Where are his foreign policy credentials, other than showing up at Cholo festivals and Israel Day parades? NONE of you Giuliani suppporters have EVER proven to me that RG has any knowledge of foreign policy other than soundbites. The man has ZERO strategy to extricate us from nation building, and does NOTHING but mouth platitudes about "democracy" which only makes him seem like more of a Wilsonian idealistic fool than our current President.
We need Teddy Roosevelt and Henry Kissinger, not some hack lawyer from Long Island who cringes when not surrounded by his security detail.
I’m not argung that he’s got Foreign policy credentials, merely that he turned New York City around. I moved out of NYC during the Dinkins years. I went back to visit when the Yanks won the series in 96. The change was incredible, and I grew up there so I know NY. And as for his approval ratings at 28%, consider the (liberal) NY press constantly berating him for being tough on the poor criminals, and welfare cheats. Face it, Rudy was a very effective mayor, and on that record alone, he’s more qualified than other candidates who’ve done nothing more than run a Senate office, occassionaly spewing soundbites.
