Giuliani: New York City Survived 9/11 Attacks Because Of Me
Giuliani: New York City Survived 9/11 Attacks Because Of Me
In a Wall Street Journal op-ed today on homeland security, Rudy Giuliani references September 11 nine separate times. In one of those instances, he claims he prepared New York City well to “withstand the 9/11 attack“:
One reason New York City was able to withstand the 9/11 attack was that we were prepared to meet 21st-century security threats. … And while we didn’t anticipate the specific scenario of 9/11, the constant practice, and the relentless follow-up from actual emergencies, certainly helped in its aftermath.
Jim Riches, a deputy New York City fire chief who lost a son at the Trade Center, has a very different perspective:
“Lives were lost because of the lack of preparation and (Giuliani’s) lack of leadership,” said Riches, who spent 16 days in a coma after the attacks due to respiratory failure. “All he did was run that day, and get on TV and provide a calming influence for the United States of America. And they made him a hero.”
Because of Giuliani’s failures, first responders were forced to use old radio equipment on 9/11 that prevented them from hearing evacuation orders when the World Trade Center buildings were about to collapse. The radios had malfunctioned eight years earlier, during the 1993 attacks on the WTC.
Giuliani claimed last month, “It would have been impossible for me to have those radios ready.” It would not have been impossible. After the 1993 incident, Giuliani gave Motorola a $14-million no-bid contract to produce faulty radios that had to be taken out of service in March 2001. Brave New Films released this web video detailing the negative impact Giuliani’s no-bid decision had on firefighters on 9/11. Watch it:
9/11 first responders have not only criticized Giuliani for failing to provide them with proper radios, but also for ditching body-recovery efforts only 24 hours after recovering tens of millions of dollars in gold and for misleading them about the air quality at Ground Zero.

January 9th, 2008 at 10:40 amRudy, you only got 9% in the NH primaries. Yet you are still performing the same song and dance in some naive belief this will increase your audience.
Your act isn’t even in the Top 40 anymore. Find something new.
January 9th, 2008 at 10:41 amNew York survived because New York is a living breathing entity. It would have gone on no matter what…
January 9th, 2008 at 10:42 amRudy is a legend in his own mind. In actuality, this comment is just about as ludicrous as GDumbya claiming that he is the decider.
January 9th, 2008 at 10:43 amOr did New York survive Guiliani??
Rudy better get a better speech writer quick!!!
January 9th, 2008 at 10:44 amHoly God.
Give me a freakin’ BREAK!!!!!
Now, if you all will kindly excuse me, I’m going to go puke until I pass out.
January 9th, 2008 at 10:44 amGood. Now they can stop data mining.
January 9th, 2008 at 10:45 amFunny, I didn’t see any of those buildings “withstand” their destruction. Okay, NYC didn’t sink into the sea but I doubt if that had anything to do with Giuliani.
January 9th, 2008 at 10:47 amYou’d think by now his advisors would tell him to shut his mouth about 9/11 because it has to be annoying the crap out of his supporters and critics by now.
January 9th, 2008 at 10:48 amActually, Rudy just probably got his noun, verb, and 911 in the wrong order. What he meant to say is “I survive because of 911″.
January 9th, 2008 at 10:49 amGeez! Put a sock in it Rudy.
January 9th, 2008 at 10:51 amYou are a phony, you are toast.
And he’s obviously forgotten the fact that he ramrodded the placement of the emergency command center in 7 World Trade. When that idea was criticised, he dismissed it as partisan idiocy. I’d Love to know what world he’s living in, ’cause it obviously ain’t this one!
January 9th, 2008 at 10:51 amIn the video it is stated that the police’s radios worked; and, no police died. So, what kind of radio did they have? And, why wouldn’t the fire department not use the same manufacturer? Are the police’s radios Motorola or not?
January 9th, 2008 at 10:51 amAt the risk of getting banned, I must ask: Why does TP continue to repeatedly use misleading headlines? The term Rudy used was “WE†not “ME.â€

Chshhhhh… “Rudy, Rudy? Come in” Chshhh… Chshhh… “Rudy? Come…” Chshhh… “Here me now?” Chshhhh…
Prepared he was NOT!

