Rudy Giuliani’s efforts to fit in with the Republican mainstream by, in part, Democrat-bashing is resulting in some ugly contortions. Speaking recently on FOX News, Giuliani slammed Bill Clinton’s presidency for making America less safe, saying the administration’s attitude towards terrorism was “don’t react, let things go.”
Not only is that wrong (see Richard Clarke’s work) and misdirected, it directly contradicts what Giuliani said just nine months ago, when commenting on ABC’s 9/11 docudrama:
“The idea of trying to cast blame on President Clinton is just wrong for many, many reasons, not the least of which is I don’t think he deserves it.”
One can only hope that if Rudy wins the Republican nomination, the mainstream media will focus on contradictions such as this and what even conservatives say is Rudy’s facile understanding of foreign affairs.
