I guess that's what I'm getting at. You make reference to success in the abstract and offer no examples of anything heroic or extraordinary that he accomplished.
Tell me about any lives he might have saved. Tell me about any terrorists he stopped or captured. Tell me about the specific things he did that you don't believe most mayors would have done. Where did he go and what did he do that was special?
If it's not possible for you to describe any of the special things he did, maybe you should go back to the person who told you he did special things and get some more information.
I don’t have time to go back into old files right now, but here is one example that I remember.
There had been a student intern in a department of city government that summer who was working on developing a computer program which identified traffic patterns, and alternate or improved routes for moving big vehicles around Manhattan. This student’s work was so impressive - he was back at his university in September - that Rudy remembered him, got in touch with him and asked him if he was willing to come to New York for at least that semester, to help with the implementation of his program. It was this program that was able to identify routes to and from Ground Zero to move the masses of material that had to be carted away, during the rescue operations and after rescues were no longer the priority.
The student did put his classwork on hold and went back to NY.
I am sure that this is not the only example of Giuliani being a hands-on in charge Mayor of New York.
If you are changing the goal posts to claim that Rudy did nothing to prevent the attacks, then you are not debating in good faith.
