    Rudy Giuliani, the man who was mayor of New York City during the 9/11 attacks, appeared on Good Morning America today to say President Obama should take lessons from former President George W. Bush on how to prevent a terrorist attack.

    "What [Obama] should be doing is following the right things Bush did. One of the right things he did was treat this as a war on terror. We had no domestic attacks under Bush. We've had one under Obama," Giuliani said.

    Giuliani made the 9/11 attacks (which did happen under Bush) the central point of his campaign, using his leadership of the city to support his political viability. Now-Vice President Biden even called him on it during a 2007 presidential debate: "Rudy Giuliani. There's only three things he mentions in a sentence -- a noun, a verb, and 9/11. There's nothing else!"

    One of the stupidest things I've ever heard a political player say. And that's saying quite a lot.

    He's probably distracted by scouting for his next wife.

    Two Repug es also this week said exactly the same.

    http://rawstory.com/2010/01/maddow-s...orgetting-911/

    Co-incidence they all tell the same lie in one week?

    or orchestrated talking points by the Repug smear and lie machine to politicize the underwear bomber affair.

    Dog whistle pure and simple. The claim made does not withstand momentary scrutiny.

    We had 9/11 no domestic attacks 9/11 under Bush 9/11. We've had 9/11 one under Obama 9/11," Giuliani 9/11 said 9/11.

    9/11 re s.
    how about that guy that executed all the amish girls, or the virginia tech shootings, or the shooting at NIU. Or the family that at was killed on 01/01/2006 in Richmond.

    I would count any shooting/killing were innocent people are killed as terrorism.....because someone busting in and shooting/killing innocent people terrifies the out of me.

    Treating all these instances as discrete crimes whose perpetrators are common criminals, does still make sense.

    Pretty dumb statement, but are you guys really trying to suggest that Guliani was saying 9/11 didn't happen on Bush's watch?

    Why would a republican want to defend this? Weird.

    no, tranves e JulieAnnie said it, and two other Repug ladies said it, too.

    For these liars, dubya and head were inaugurated 9/12, and 9/11 was all Clinton's fault, as this forum's Repug-sucking parrots also squawked many times.

    Giuliani obviously misspoke. He just failed to correctly regurgitate the Republican line about no terrorist attacks under Bush after 9/11.

    One of the stupidest things I've ever heard a political player say. And that's saying quite a lot.
    I don't know, using the word "Negro" when talking about Obama is pretty damn stupid.

    That is not correct, either.

    Well, that's debatable. People can argue endlessly about things that happened after 9/11--whether they were terrorist attacks or mere criminal acts of murder, whether it matters where the incident occurred or who the intended targets were, etc.--but it comes down to differences in definition.

    What isn't debatable is that 9/11 happened under Bush. That's why what Giuliani said is so absurd.

    The anthrax attack was definitionally not domestic terror, how please?

    Richard Reid was prosecuted as a common criminal.

    ergo, the act was not terrorism but rather mischief. therefore, rudy's statement remains true and Obama is still the worst president of all time.
