The only thing Rudy did concerning 911 was cost alot of brave people their lives by his utter incompetence in not correcting the emergency radio problem after the first Trade Center attack and by foolishly putting the emergency operations center in an obviously vulnerable place. Rudy's sanctuary city policy would have given sanctuary to the 911 terrorists who were here illegally.

Was Rudy the mayor at the time of the first Trade Center attack? If not, why are you singling him out? Fire Chiefs, burrough and coucil members would have figured into any decsions on new radios. It wouldn't be something Rudy could unilaterally do.

Was it Rudy's idea to put the Emergency Operations Center in the WTC? If so it was an admittedly bonehead idea. I doubt he could do that unilaterally though. It would have gone through a process where other city officials would have been involved.

As for sanctuary city status, I'm not even sure he was responsible for that.

I am not a fan of Rudy for president. He's way too left of center for me. I certainly agree with your comments on judges. He can't pass off that responsibility IMO, and I think you're right to take him to task on it.

As for the loss of Fire Department personel, I'm going to place the blame squarely on the federal government. They are charged with protecting our nation from attack. It sends chills through my spine to realize that we were so ill-prepared that it took us over thirty minutes to get fighter aircraft up over our nation's capital. One plane might sneak through, but allowing two planes to slam into the WTC without interdiction? Allowing one plane to slam into our Pentagon... Wow... talk about malfeasance.

We should have had some national security heads roll after than day.

As for sanctuary city status, I'm not even sure he was responsible for that.

Are you kidding? Rudy was not only responsible for it, when the federal government made it illegal Rudy sued the federal government for his "right" to shield illegal aliens. When he lost, twice, in court he vowed he would continue the policy anyways. Some Mr. law and order.

Rudy's only serious claim is that he is a "leader" who can get things done. Your post, however, is mostly excuses for why he was unable to get important things done.

The one thing I feel certain of is that Rudy, thankfully, will not be the next president.
