EXCERPT: Bernard Kerik did an irresponsible job training police in Iraq, John McCain said. McCain cited Kerik's relationship with Giuliani as a reason to doubt Giuliani's judgment. Kerik is Giuliani's former driver and bodyguard, hand-picked Police Commissioner, and business partner. Kerik was also a failed nominee to head Homeland Security; Giuliani recommended Kerik to GWB for the post. Kerik is now surrendering to face corruption charges.
McCain pointed to Kerik's performance in Iraq, along with complaints about how Giuliani treated first-responders after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. "I don't know Mr. Kerik. I do know that I went to Baghdad shortly after the initial victory and met in Baghdad with (Ambassador Paul) Bremer and (Lt. Gen. Ricardo) Sanchez. Kerik was supposed to help train the police force. He stayed two months, and one day left, just up and left," McCain told reporters.
"That's why I never would've supported Kerik to head homeland security because of his irresponsible act when he was over in Baghdad to try and help train the police. One of the reasons why we had so much trouble with the initial training of the police was because he came, didn't do anything and then went out to the airport and left."

Rooty must be kept OUT of any position of power within the Federal Gubmint and/or any cabinet position.
It's bad enough McCain holds the 1st Amendment in such low regard that we surely don't need that power hungry control freak - who openly ignored the rest of the Bill of Rights as mayor of NYC - anywhere near D.C.
One upside of a RAT-controlled senate - Rooty would 'prolly' never get confirmed for anything. I don't give a (blank) about his rah-tah speech at the convention, he's dangerous.
A lot of FReeper patriots are more than happy to agree with you---just on FR alone there's about 500 articles posted about Rooty---all negative.
The POS duped GWB into naming Kerik for one reason----so Rooty's global businesses would profit. Or should I say so the two Me-First pukes could collude to undermine US national securty?
Giuliani used eminent domain (w/ Texas Gov Perry) to take US properties from taxpayers and gave them to foreign entities.

NEWS STORY Bracewell & Giuliani Firm Advises Cintra in First Privatization of Toll Road in Texas
DALLAS (March 1, 2007) Bracewell & Giuliani LLP (Rudy's Texas-based law firm with global connections) advised Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A., a Spanish transportation company, in its successful bid to develop State Highway 121 into a toll road through Collin and Denton counties ("trade road" is four football fields wide). The award to Cintra, approved by the Texas Transportation Commission, is the first privatization of a Texas toll road. Bracewell is acting as project counsel to Cintra with respect to the 50-year concession from the Texas Department of Transportation. Cintra will pay a $2.1 billion upfront and annual lease payments totaling $700 million. "Cintra was awarded this project because of its proven expertise and competitive proposal," said Thomas O. Moore, partner with Bracewell & Giuliani. "This is the largest transportation deal of 2007. This is one of only five deals in the country."
I’m thinking Giuliani wants Secy of Defense but will get a token offer of Homeland Security, nothing higher in the pecking order
Likely he will be Ambassador as stated before ( to UN, maybe??)
I don’t like what I’m reading.
