MANCHESTER, N.H. —- 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.

“If any Republican is elected president —- and I think obviously I would be the best at this —- we will remain on offense and will anticipate what will do and try to stop them before they do it,” Giuliani said.

The former New York City mayor, currently leading in all national polls for the Republican nomination for president, said Tuesday night that America would ultimately defeat terrorism no matter which party gains the White House.

“But the question is how long will it take and how many casualties will we have?” Giuliani said. “If we are on defense , we will have more losses and it will go on longer.”

“I listen a little to the Democrats and if one of them gets elected, we are going on defense,” Giuliani continued. “We will wave the white flag on Iraq. We will cut back on the Patriot Act, electronic surveillance, interrogation and we will be back to our pre-Sept. 11 attitude of defense.”

He added: “The Democrats do not understand the full nature and scope of the terrorist war against us.”

You miserable heap of tragedy profiteer. Fuck you.

Stop being mean to our Rudelinda..................:rofl: :bounce:

its the only way they can even hope to win.

Is Homeland Security going to bring Rudy in for a little questioning about what he might know?

Oh, and refresh my memory, Rudy: Who was in charge on the first 9/11? In charge of New York, in charge of the White House, in charge of the FBI, in charge of the CIA? Was it . . . you and the rest of your Republican cronies? Why, yes it was! And who was in charge at the turn of the millennium, and in a dramatic turn of events, nothing untoward happened? Oh, that was the Democrats, wasn't it?

What was your thesis again, Mr. Giuliani? Because it seems to hold water about as well as a New Orleans levee. Oops, another little blunder on the Republican watch.

Just like they did on September 11, 2001.

Bush sat on his fat ass and did NOTHING after he heard the news.

Condi ignored warning after warning for weeks beforehand.

Bush vacationed during the prior month.

It was all fun and games for them, they did NOTHING to protect us.

They dropped the ball. And they've made it more dangerous since then.

Our ports are wide open. Our military is stretched to the breaking point. Our bank account is empty, and Bush has sold our country to the Chinese.

Yeah, I want more Republicans in charge. There may even be one or two not in prison when the Dems get finished uncovering all their crimes.

'Nice little country you got here. It would be a shame if anything were to happen to it.'

It's dirt on the coffin of your political hopes. "The sky is falling" approach has taken a few licks of late and doesn't seem to be stirring up the barnyard much these days.

If that's all he's got, he's going down hard.

Oh. That IS all he's got.

reminding us of their biggest failure?

and become dictator of NYC.


Mutant Malathion

For months, the malathion sat in Deep South warehouses and outdoor storage tanks, baking in the summer sun. Destined for mosquito-control programs, the insecticide was supposed to be stored at temperatures no higher than 77 degrees Fahrenheit to avoid conversion to a more deadly poison. But there it was, unrefrigerated in parts of the country where the mercury can climb toward 100 day after day.

Documents from the manufacturer, Cheminova, indicate the company was aware that its products were stored improperly by users as early as 1996, and such practices apparently continue. No one knows exactly how toxic the chemical has become at any given site, or how much of that malathion has been shipped north for use in New York's attack on the West Nile virus.

A Cheminova executive hung up the phone when asked for comment, not surprising given the extent to which the company has been buffeted by bad press. In 1984, two kids in Mississippi were killed after being exposed to Cheminova's methyl parathion. Six years later, the death of a California farm worker who'd ingested parathion led to federal rules aimed at cutting use of the pesticide in half. In 1996, two more Mississippi children were made severely ill by the pesticide. The company has been a favorite target of groups like Greenpeace.

Now a fresh lawsuit by Long Island Sound lobstermen alleges some of the toxicstew was sprayed here, beginning in 1999. They say it killed off crustaceans in the tristate area and perhaps harmed humans as well. Early evidence from the Environmental Protection Agency indicates the lobstermen may be right. While downplaying the potential damage, the EPA recently reported that tests of malathion in New York-area holding tanks found traces of a poisonous neurotoxin called isomalathion—a byproduct created when malathion is exposed to high temperatures.

thought so!

He has declared his platform.

Rudy Guiliani- taking away your rights to keep you safe! International Law is for sissies!

It's as if Cheney was running and we all know how popular he is. If Rudy is the candidate it would be a good thing.

Hey Rudy, the FDNY still wants some answers about those crummy walkie-talkies you foisted on them...

The lack of these policies explains 9/11? What about obstructed investigations? Ignored warnings. No urgency at the Cabinet level despite a system blinking red.

IMO, failure to prevent 9/11 had more to do with corrupt officials in high office than any systemic problems.

:eyes:

"It would be terrible if something unfortunate were to happen your store ..."

Screw you, Rudy.

Bake

:puke:

He was the mayor of the largest city in the world, and the attack happened anyway, and the response was a CF. So his point is what?
