Rudy Giuliani, when in the history of war did a country ever invade another country and tear it to shreds for no reason? I can answer that. However, I don't think you'd like my answer. Remember September 11th Rudy? Remember how the world reached out to us?

What have we become?

We're not at war. President Bush and Congress are just playing political games to save their own asses.

Too intellectual for Rudy? Because it is an appropriate comment - we all suspend disbelief when we watch fictional drama, for example. Or is Rudy really just portraying himself as a regular guy, like W does so often, and when someone tries to present an intelligent rational position, they retreat from an intellectual discussion on the issue then counter-attack with the "Aw shucks I'm just a country boy" BS.

Rudy I will answer both your questions. First question what Hillary meant was generals have been lying for Bush ever since this war started. Remember when Bush was dodging flak after putting up the mission accomplished banner, the white house finally admitted they had made the banner but the ship had asked them to make it. Then the ships captain told his lie and said yes we asked them to make it.Next general Franks said the banner was his idea. It has been established that if you disagree with Bush you leave your stars on the table. Look at the generals who have retired early to get the muzzle off. I think when the democrats take over in 09 they should offer to reinstate those honorable jmen if they wish to be reinstated.

Rudy's right! Ms. Clinton and Senator Obama consciously chose to sacrifice the morale of our troops and the reputation of our military leaders to gain the endoresment of moveon.org.

Mark Wittmer, Alden, Minnesota — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 23:01:51 GMT

Making comments that would question a Generals integrity is not becomming of a prospective president--especially in public. It undermines our country's strength. Every person deserves to maintain respect and if you do not give respect to a subordinate they will only loose respect for you. Hillary definately hurt any chance for her to have our military have faith in her--however, yes respect in the military is commanded but true strength comes from complete respect and she will have none making those comments. As far as Obama's comment on advertising a time table for a pull-out he is just showing us all how very immature, naieve and irresponsible he would be leading our country.

As a representative of NY, she has every right to question a military commander who parrots the White House line, and who presents facts selectively and disingenuously. Indeed, it is her obligation to her office. It's not hard to understand a control freak like Giuliani being critical; like our arrogant President, he does not deal well with people challenging his pontifications and "authority". Rudy forgets he's running for elctive office, not dictator. Just one more petty Republican echo challenging the patriotism & integrity or anyone who dares challenge their orthodoxy and incompetence.

Let me explain it to you one more time Rudy. We won the war. We invaded Iraq and defeated their army, disbanded their army, removed and killed all of the government leaders, seized all of the government buildings and assets, seized all the WMDs, built and manned huge military bases. We are now occupiers of the country. Those occupied Iraqis resent it and are in armed resistance. They want us to leave. If we announce that we are leaving in a definite short timetable, why in the world would they jeapordize the withdrawal and risk their lives by attacking us. If we say we are staying indefinitely then they have no recourse but to fire away until we change our mind. People who say we are staying long term are the ones putting our troop in danger. The only thing we lose by leaving is the wet dream of benefitting from the spoils of war.

I voted first for JFK. JFK told lies, but I didn't mind. LBJ was another one who probably outdid Bill at fooling around with women, but his lies at least got us some Civil Rights laws passed. Then, we get to Bill and Hilary, who are currently outdoing what someone called 'The Liar in Chief,' George W Bush. I think Bill and Hilary probably are the most prolific liars and Bill probably broke all records for chasing women. Nonetheless, he was a good president.

On the other hand, Hilary has some pretty dark secrets in her past, including the radical groups she belonged to that committed at least one murder (Oakland School Administrator).

Could someone please, please, please find a person of any party who can distinguish the truth from lies.We have one democrat and one republican so far that does not have these disturbing serial liar tendencies, and they are not anyone who has been in the White House in any capacity.

Hilary has NO moral standing that would excuse her for showing disrespect to a US Army commander. We can oppose the war without disrespecting the troops.

"Rudy Giuliani, when in the history of war did a country ever invade another country and tear it to shreds for no reason?"

Right, because that's exactly how it happened... Just because you don't agree with the reasons doesn't mean there aren't any. I get a kick out of how the libs cry out with the same old emotionally charged and empty phrases like "he lied!" or the idea that we've all been tricked some how, when they've been tricked by thier own spinsters and propaghanda mills. Hating Bush is a pop culture phenomenon. We've all been worked up into a frenzy of irresponsible wordplay. I can't count how many times I've heard Bush compared to Hitler and his concentration camps. When talking about Bush, you can say anything you want, and are encouraged by many to make it as damaging and outlandish as possible. I mean, really, should I have to sit down and explain the differences between Hitler and Bush to people who are capable of legally driving a motor vehicle? When is it time for libs to take a deep breath and really listen to what they say? Scratch out "libs" and replace it with "us."

It seems like everybody is content to spit out the same old tired word games, and it's disgusting. Who benefits? Is it really worth your personal integrity to get your guy elected?

