		<description>As much as I distain almost anything that Giuliani stands for, in this case it may be that he just possibly did a nice political move.

*) That Clinton had some emotion is entirely reasonable.  Her statement was entirely reasonable.  it may deflect some of the criticism against her of being somewhat cold.

*) Therefore, there isn&#039;t a lot of risk in another politician saying that her emotion was reasonable.

*) By his statement, the Ghool actually had a no-risk way of humanizing himself.  At the same time, he took the spotlight off from Clinton and put it squarely on himself.

Possibly a calculated and good move ?</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;I would be pretty certain that Guliani would do everything in his power to make sure it does not happen again.

Comment by O. Bigfoot &lt;/em&gt;

Just like he did after the FIRST WTC attack...

I&#039;m sure he&#039;d be wonderful at that - just imagine all the things he would accomplish - put the emergency response headquarters in a blatant target, streamline communications among first responders, and discuss strategy with his mistresses while kanoodling in the emer response HQ...  He&#039;d especially make sure it happened on a different day of the year - isnt that what he (and you) mean by &#039;9-11 never again&#039;?

Bang up job so far, Rudy.  And you aint too bad yourself OB.</description>

		<description>Funny that the story about Iran tangling with US ships, which actually happened a couple of days ago, breaks the day before a Presidential primary.

And then Ghouliani gets on TV today repeating his usual 9/11 mantra.

		<description>Arguing with O. Bigfoot = Pissing in the wind

At least piss just stains your pants. When people with opinions like Bigfoot&#039;s are given access to public office, blood reigns o&#039;er all of us. 

People like Bigfoot caused 9/11. Because they were in a position to do something before 9/11 happened, and they chose to do nothing.

It&#039;s a fact.

We should all end our posts with &quot;...and Bigfoot is stupid.&quot; It&#039;s quite freeing.</description>

LOL -- you&#039;re better off if you don&#039;t.  I&#039;m a real klutz, and I trip a lot.  I wouldn&#039;t want you to get hurt.

Seriously though, I&#039;m sure that what I said in my post is nothing more than common sense, really -- what a lot of people are thinking about Giuliani and his transparent attempts to capitalize on a tragic event which, had it not happened, would have resulted in Giuliani remaining as obscure as other American mayors.

Unfortunately, in order to stay relevant, Rudy has had to ratchet up fear as much as possible, and tries to constantly remind us of A) what a &quot;hero&quot; he is, and B) how we must always be afraid of scary brown people.

The fear of terrorism is proving to be much more harmful to our society than terrorism itself -- just as the fear of Communism was in Joe McCarthy&#039;s day.

And another point -- Hillary should be happy that Giuliani is obligingly making himself look more foolish than she has.</description>

		<description>A steel and concrete structure does not have total collapse due to fire. Concrete does not pulverize because of fire. All three towers had &#039;total collapse&#039; in less than 10sec. It is phisics, which is something that is impossible to lie about! Total collapse suggests &#039;controlled demolition&#039;. In order to certify about that you must have a propper investigation of the crime scene, which Giuliani9/11 made sure that it was cleaned up as fast as the building collpsed. 
And more... if we can see the Show/footage of the planes hitting the towers (Only two of them!), why can;t we see the footage of a 757 hitting the Pentagon? What are they hidding? Why the War Criminals Bush and Chenney had to unswer questions in close section and NOT under oath. Why? What are they hidding? Why Bush took 5 minutes to leave the pre-schoolers and the &quot;my pet goat&quot; book? and the ununswered questions goes on and on... Why the 9/11 Omission/Comission disregarded the central 47 massive steeel colunms of WTC towers in order to fit their SCI-FI version of events? What was NORAD doing then???... 9/11 was a military/CIA/Bushadministration inside job operation. Just explain the Phisics of it would help to suggest otherwise!</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;So I suppose you deny that Pearl Harbor happened also?

Your head is firmly buried in the sand, man.

Comment by O. Bigfoot&lt;/em&gt;

So now are you going to start irritating the crap out of everyone by incessantly repeating &quot;Pearl Harbor&quot; until we want to drown you just to shut you up?

We remember the WTC.  We don&#039;t need you freaks droning 911, 911, 911, like you are doing us some big favor by driving us fricking crazy with it.</description>

		<description>Unfortunately, this rallying cry of &quot;9/11&quot; has been successfully utilized by the right for 6 years now.
Remember the gawd awful presidential ad depicting aggressive wolves about ready to attack?  Pathetic, but it worked, as the think tank (Rove?) knew the ultimate emotion to play upon...fear. And the majority (?) fell for it.
Giuliani knows his only claim to fame was being the unfortunate mayor of NYC during our darkest hour since 12/7.  He rides it like a retired athlete whose past glory came by pinch hitting the game winning run in the World Series, his only hit. Yet he holds on to that memory, because that&#039;s all he&#039;s got.
I&#039;m no Rudy fan, but I do have to say this.  If you want to gain respect, focus on other events besides 9/11. You did what any other respected leader would have done in that situation (coward, &quot;deer in the headlights&quot; Bush aside)
I&#039;m off my soap box (and lunch is done)
Have a great day, everyone!!</description>