January 9th, 2008 at 11:00 amGiuliani needs to see a therapist.
Any mayor would have done what you did and more…Please Giuliani…quit playing the hero of 9/11 tragedy in every moment of your life.
If you want to live like that..that’s your problem…,but don’t keep reminding us that you are the undisputed hero of that day.
Seek help…

Your 1st sentence was correct. Rudy really does believe that he is a legend-in his own mind.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:03 amNow, the big question, what will he wear on his next primary stop, that strapless cocktail dress, or a full gown.
Jon Stewart carving up Frum:

stewart – “you, you should check into YOUR guy (rudy)”
w00t!
January 9th, 2008 at 11:05 am(gawd i missed him…)
Number of seconds left before every person in US gets tired of JulieAnnie’s constant reference/claim/glom on 9/11.
0.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:06 amAs a resident I seem to recall ordinary citizens directing traffic and helping each other out. All the cops and firemen were all downtown.
We survived 9-11 because we’re the mentally toughest city in America. Oh and we hate Rudy.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:09 amYo, Obigmouth – how many black eyes/split lips have you given yourself with those kneejerk reactions, boy…?
Yikes. You remind me of that old joke:
Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this.
Doctor: So, don’t do that.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:14 amAny of you ever run a city? If so, a city the size of New York?
If not, then you have absolutely no basis in experience from which to speak.
Comment by O. Bigfoot — January 9, 2008 @ 11:07 am
This from the fool living in the back country of New Mexico, who hasn’t even a clue about what it’s like to live in a city, much less run one.
Carefully avoiding any of the substance of the criticism, Bigfoot reaches for the most desperate of whines: you can’t say bad things about Rudy because you’re not a mayor. What are you, Bigfoot, 12?
January 9th, 2008 at 11:15 amp.s. how many states the size of New York and/or Illinois have YOU represented, Obigmouth?
I’ll remember to ask you that the next time you post some hate-filled screed against Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.
Have a nice day.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:16 amComment by O. Bigfoot — January 9, 2008 @ 11:07 am
I have no doubt that running a city the size of New York has its challenges, but that’s not the point here.
The point is that we have this blowhard running for President of the United States, and he is touting only his performance in the aftermath of a shocking and tragic terrorist attack as his qualification for the job. And his performance wasn’t spectacular — it was mediocre. Any number of people could have done a better job.
And that aside, the man cannot speak about ANY issue without invoking 9/11. This has made him a parody of himself. How can anybody possibly take him seriously?
January 9th, 2008 at 11:22 amAh, he’s learning the lesson W’s administration has perfected: When the facts don’t fit, simply manufacture reality.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:23 amYes, just the ones that have run a city (sic), are allowed to criticize Giuliani after 9/11 events. I guess checks and balances are a democracy wet dream.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:24 amNew York survived in spite of Rudy.
The south will never vote for a crossdresser. Sorry Bigfoot but that’s a fact jack.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:24 amMy uncle was an FDNY fallen fireman, his son is a retired FDNY fireman, my grandfather was an FDNY fireman, several of my great uncles were FDNY firemen (one, Garrett Langdon, was D/Ch FDNY). Firemen are heroes–9uiliani is not!
January 9th, 2008 at 11:26 amCurious though, why do you spend so much time hammering a candidate who has only garnered support similar to Ron Paul in documentable contests so far? Just need something negative to talk about?
Comment by O. Bigfoot — January 9, 2008 @ 11:07 am
So says the mythical hairy beast that logs on merely to negatively comment on OTHER people’s comments. Pot, kettle, and all that.
Has anyone mentioned lately how profundly stupid O. Bigfoot is?
Back on topic, I know, few agree with me, but the more Rudy mentions 9/11, the more I really think it’s PTSD on a grand scale, combined with a guy who already had a profound ego to begin with. It’s a disorder that manifests itself in different ways – it’s not always lashing out or hiding under beds or thinking your hospital orderly is “Charlie” coming to get ya. People with PTSD can still function in society or in their job (which is why it’s often not diagnosed or suspected), but sooner or later, it breaks the person suffering from it if he or she doesn’t get help.
For once, I can give O. Bigfoot on ONE point – since none of us have ever been mayor of a big city (I assume), no one will know how we would handle the stresses inherent in that job, even when not dealing with a terrorist attack. But the fact that Rudy put on his brave face in the days immediately after 9/11 doesn’t change the fact that his behaviour has become more and more flighty SINCE the aftermath (in other words bigfoot-in-yo’-mouth, you proved the opposite of your intended point – the fact that he a terrorist attack on his city has effed him up so badly proves he doesn’t have the emotional werewithal to handle the highest office in the land were there to be another attack, so it’s best if he goes away).
Rudy’s still living 9/11, whether it’s because he can’t get over the terror or he still yearns for the accolades. His campaign erosion is a boon for America, because you don’t want someone like that with access to the buttont the moment they finally snap.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:28 amahahaha! What delusion and egomania!
The complement to Rudy’s statement regarding his role in 911 should be: AND THE FIREFIGHTERS TO WHOM I KNOWINGLY GAVE FAULTY RADIOS SURVIVED “DESPITE” ME!
January 9th, 2008 at 11:30 amRu “9/11″ dy, What a creep.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:31 amCaptain 9/11 strikes again! Rudy, please just shut the hell up about 9/11. Putting the emergency response center in the world trade center was a brilliant idea, huh dumbf**ck. He’s going to be on his death bed and motion for his family to come closer and whisper his last words “Did you know I was there on 9/11?” What a pathetic tool bag.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:31 amHow much longer do we have to endure the sh_t that comes out this Criminal’s mouth?
I wish this Criminal would crawl into a hole and d–.

