Firefighters Claim Giuliani Ignored Needs After 9/11

March 9 (Bloomberg) -- Rudy Giuliani, who has parlayed his identity as the hero of Sept. 11 into a front-running presidential candidacy, was attacked by the nation's firefighters union for rushing to remove debris at New York's World Trade Center site before many remains had been recovered.

The International Association of Fire Fighters union said it wants its 260,000 U.S. members to know the ``real story'' of the former New York mayor, contending that Giuliani sought to curtail search-and-recovery efforts at the World Trade Center site after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, that claimed the lives of 2,752 people, including 343 union fire fighters.

``Mayor Giuliani's actions meant that fire fighters and citizens who perished would either remain buried at Ground Zero forever, with no closure for families, or be removed like garbage and deposited at the Fresh Kills Landfill,'' said union President Harold Schaitberger in a draft letter to affiliates.

Looks like Giuliani is getting swift boated by firefighters. The difference being that the firefighters might not be lying.

1. It's going to be hard for Rudy to "play" the firemen of 9/11. . .
It will be hard for him to "play" a lot of NYers. WE know what this turd's about.
