Giuliani Slams Bill Clinton on Terrorism—Seriously? Is this guy for real? I mean, this is the guy who insisted on, over the objections of the feds, locating NYC's emergency management headquarters on the Twin Towers campus after it'd sustained an attack in 1993. What could he possibly have to say about Clinton's record on terrorism?!

"Islamic terrorists killed more than 500 Americans before Sept. 11. Many people think the first attack on America was on Sept. 11, 2001. It was not. It was in 1993," said the former New York mayor.
ZOMG. You've got to be kidding me.

Giuliani argued that Clinton treated the World Trade Center bombing as a criminal act instead of a terrorist attack, calling it "a big mistake" that emboldened other strikes on the Khobar Towers housing complex in Saudi Arabia, in Kenya and Tanzania and later on the USS Cole while docked in Yemen in 2000.
Unlike, say, the Double Dog Dare of sticking New York's fucking emergency management headquarters in the same fucking place. Wow.

And, by the way, his inelegant extrication of "criminal act" from "terrorist attack," as if the two are mutually exclusive, is indisputable evidence that he will prosecute "the war on terror" in the same tyrannical, lawless, incendiary manner as the current White House occupant, in case there was anyone left who hadn't yet clacked onto the jackbooted thuggery underlying Giuliani's pretensions of martial dictatorship.

Meanwhile: Steve M. points out that Rudy just handed the Dems a lovely gift.
