"Giuliani Defends Clinton on Anti-Terror"
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani defended Bill Clinton on Wednesday over the former president's counterterrorism efforts, saying recent criticism on preventing the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks is wrong.

Political bickering over which president - Clinton or George W. Bush - missed more opportunities to prevent the attacks has been escalating since Clinton gave a combative interview on "Fox News Sunday" in which he defended his efforts to kill Osama bin Laden.

"The idea of trying to cast blame on President Clinton is just wrong for many, many reasons, not the least of which is I don't think he deserves it," Giuliani said in response to a question after an appearance with fellow Republican Charlie Crist, who is running for governor. "I don't think President Bush deserves it. The people who deserve blame for Sept. 11, I think we should remind ourselves, are the terrorists - the Islamic fanatics - who came here and killed us and want to come here again and do it."

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice challenged Clinton's claim that he did more than many of his conservative critics to pursue bin Laden, and she accused the Democrat of leaving no comprehensive plan to fight al-Qaida.

Giuliani said he believed Clinton, like his successor, did everything he could with the information he was provided.

1. Somewhat reasonable remarks by Rudy
which will lose him quite a few more GOP primary votes.

2. First of all - that is on the mark

3. Like clockwork, you could set your watch by the freeps
Here's (what is almost) the 1st 12 consecutive posts:

Stick a fork in rudy, he's done. Lol...

What? What? WHAT?????
Rudy, Rudy, Rudy......

This is why I would never vote for Giuliani. Billy Clintoon couldn't lead a flock of sheep much less our nation under God that is America...

Rudy Giuliani defended Bill Clinton
Thats all for me, Rudy can go to HE11...

He was never a contender...despite the money spent, adoring press, and loon moderate Freepers ready to tear your head off for saying so....

Another idol with clay feet crumbling.
Snap, crackle, pop......

Rudy! Please Seek Help!...

Just one more reason to avoid Rudy in `08....

Giuliani must be borrowing the Keith Olbermann knee pads. Hell, Clinton is getting Lewinskys from the strangest people. To have anything nice to say about such a dirt-bag is bizarre....

Rudy Rudy Rudy......what could you be thinking!

Giuliani the adulterous grabber pandering to 'toon lovers. I'm not surprised....

If Guillianni really believes that he is more stupid than I formerly gave him credit for being.
Too stupid to be president thats for sure....
