Say what you will about Rudy on all other subjects - we all have a right to speak up; but what I heard today on Fox News Sunday about Rudy's mind set on the WOT was EXCELLENT. All other candidates please take note!

I have not decided on any one candidate, yet...my "dream team" is more of a fantasy team...Bauer (Jack) / Bolton (John) '08 ;-)

Interesting — what I heard from the same interview was Giuliani again focusing on police tactics such as the PATRIOT Act, surveillance, etc., and calling that “being on the offense.” In reality, these are defensive tactics used domestically for the most part to try to prevent individual attacks. This is the very essence of swatting at flies — Giuliani proposes to take us back to treating terrorism as a crime and fighting it with police tactics. There was zero talk of draining the swamp and how he might strategically change the regions of the world that are breeding terrorists. Even when he was asked about Iraq, he discussed it mostly in the context of not wanting to announce a timetable for retreat.

This “fight terrorism primarily as a crime” approach isn’t surprising, since he has zero foreign policy experience and has spent his whole life in crime-fighting. But it’s exactly what we don’t need to effectively win the war on Islamofascists.
