Giuliani: JFK Plot Proves I Should Be President

Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani on Saturday used news of a plot to blow up a John F. Kennedy International Airport jet fuel line as another example of why he should be elected president.

Giuliani told a crowd of 700 gathered at a Broward County Republican fundraiser that Democrats ignore the Islamic terrorist threat and that he is the Republican candidate best capable of handling it.

"I've had the most experience dealing with terrorism," Giuliani said, citing his experience as a federal prosecutor and later as mayor of New York City, where he served during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

"There are some very good people on the Republican side that understand terrorism, I do not find too many on the Democratic side that do, but I think of the people that do, I understand it the best and can keep the country focused on being on offense," Giuliani said.

Early in his nearly 30-minute speech, Giuliani mentioned the arrests of men who authorities say were part of a Muslim terrorist cell. He later held a press conference to make a statement about the alleged plot.

"Today's arrests remind us that we're at war," Giuliani said. "It should remind us that the terrorists are at war with us, both overseas and here in the United States."

He said it should not be a political issue, but rather a reality the country has to live with.

"We need things like the Patriot Act, we need things like electronic surveillance. It has to be legal, but we need it. We need things like interrogation techniques to get information from people. Legal again, but it has to be aggressive," Giuliani said. "These are the things that keep us safe in a world in which there are more than a few people organized around Islamic terrorists who want to harm us and kill us."

Earlier, he told the crowd to watch Sunday night's Democratic presidential candidate debate and see if the words "Islamic terrorist" are mentioned. He said they weren't during the first debate.

"I want to see tomorrow night if you hear them utter those words, because if you do, I want you to put a little check mark next to my name and give me credit for it because I've been criticizing them for weeks for not mentioning the words 'Islamic terrorist,"' he said.

Rudy would have shown up at the scene claiming: “Ath thoon ath Bernie Kerik can get his ankle monitoring brathlet off, he’ll be on top of the thituation.”

[wagglebee]

LMFAO!

[TommyDale]

LOL!

[wagglebee]

He was the one who implemented the new security measures

Of course, if he had made this a priority in his first seven and a half years in office, things may have been very different.

Oh yeah, I forgot, he did have the forsight to put the emergency command center right smack IN THE MIDDLE OF A KNOWN TERRORIST TARGET.

“I’ve had the most experience dealing with terrorism,” Giuliani said........

" Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's man, no time to talk. Music loud and women warm.Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin' alive. Stayin' alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin' alive.

Feel the city breakin' And ev'rybody shakin' And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin' alive. Stayin' alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin' alive.

Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me. Somebody help me, yeah. Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me, yeah. Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin' alive. Stayin' alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin' alive."

Wish I had a photo of a fruitcake.

How 'bout this? Pic of a fruitcake, and his mayor friend.

Giuliani at Gracie Mansion in 1997 with Howard Koeppel,one of the
openly gay couple Giuliani lived with, after ditching his wife and kids
to be with his mistress.

I live in Broward County.
It is VERY gratifying to me that they do not call on me for money or support. It saves me from having to tell them to EFF off!!

Broward County GOP. Sort of like the snorkeling instructors on the Titanic.

[wastedyears]

Maybe his mistress then was born a man... ?

okay, who running for President has had more experience in dealing with terrorist??

Probably Obama, but going to school with them in some madrassa not the kind of "experience" you are asking about, is it?

[calex59]

okay, who running for President has had more experience in dealing with terrorist?? McCain??? Ron Paul?? Tancrado??

Ok, please detail Rudy's experience in "dealing with" terrorist? What claim to fame does he have except that he was mayor of NYC when the WTC was attacked. Actually, I would think that would be a negative since the attack happened in his city, on his watch, with a sanctuary city attitude in force. He fought the federal government about implenting illegal alien laws and when he lost he ignored them anyway. In case you missed it, some of the bombers on 9/11 were here illegally(overstayed their visas)but due to people like Rudy they were not hunted down and deported.

Some security expert he is huh? As I said, detailexactly how he "dealt with" terrorists?

[GregH]

Giuliani sure does understand this issue of terrorism like no other, after all isnt he the genius who is responsible for putting the emergency command centre at the WTC building after the first attack.

He is delusional, he is good for getting the cheap publicity after the police, firefighters etc do the hard work in serving the city and its residents.

Monday morning quarterbacking.

And pretty much all of NYC was considered a terrorist target in the days after.

"I should be elected because on 9/11, I announced as the 9/11 candidate.

I would not even be here if 9/11 had not happened.

I own 9/11.

9/11 is my lucky number.

Even my dog is named 9/11.

And my wife has 9/11 tattoed on her thigh.

I get up at 911 AM everyday and retire at 911 PM.

I only buy cars that get 9 to 11 miles to the gallon.

9/11 is the lottery number I play everyday.

I live on 911 Ninth Street at the corner of 11th Avenue.

I'm buying the 7/11 store chain and renaming it 9/11.

9/11 will be forever embedded in the memory of post-9/11 America.

I will make 9/11 a national holiday....that's why I should be elected."

Post #22 well said, totally nailed it

[kenth]

What GOP candidate proposes to be soft on terrorism? Giuliani has done nothing special with regards to terrorism, other than be mayor when his city was attacked. Those other candidates were representatives, senators, etc. when their country was attacked, so what’s so special about him?
