nature of the enemy...he’s qualified.
I'm sure there are a lot of other responsible politicians and non-politicians that know much more about our enemies than Giuliani.
..and Rudy went against the advice of the police commissioner’s report concerning where Command and Control should be located pre-9/11, NOT at WTC “Ground Zero” as it was referred to by the commissioner even before that fateful day, but Rudy wanted it within walking distance of city hall, at WTC, which was even more expensive to do so. We all now know what deadly problems that decision cost. Rudy did not listen to his own ‘Military’.
