 Giuliani Lowers the DiscoursePosted on Oct 29, 2007Historians may one day debate Rudy Giuliani’s recent preposterous comments at a New Hampshire town hall meeting. “Did he mean it?” they might ask. “Or was he just dehydrated?” While addressing voters, the candidate said that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were debating whether to invite Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Osama bin Laden to their inaugurations. But wait, there’s more. Giuliani insisted that the “mission” in Iraq is without a doubt the correct one, and the Democrats and history will eventually come to that view. Without the war, he warned, Saddam Hussein would have had nuclear weapons: “Wouldn’t we be dealing with Saddam Hussein becoming nuclear right now? If Iran was becoming nuclear what would he be doing?” Apparently he would be waving his magical nuclear arsenal wand and threatening the United States. Seriously, this man wants to be president, and he’s justifying the invasion and occupation of a country—not to mention the continued loss of lives and treasure—with a stale lie and a retroactive hypothetical.

Dear God,
HELP US!!!
So in Rudy’s sinister mind, what he is lying about is that if we didn’t invade Iraq, the world would now be confronted with a nuclear arms race between two third world countries??? LOL!!!
If this sleaze ball becomes the president of our country, we will be in for more of the same tourtured, half-baked logic, lies, wars, and kindergarten-esque explanations of the malfesient right-wing corporate agenda. As the front-runner, he is obviously being guided towards the same ends and ambitions that Bush, Inc. has been. Dear God…

I admit to being somewhat confused. If everything points to the voters being unhappy with how things are going in this country and looking for “change”, why is Rootin-tootin-Rudy advocating more war? Is it an appease the base strategy now to get the nomination and then make a hard turn towards the middle for the general? One might almost find that kind of dishonest, doncha think?

Rudi is right again.His idea to practice bombing runs on Brazil to get ready for Iran because he heard the Pres of Brazil say the word nuclear may raise some eyebrows.All kidding aside how dumb are Republican primary voters.Do they mark their ballots in crayon?I am not saying on the democratic side it is a walk with mensa but for him to say something so stupid because he thinks it will play with the base makes the base more than moronic.Even George W Bush in one of the hundred reasons he has given has never even tried that one.

When it comes to national security and foreign affairs, Rudi G reminds me of a Dick Cheney clone, a chickehawk and self-annointed counter-terrorism expert. When it comes to Iraq, Rudi G. personifies the neo-CON perception of shock & awe and fear mongering so expertly manipulated by GW and his consigliere dark inner circle. The scary part is that if Rudi G. becomes president, the GW dream of a democratic caliphate in the Middle East will have a second headwind. Such a scenario will no doubt keep Cheney awake to provide expert opinion to Rudi G. as he garners additional contracts for Halliburton. It would also bring back Donald, shock & awe, Rumsfeld to re-implement his cerebral winning formula for the new world order neo-CON agenda. One must not forget the topnotch troika of regional democratization and regime change. The Rudi G. administration will undoubtedly witness the return of the Big Three, Paul Wolfowitz, Douggy Feith, and Richard Perle et al to act as a policy-making brain trust for Rudi G’s perpetuation of GW’s historically Romanesque effort to secure the Middle East oil resources from the ever increasing apetite of communist China which is the biggest threat to American oil interests all over the world.