Good interview.
I loved the “We have a president Homer!”
January 9th, 2008 at 11:34 amslappy magoo: I agree with the content of your post; however, I am from that area and maintain contact with many New Yorkers today and “their” take on Rudy is far from anything he’s saying or our fascist-complicit press reports or did report during that time. In fact, should Rudy become the candidate, the people of NY are organizing swiftboating ads the likes of which this country has not yet seen. It’s been reported that Rudy ran the other way, in point of fact. The firefighters and first responders on the scene have a diametrically opposite story to narrate when/if they will have their crack at Rudy.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:34 amAnd yet BigAss just yesterday was damn sure that Rudy would do a better job with national security than any of the Democrat candidates. How can you have extraordinary vision on one hand and yet blind to the facts of how poorly Rudy ran the emergency systems.
Again, O. Bigfoot is plain stupid.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:34 amAs far as I’m concerned, the Wall Street Journal is now just another Rupert Murdoch-owned supermarket tabloid. It is no longer a reputable source of information. No one in their right mind would take what Murdoch publishes as factual or accurate.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:37 amKay: I believe it speaks volumes for how far down the rabbit hole (or $hithole as the case may really be!) this country has slid, thanks to this abominable administration. The fact that a known mafioso thug like Rudy Giuliani is being pushed to the fore as a GOP candidate tells the story on why the GOP is tanking faster than the Titanic. What are they down to now? 24%?? And 50% of that 24% are anti-Bush.
I fail to see who’s really propping Rudy up since he doesn’t have much of a following nationally. I believe that our fascist press has decided that they will be the ones to elect our next president which is why Edwards’ successes are downplayed. He’d go after their jugular if he would win!

Comment by Nature Rules — January 9, 2008 @ 11:34 am
It’s interesting to note that it is apparently OK to approve of someone even though you’ve never been mayor of a big city, but it’s not OK to disapprove of someone . . . no, I can’t even figure out how to parse that one because it is soooooo stupid.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:38 amSo the real “Bushies” might number 12% right now?? that’s right….50% of 24% ’tis.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:38 amRudy needs a campaign song: How about revising Huey Long’s? “Every Man a Queen”
January 9th, 2008 at 11:39 amgummitch: Insanity is going through the same motions and expecting a different outcome. Insanity is believing that anything O.Bigfoot has to say makes the first bit of sense….not to mention logical thought processes. When I see his ridiculously inane posts, I simply “consider the source” and move on. His drivel is not worth reading at this point.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:40 amVeritas: You and are always on the same page.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:40 amI love my country but BUT fear my gov’t.
of course, I am starting to feel that this election is all theatre and smoke and mirrors : the real action is what is happening with Cheney and his finger on the trigger re: Iran.
Will we have an election? -Or- will the Nazi Chimp cancel it?
And the bigger questions: Will the bought and sold media care? Will the Consumer Sheeple Society Care?
January 9th, 2008 at 11:44 amWait! Rudy invoking 9/11? Huh, whoda thunkit?
Seriously tho, if one is going to run for president based on 9/11 responses, how about the head or heads of the FAA? Bringing thousands of planes down from the US skies in a matter of hours, preventing possible more attacks! Heroes, I tell ya!
Listen, I think Giuliani did an admiral job as mayor faced with those terrifying acts. His calm demeanor was a welcome site in that chaotic day. But to constantly “whore” himself to 9/11 for political gain (par for the right) is unacceptable, and is the reason why I would never vote for him.
I’m curious, was the mayor of D.C. also prepared for attacks of the 21st Century???
January 9th, 2008 at 11:44 amI have never and never will use the word “admiral” and “Guiliani” in the same sentence.

