During the Republican Convention Rudy strongly supported W in the WOT. It was his support, along with Tommy Franks and a number of other Republicans who helped the President get re-elected. He lived 9/11, lost people that were close to him on 9/11 and I've never heard him say anything to indicate that he no longer supports the war. My personal dream ticket would be Franks-Giuliani in '08. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any indication that Franks has expressed any interest. I do know that we need to put someone with name recognition out there.

Don't tell me about what Rudy said at one time or another. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in politics these days who can't portray himself as a "strong supporter of the War on Terror" in some way. It's sort of like standing up and saying that you're opposed to mass starvation or the Black Plague.

As of this date, Rudy Giuliani's sole contribution to the "War on Terror" has been his recommendation to the Bush administration to hire Bernie Kerik -- Giuliani's dysfunctional, unqualified sycophant (and former personal bodyguard) -- to serve as the Secretary of Homeland Security.

Giuliani won't even run in 2008, since he knows better than anyone else that he'll probably suffer a loss Mondale-like proportions in either the GOP primaries or in the general election.

" My personal dream ticket would be Franks-Giuliani in '08. "

Mine, also. Or Giuliani/ Franks.
Rudy Giuliani, Tommy Franks, Fred Thompson, Jon Kyl, John Cornyn and JD Hayworth are the only names that have the manly gravitas to compete in 08.
Taking a strong position on the WOT, illegal immigration, lowering taxes and vowing to appoint John Roberts type justices to the SC would also have great appeal to independents and Reagan Democrats.
BTW-I think the recent disgraceful behavior by Zinni and his cohorts was also, in part, to besmirch General Franks.
In March ,I noticed that there were a lot of anti Franks commentators suddenly making the rounds.
Coincidence- I don't think so.
