Gary Hart: An Open Letter to Mayor Giuliani

Dear Mayor Giuliani:

Since you have based your presidential campaign almost exclusively on your reaction to terrorist attacks on New York City, and since you have recently accused Democrats of being on the defense against terrorism and therefore guilty of inviting more casualties, I have one question for you: Where were you on terrorism between January 31, 2001, and September 11th?

The first date was when the U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century issued its final report warning, as did its previous reports, of the danger of terrorist attacks on America. The George W. Bush administration did nothing about these warnings and we lost 3,000 American lives. What did you do during those critical eight months? Where were you? Were you on the defensive, or were you even paying attention?

Before you qualify to criticize Democrats, Mr. Giuliani, you must account for your preparation of your city for these clearly predicted attacks. Tell us, please, what steps you took to make your city safer.

Until you do, then I strongly suggest you should keep your mouth shut about Democrats and terrorism.

You have not qualified to criticize others, let alone be president of the United States.

Gary Hart
(co-chair, U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century)

P.S. You might ask these same questions of George W. Bush while you are trying to find a better reason to run for president.

Today, April 28, 2007, I predict that there is a danger of terrorist attacks on America.

This means that if there is ever again another terrorist attack on America, I will have the right to second-guess every politician for the next 25 years. After all, I made a bold prediction and, assuming a future attack, the politicians didn't do enough to prevent the attack. So that means it's the politicians' fault.

Dear Gary Hart,

Hey, drooling scumbag, you are the flaky apologist for the party that had EIGHT YEARS to do something and failed so badly. Yes, many figures in both parties could and should have done more, much more, all along the way. But guess what, the party that constantly poses the most obstacles to improving our security and counter-terrorism, even AFTER 9/11, is almost always the Demagogues.

Gary Hart? THE “Monkey Business Man” himself? What did Gary Hart do to improve US national security during his long years of FEDERAL elected office?

BARRRF ALERT- a blast from the past,
