Giuliani Faces Questions About Sept. 11

NEW YORK -- Rudy Giuliani's White House aspirations are inescapably tied
to Sept. 11, 2001 _ for better and for worse.

While the former mayor of the nation's largest city was widely lionized for his
post-9/11 leadership _ "Churchillian" was one adjective, "America's mayor" was
Oprah Winfrey's assessment _ city firefighters and their families are renewing
their attacks on him for his performance before and after the terrorist attack.

"If Rudolph Giuliani was running on anything but 9/11, I would not speak out,"
said Sally Regenhard, whose firefighter son was among the 343 FDNY members
killed in the terrorist attack. "If he ran on cleaning up Times Square, getting
rid of squeegee men, lowering crime _ that's indisputable.

"But when he runs on 9/11, I want the American people to know he was part
of the problem."

1. Junior was asleep at the whell on 9/11 despite warnings
And he came out looking like a hero. I guess Giuliani figures it should work for him too.

2. Democrats should keep saying that there's a you got such great footage of Rudy on 9/11
His state of the art, combined services command post was located in the World Trade Center. Rudy and his command team were running for their lives!

This was Giuliani's personal location choice!

What kind of an idiot puts his emergency command post in a building rated most likely to be the target of a terrorist attack?

5. Yes,
Apparently by the time he got there it was apparently too dangerous for poor Rudy to even go into his state of the art command post.

here's an article from the Village Voice:

3. KO was right; Giuliani used 911 body parts to fill potholes.
