Giuliani:

Rudy Giuliani said if a Democrat is elected president in 2008, America will be at risk for another terrorist attack on the scale of Sept. 11, 2001.

But if a Republican is elected, he said, especially if it is him, terrorist attacks can be anticipated and stopped

Rudy Giuliani benefitted from a great deal of post-9/11 haigiography (America’s Mayor, TIME Man of the Year, etc.), so I guess he thinks he gets to say things like that with impunity.

But let’s leave aside for a minute that the last 9/11 happened when we had a Republican president and a Republican Mayor of NY.

Just remember that the biggest pre-9/11 terrorism responsibility that Giuliani had was where to locate the city’s emergency management center. His choice? On the 27th Floor of the World Trade Center. And that was six years after the 1993 WTC bombing.

Sigh. I guess this sort of ignorant pandering plays to the Republican base.
