Handling of 9/11? How about key "ROLE" in orchestrating?
A little strongly worded perhaps?
Giuliani's 9/11 "Handling" May Fuel Campaign Debate
By Daniel Trotta
Wed Feb 7, 1:06 PM ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former New York mayor and presidential hopeful Rudolph Giuliani gained fame for his performance after the September 11 attacks, but charges that he also made serious blunders could give ammunition to rival candidates.
Giuliani, a Republican, has all but formally declared his candidacy and polls show he is a strong contender, largely because of his steely and comforting leadership that day in 2001.
But Giuliani also made "mistakes" in handling the city's emergency services that may have cost lives, say the co-authors of the 2006 book
"Grand Illusion: The Untold Story of Rudy Giuliani and 9/11."
Of the 2,992 people killed in the hijacked plane attacks, 2,759 died at New York's World Trade Center.[/size]

That won't stop him entering the White House if he is destined to. After all, George W Bush was ranked 51st when it came to hospital spending while he was governor of Texas. |

Well, if he's the man the global elite have chosen for the job then yes; you could have pictures of him diddling crippled poodles plastered all over the internet & he'd still sit as the appointed commander in chief

I think that he has too much personal baggage for his campaign to go very far. Just consider his marriages...
Giuliani has been married three times.
Giuliani's first marriage was to educator Regina Peruggi on October 26, 1968. It was annulled in 1982 after fourteen years, according to Giuliani, because he discovered he and his wife were second cousins[54] and did not have the Roman Catholic church dispensation thus needed.[55] The couple did not have any children.
Giuliani's second marriage was to local television personality Donna Hanover, on April 15, 1984. They had two children, son Andrew (born January 30, 1986) and daughter Caroline (born 1989). Andrew became a familiar sight with his father at New York Yankees games, of whom Rudy Giuliani is an enthusiastic fan; Andrew also was an accomplished junior golfer.
In May of 2000, the New York Daily News broke news of his relationship to Judith Nathan, and Giuliani then called a press conference to announce that he intended to separate from Donna Hanover.[56] [57] [58] Hanover, however, had apparently not been told about his plans before his press conference.[59] Previously, Giuliani had hinted at the relationship by referring to Nathan as his "very good friend." Giuliani went on to praise Nathan as a "very, very fine woman," and said about his marriage with Donna Hanover, that "over the course of some period of time in many ways, we've grown to live independent and separate lives." The mayor's assertion was contradicted three hours later by his former wife, who said, "I had hoped that we could keep this marriage together. For several years, it was difficult to participate in Rudy's public life because of his relationship with one staff member." Hanover was referring to Cristyne Lategano, the mayor's former communications director, who a 1997 Vanity Fair article had said Guiliani had a romantic relationship with.[60] The mayor and Lategano denied those allegations in the past, and continue to deny them now.
After this, Giuliani moved out of Gracie Mansion and into an apartment of two gay friends of his.[61] Giuliani filed for divorce against Hanover in October 2000[62], and an unpleasant public battle broke out between representatives of the two.[63] Giuliani and Hanover finally settled their acrimonious divorce case in July 2002, with Giuliani making a $6.8 million settlement to Hanover and granting her custody of their children.[64]
Giuliani subsequently married Judith Nathan on May 24, 2003, and thus gained one stepdaughter, Whitney.

I am imagining that he may be chosen as the Republican candidate as he looks like the type who can continue the war in Iraq, with or without a wife or different personal background, being one of those important faces when it comes to September 11.
Unfortunately, he has a genuine chance. |

I don't think Giuliani can get his party's nomination now that this video of him in drag being kissed by Donald Trump is widely circulating on YouTube. Even though the setting was a press roast, the image is just not presidential (although he could still be Director of the FBI ...)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IrE6FMpai8 |

Giuliani "Rapped" By 9/11 Firefighters
by Stephen Collinson
Wed Mar 14, 6:45 PM ET
WASHINGTON (AFP) - Raw memories of September 11 rocked the race for the White House Wednesday, as a firefighters union accused Republican pacesetter Rudolph Giuliani of treating corpses of fallen comrades like "garbage."
Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton was meanwhile acclaimed as a heroine, at the largest-cattle call of the 2008 campaign so far, as 10 hopefuls vied for the key endorsement of the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF).
While the horror of the 2001 terror strikes may be fading, firefighters, who lost more than 340 comrades in the World Trade Center inferno, showed the political symbolism of the disaster was as potent as ever.
Two large posters of September 11 scenes towered over the hall, one reading "Never forget," the other "Always Remember."

What is Andrew Giuliani doing now? Has he kept his nose clean?
He was a wild little bastard. |
