Giuliani Claims There Were No Terror Attacks On US Soil Before Obama

That old cross dresser has lost it.


Speaking in Youngstown, Ohio ahead of Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, who was the mayor of New York City on 9/11, declared that Islamic extremists hadn't carried out any terror attacks on American soil before Barack Obama's presidency.


"Under those 8 years, before Obama came along, we didn't have any successful radical Islamic terrorist attack in the US," Giuliani told the crowd. "They all started when Clinton and Obama came into office."

It's not the first time Giuliani has made remarks that seemed to gloss over the terror attacks that left nearly 3,000 dead and that defined him in the eyes of many Americans. While suggesting in 2010 that Obama could stand to take some cues from George W. Bush, the former mayor claimed, "We had no domestic attacks under Bush."

let's look back with fondness to the time he was directly responsible for MANY more deaths than Hillary allegedly was at Benghazi:

Giuliani was DIRECTLY responsible for the deaths of many first responders in the IMMEDIATE aftermath of 911, not to mention putting the lives of thousands of workers in jeopardy during the cleanup, due to mendacious criminal negligence:


Tallon goes on to cite what many see as Giuliani's worst offense - his failure to provide basic, functioning equipment to the first responders who placed their lives on the line every day in New York City. This failure would prove deadly after the 9/11 attacks, when firefighters were unable to hear radio calls to evacuate the soon-to-collapse towers. "My brother had an antiquated radio in his hand on 9/11," she said. "That means he was deaf, dumb, and blind in that situation."

During these last weeks of the Florida campaign, these three and others like them have arrived to serve as a truth squad, mounting what's turned out to be a growing attack on Giuliani. They are marching to city halls, parading down Florida streets behind a giant inflatable rat marked with Rudy's name. "We're not telling anybody who to vote for," Regenhard told reporters. "We're telling you Rudy Giuliani is no hero of 9/11 ... Rudy Giuliani failed New York, and failed everyone in the World Trade Center."


..............and this:

The failure to provide first responders with basic, effective equipment has become an enormous and emotional issue for the families of firefighters who lost their lives that day. So, too, has the health of the rescue and recovery workers who labored on "the pile" - the remains of the Twin Towers - in the days and weeks after the attacks. Some 2,000 firefighters have to date been treated for serious respiratory problems, and a New York hospital found that 70% of the 10,000 recovery workers it screened had trouble breathing.

Evidence, much of it from negligence lawsuits filed by sick workers, indicates that Giuliani administration pressured workers to move forward quickly (the cleanup that was estimated to require 30 months was completed in nine). But it is also accused of failing to enforce safety requirements, and misrepresenting the dangers to health posed by the air quality at Ground Zero.

I won't bother with the third leg of this triad of criminally negligent mismanagement.....his complete, and VENAL placement of the command center in a location that had already been BOMBED in 93.

He, who could not form a sentence without 9-11 in it can now not remember when it took place?

I know, depressing as it is, that there are those out there that will nod their heads an say "der.. Yeah he's right", but surely there can't be that many idiots out there.

and old enough to be aware of what was going on would remember. It doesn't take much intelligence to remember who was president then. Also, every September 11th, the press reminds us of how many years it has been. The younger ones can figure out that Obama wasn't president then by simple subtraction.
