Giuliani: Another terror attack in U.S. likely

Giuliani: Another terror attack in U.S. likely

Speaking in Chicago today at an urban affairs forum, former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani warned another large-scale terrorist attack on U.S. soil was likely.

"It's better to assume we will be attacked again and go from there," Giuliani said during a speech at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Giuliani, who served for two terms as mayor of New York—including when terrorists struck on Sept. 11, 2001—was the keynote speaker at the 2nd Annual Mayor Richard J. Daley Urban Forum.

"Sept. 11 removed any last vestige of thinking that we're isolated," Giuliani said. "We have the same strengths and vulnerabilities as just about every place else."

5. Did he get a memo?
Aside from general fear-mongering, I can only (otherwise) assume that he's got an inside track on this one. Bleah.

20. You're probably not far from the truth....
Last year, there was a terrorist bombing in London.

Guess who came out of a subway entrance? On that very day.

You got it right: Rudolph Ghouliani. This was on Yahoo news the next day, so I'm not making it up. I always thought that was strange. What about Ghouliani being mayor of New York when the terrorists hit on 9/11?

I don't have any link; will try to get one.

Couldn't have predicted this in a million years. Nope. No way. Never saw it coming. Who could have imagined such a thing? :eyes:

10. A future attack is theoretically possible, but not necessarily likely.
Terra, terra, terra. Is this gonna be Rudy's campaign theme?

11. How in the world is the news? At some unspecified time, we will be
attacked in some unspecified way by some unspecified person. Wow. That's deep.

I'll do better: we're being attacked by the terrorists "BushCo" constantly. They ignore international treaties, ignore international law, frequently violate domestic laws, lie, wage aggressive war, torture war prisoners, and cause untold suffering to civilians.

Why not start by doing something about THESE terrorists? (Duct tape them all together in a public place?)

13. He was there to capitalize on 9/11, and he was RIGHT THERE in London...

..last year coincedentally...So the common sense approach is to be anywhere but where he is...in case he has his own personal trifecta... :eyes:

15. Thanks for adding that fact to the mix- I was just about to do the same-
Edited on Tue Apr-04-06 03:32 PM by BeHereNow
In addition, does any one here recall the threads
about the "company" that was rehearsing for
attacks EXACTLY as they happened that day?

I think I still have some in my bookmarks-
I remember one in particular that had a link
to a radio interview on the BBC with someone
from the "company."

The whole thing creeps me out to this day.

18. They were rehearsing in NY and the Pentagon on the day as well...
..something the MSM has never followed up on...

Hmmm, Rudy in both places at the same time, when rehearsals are being carried out simulating terrorist attacks....How long are THOSE odds?

19. If we're to assume they're going to "get us" over here and we
are supposed to take that as a given, why the hell are we wasting our time fighting them "over there"?

26. it won't be long before Rudy is tapping McCain on the shoulder...
to cut in for his turn to dance with Falwell and the like. The power concentrated into the executive branch since 9/11 is more than Rudy can resist. He'll sell his soul to get a crack at it.

23. Really Rudy? When do you and the boys at FEMA have the date set up for?
It's easy to strut like the know-it-all when you're in on the planning.

27. Straw man alert!
Who ever thought that America was isolated? Hmmm?

"Oceans don't protect us" wasn't true in 1812 and it isn't true now.