who ya gonna listen to bigfoot?
January 9th, 2008 at 12:16 pmveritas,
I live @ the Jersey Shore, work on 50th street, and the only reason I wasn’t in NYC on 9/11 was I had vacation days I had to “use or lose.” So I’m familiar with all the concerns people have with Rudy, and the stories of what (supposedly) REALLY happened that day, as well as what his propronents like to consider his strengths. I’ve seen the Greenwald “opposite of ‘Swift Boat’ because it’s the truth” film with the First Responders, and have no doubt plenty of people will be quick to tear Rudy a new one, early and often, were he to get the nomination (whether the media does anything to assist getting the message out is another question).
It doesn’t change my increasing opinion that the guy’s suffering from PTSD. In fact, if he did run away and then covered his ass as quickly as possible to come across as heroic, that would only firm up my opinion for me. The idea that he could be overcompensating for not “really” being the hero he’s been making himself out to be makes a lot of sense to me.
I’m drawing a total brain fart on the novel’s title, but in high school, we were assigned a novel to read about a French lawyer taking a lazy picnic one afternoon when he sees a woman drowning. He’s so relaxed, he doesn’t do anything to stop it, he’s not even fully aware it’s actually happening (you know the Franch and their “picnics” glug glug). Anyway, a local idiot is accused of killing the woman, though the lawyer (vaguely) knows the death was accidental. But between all the townspeope crying out for some kind of justice, for the lawyer to be a hero and vindicate the dead girl’s spirit, AND the lawyer’s tremendouds guilt for not saving the woman in the first place, he successfully prosecutes the innocent man, up to the point very end of the story, where he gets the prosecuted the death penalty.
I dunno, what’s happening to Rudy just reminds me of that story, on a much grander, more frightening scale.
January 9th, 2008 at 12:20 pmI have never and never will use the word “admiral†and “Guiliani†in the same sentence.
Never.

go back to the million dollar speaking engagements and leave the nation alone
January 9th, 2008 at 12:23 pmRudy is riding a dead horse as we see in the polls and votes. Now the 9/11 King has spent his time in Florida selling his book and the lie about his rising for the ashes to save the people of New York City while letting the firefighters and police officers die and continue to die because of his greed. Rudy with all his lies and hard work in Florida is number 4 in the polls. Looks like no ones buying the fake story. Well at lease he has the support of the Bush base of Christians who believe everything the GOP tells them. Look the Bush base of Religious Christian even support Larry Craig, Fingers Foley and others who follow the Lord.

