His national security qualifications

It’s not just his 9-11 celebrity abuse at issue here.

He has been having several organizations hire his firms for anti-terrorism security work. If he were elected President, there is reasonable suspicion he would steer federal security work to those firms, something worse than any known arrangements to date with Cheney and federal contracting such as with Iraq or with hurricane recovery.

What’s interesting is that other than make great speeches, go to some funerals and provide real leadership for a few days after 9/11- Rudy has not really earned national security street cred. He did a star turn in crisis management after the attack (especially when you look at Ray Nagin’s response to Katrina!), but is keeping a cool head in times of chaos and tremendous grief really enough?

He has been roundly criticized for ignoring suggestions made after the first WTC attack in 1993 that could have improved the response time in the second attack and saved many more lives.

His national security qualifications are based on taking his word during an election.

“No mention of Pakistan, where we, and Bush, and Giuliani, who will Keep Us Safe! [tm] are in no way connected with the assassination of Bhutto.”

Yah, OK then. You just keep washing those hands…

Benazir Bhutto is assassinated and some yahoos at MSNBC and Fox News start talking how Rudy Giuliani can benefit from this politically…

Forget Fox. They'd make a better pornographic channel than a TV news station.As for MSNBC, the gasbag who said that the assassination would benefit Giuliani's campaign was former Republican representative Joe Scarborough, who has spit out crap like this before, so he doesn't deserve to be working in news either.

Rudy will Keep Us Safe! [tm] (and steer federal security contracts to companies with which he is connected)

He’s not even running his latest ad here in Iowa. Called “Freedom,” it seems, it attempts to link the “Greatest Generation” in World War II to the people at the World Trade Center on 9-11, and of course the courageous, Churchillian candidate Giuliani.

No mention of Pakistan, where we, and Bush, and Giuliani, who will Keep Us Safe! [tm] are in no way connected with the assassination of Bhutto.
