Giuliani: "No domestic terror attacks under Bush."

[Winehole23]

As long as we have a current president, the controversy will rage.

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

You just don't "get it", man!

[PixelPusher]

Richard Reid was prosecuted as a common criminal.

A wasted opportunity, no doubt.

You just don't "get it", man!

Apparently not.

I thought it was odd that doobs briefly expressed his inclination to disagree, then said no more about it. Perhaps real life intruded, or a pretty girl walked by. Quien sabe?

Treating actually manifested terrorism as terrorism for purposes of conversation, is btw a matter of some semantic dispute lately. Major Hasan's massacre at Fort Hood brought it into focus: this targets were mainly military, not civilian.

Hasan's crimes were acts of treachery and disloyalty -- and quite possibly treason -- in a military fraternity rather than an indiscriminate act of terror against civilians.

[Winehole23]

A wasted opportunity, no doubt.

I think not. Surely by now Mr. Reid is a ward of the state somewhere, free from the cares and worries of mundane existence. As he should be.

Life without parole.

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!"

Serial amnesiac, or cunning liar?

Former New York mayor and Donald Trump surrogate Rudolph W. Giuliani told Trump's supporters Monday that the U.S. did not face "any successful radical Islamic terrorist attacks" before President Obama took office in 2008.

Yeah but he's still wrong. There were successful radical islamic terrorist attacks after 9/11 but before Obama.

lol maybe?

You're not usually one to run with a snipet out of context WH but it's election season so I guess it's to be expected. Gonna vote for Johnson again?

Giuliani talked about that as well in the same speech.

Ignoring the role of the Bush's invasion of Iraq in the rise of ISIS is pretty convenient.

Ignoring the role of the Bush's invasion of Iraq in the rise of ISIS is pretty convenient.

Even more convenient is Hillary showcasing the Khan's, whose son died in the bull War-for-BigOil that Hillary voted for.
