Firefighter: Giuliani 'ran like a coward on 9/11'
Shocking video included at link

http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Firefighter_Giuliani_ran_like_coward_on_0122.html

Families of firefighters killed in the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center rallied in Orlando Tuesday in anticipation of the state's upcoming Republican primary. Unfortunately for Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani, the firefighters are not in his corner.

"We want America to know that is lying to America and to the American pubic," said Jim Riches, a deputy chief in the New York Fire Department, "telling all of Florida that the New York City Fire Department backs him, when that's another lie."

<snip>
Giuliani has campaigned strongly on his leadership during the attacks on New York, claiming he is the best suited to prevent an "Islamic terrorist war against us." But the firefighters were quick to question that courage.

"Yeah, the decision he made was, which direction he was going to run," says Riches. "And he ran north, and that's all he did."

1. I heard Guiliani is running in 4th in FL now, hes done
And all the states that he has not campaigned in up until now are probably lost for him if he were to make it to the General. He basically insulted all of them.

2. Did you happen to watch the video ?
about 1 minute in the firefighter says Guliani left at 9:20, 39 minutes before the towers fell and ran somehow to a building that was just away from the debris.

Hmmm