January 9th, 2008 at 12:50 pmThis is what Rudee said yesterday at a conference on urban crime:
“What we don’t see is that freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be,” he said at the forum, sponsored by The New York Post. “Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do.”
He is an awful human being.
January 9th, 2008 at 12:50 pmSure, JDC. Because the terrorists who flew the planes into the buildings are bad, everyone on the other side of the equation is good. Sorry, boyo. It don’t work like that.
Imagine a world in which Bush listened to the pre-war intelligence that suggested an attack was imminent. Imagine a world where Bush treated this as a police matter and got OBL (smashing through Afghanistan) and let diplomacy work on Iraq. Imagine a world where the firefighters had working radios and could communicate with each other and the police dispatch. Imagine a world in which Rudy had been competent and didn’t hand Motorola a contract that ended up falling flat on its face on crunch day.
In short, imagine a world where Republicans are competent. Such a world is not very far removed from our own, but far enough away that none of us will ever reach it. It’d take a science fiction plot device to get us there, because such a world does not exist in our world.
(And give me a Quantum Mirror, please. I’ll gladly trade Bush for Hayes even if that came with the threat of annihalation by Goa’uld and/or Ori..)
January 9th, 2008 at 12:53 pmAny of you ever run a city? If so, a city the size of New York?
If not, then you have absolutely no basis in experience from which to speak.
Comment by O. Bigfoot
Well by extension neither we or Rudy have run the U.S. and have ” absolutely no basis in experience from which to speak”. So I guess we should just let Presidents speak.
January 9th, 2008 at 12:54 pmAnyone who has spent time in NY before, during, and after Rudy before, during or after IX XI have experience and can speak to what they perceive. My perception being in that category is that parts of NY most tourist oriented in NY before Rudy were becoming seedy. During Rudy some of that was cleaned up but mostly it was just pushed up the street. For example Rudy got the durg dealers and other low life mostly out of Times Square. One had to walk a couple blocks past the garment district to make the deal. After Rudy things have improved much more.
On 9/11 anyone with some math skills can realize that the city of NY wasn’t mortally wounded by this. A couple dozen large buildings in a several block area were destroyed. Hundreds of buildings and most of the boroughs had no damage, and no disruption of their viability. The port, the museums, Broadway, Brooklyn, Central Park, the subways, busses, airports, etc. were up and running as soon as the nationwide hysteria calmed enough. Their disruption was not greater than elsewhere in the country as a whole. The fire department was certainly tragically impacted – some would argue due to Rudy’s bad prior decisions, but even their only a small part of their resources were destroyed and the city had sufficient to cope with the routine of firefighting tasks in the rest of the city. Three thousand of over eight million people sadly lost their lives and twenty times that many were displaced. That represents a far smaller fraction than natural disasters in many parts ofthe counrty routinely cause. Last time I checked NY had long before Rudy had disaster housing and evacuation to deal with moving and dealing with more than the number of displaced persons.
Rudy’s main accomplishment before this tragedy was to get kicked out of the mayor mansion due his cheating. He can’t keep his marriage vows and his experience in failing in his family is that on which he is most qualified.
So the president of 9/11 basically just called the American people a bunch of wussies.
Welcome to the Republican Primaries!
January 9th, 2008 at 12:58 pmOf course. His full name is C. Rudolph Giuliani Kent.
The C. stands for Clark.
January 9th, 2008 at 1:00 pmThe man is delusional!
January 9th, 2008 at 1:11 pmMr. Bigfoot, I really intended to avoid your asinine comments considering that from your own admission, you’re a throw-a-rock-and-run blogger and we all know you buckle at the knees when confronted with reality,,,but, you once again post something that’s off topic and something just to provoke others because they don’t march lockstep to your thinking. The issue here isn’t whether Rudy 911 Giuliani ran a city or not but how he’s exploiting that position to imply that he saved the day on September 11 of 2001. He’s claimed to have spent equal time there as the rescuers that worked 16 hour shifts for days on end and that’s been proven to be an outright lie. Granted, people turned to him in a time of need and Time Mag named him “man of the year” but for him to invoke “911″ every other word in an attempt to make himself look like presidential material simply defies dignity. And I don’t care what city he ran.
January 9th, 2008 at 1:18 pmIn Rudy’s mind, he can also jump over tall buildings in a single bound, faster than a speeding bullet, and more powerful than a locomotive.
dripping with sarcasm.

His continual chest thumping as the guardian of 9/11 is getting more sickening by the day.
My ongoing thoughts and prayers go out to all who lost their lives on that day. My disgust grows for all those who have bastardized it for their own gain.
January 9th, 2008 at 2:00 pmWow, I haven’t read about the gold…
January 9th, 2008 at 2:18 pmOK. So now he has progressed from being the sole reason that 9/11 rescues went so well to be the sole reason the NY, NY survived ?
dumb question: considering that NY, NY has many bedroom cities, are there parts of the metro area that are more than 1 block from the WTC ?
January 9th, 2008 at 2:49 pmGiuliani’s is in the race strictly to make the other Repbulicans look palatable, by comparison.
