Giuliani: "Listen’ To Me On Iraq, Even Though I Quit The Iraq Study Group To Get Rich"

http://thinkprogress.org/2007/09/14/giuliani-priorities-iraq/

. . .

Indeed, America needs a “serious discussion in this country” on Iraq. One person who has proved himself to be someone America should not “listen to” is Rudy Giuliani. The former New York City mayor, who has never visited Iraq, has complained that “America is too consumed with Iraq.”

In 2006, Giuliani had an opportunity to study the issue as a member of the Iraq Study Group, but he quit the post because it conflicted with his lucrative speaking tours. Newsday reported:

Giuliani quit the group during his busiest stretch in 2006, when he gave 20 speeches in a single month that brought in $1.7 million.

In 2004, after tons of explosives in Iraq went missing, Giuliani defended President Bush by saying “the actual responsibility for it really would be for the troops that were there.”

2. wasn't Ruddy involved in a 'Vulture' scheme to steal millions of $$$ of African AIDs money

google 'Vulture scheme to steal african aid'

i am pretty sure it was him.. groups of people pitch in money to buy up 3rd world countries debt for pennies on the dollar.. then when they get money for AIDs and to help the poor, they crawl out of their holes and demand they be paid first from the foreign aid money.. the president could stop it in a heart beat but he refuses