People quickly assume that the military will turn against Clinton because of her questioning of Petreaus. Don't be surprised to see generals and other retired military leaders lining up against Bush, Petreaus and the Iraq war. Clinton knows and has stated that our military has and continues to perform well. The problem is the Iraqi government does not. Her statement about suspending disbelief was about how well the surge can continue to work without political agreements between the Iraqi factions. Instead of Crocker testifying beside Petreaus, it should have been Condi Rice, she is in charge of diplomacy. They left her at home because Bush knows if she says the same things Crocker did, no one would believe her. His prayer is everything is on Petreaus' shoulders because people hate to see our military leaders criticized. Poor Petreaus is caught in an evil political trap by an administration that would rather say it was right, than do the right thing by our men and women in uniform. Please remember that most of these men and women are under 25 years old. They are wonderful KIDS who blindly follow their leaders without questioning authority. This is what young kids do, and why the administration is happy to have them taking bullets while they potificate about democracy in mesopotamia.

Nuanced sounds alot like a camel jockey version of Tokyo Rose. Anything to subvert our government and society. First off,I'm no Rudy fan, but he's better than any of those treasonous, sell-out America morons that the Democrats are forcing down our throats.
Wether it's scuz bucket Hilary, or any of the morons like Edwards,Obama or Gore, the sick beat goes on.
For the bird brains like nuanced and the other terrorist loving tools that posted earlier, I suggest you go back and review the tape of Bush's address to the nation on 9/20/2001. As both sides of Congress stood and cheered almost every sentence he spoke, he spelled out how the War On Terrorism would be a long,protracted affair that was, like previous wars, going to cost many lives. He said we would seek them out wherever they hide and plot against us, and we would destroy them. The Congress cheered wildly,eyes filled with tears. Everyone was on the same page...we were gonna go kick some heathen ass.
But how quickly the lives of those lost on 9/11
were forgotten. Six years latter we are still in a battle for our very survival as a free nation.Islamic radical terrorists need to be stomped out anywhere they can be found.Bending over, grabbing your ankles and asking al qaeda to be gentle with you is not going to get the job down. The scary thing is that the entire Democratic Party and their idiot mouthpieces seem to want just that.

I am not a Rudy fan, but I will say this. You people seem to be commenting on something you have little knowledge of. The fact of the matter is, when this war started the vast majority of Americans (senators, congressman, and most of all YOU ALL) were behind this effort. Now, I am a United States Marine and I have done my time in Iraq and I will deffinetly be going back. I can tell you what the air smells like and I can tell you what the voices of the people sound like over there when they say thank you for what we have done. Ofcourse ya'll wouldn't know that because ya'll haven't been there and ya'll get your "facts" from tainted sources. Heres a news flash for you folks. Politicians are all a little less than honest. They all have an agenda. Back to my point. George Bush is OUR leader and WE were behind him when this started. I have friends that are dead and many americans can relate to that. You all take your life here for granted. To pull out will accomplish nothing. To stay and win will give it cause. I can say that, maybe you don't agree but what the hell. Politicians will always follow the popular belief of the people. Look at your senators. They are blind with fear like a dog with it's tail tucked between it's legs. All because of you. The blood of your americans and the Iraqi people is not on the hands of one person. But everyone of us. We are all americans and we should be together in this. Right now one of my brothers is lying on the ground dying on a dirty street 7,000 miles away while you all sit in the comfort of your home and crtiticize. Fore shame.

Boy, it sures seems OBL sure got the republicans goat with his recent video ranting. He only said the things he said to piss the republicans off so they would think the central war is in Iraq. Why would anyone believe what this murderous thug would say anyway.

Watch what happens. The country implodes, Iran rolls in, Kurds massacred, mass eradication of any and all who did not perform their Islamic duty to kill our men and women in uniform. Those that helped to try and bring peace and safety by helping us, will not live to see our next election.

During the past couple of days, many Congressional members interrogating General Petraeus used phrases such as “I’m not sure the American people are going to buy into that.”, “now it’s time for the senate and the American people to evaluate what has been achieved”, “there’s been little improvement” “the government is dysfunctional” Referring to the lack of progress in Iraq. “We (referring to General Petraeus) failed on our own standard we set up last January and that’s why a lot of us (Congress) are frustrated, where do we go from here?”

Here’s a [simple] question Congress...why aren’t you just as concerned what Americans think when we repeatedly tell you we do not want open borders nor, do we do want amnesty for “illegal” aliens? Congress, you haven’t been able to curb “illegal” immigration into this country for the past 20, 30, 40 years The U.S. currently has around 20-million “illegal aliens” and they are still entering by the thousands daily/weekly. Let’s see you meet your own bench-mark to build the 800-mile border-fence which you approved and President Bush signed into law a year ago. In summary Congress, you are no more functional than the Iraqi government is when it comes to meeting bench-marks. Why do you do it Congress...embarrass yourself on national television.

Rudy,

General Petraeus is a big boy and can take Sen. Clinton's comments. If he can't, why is he in the position he is in? She wasn't questionning his integrity, only whether his testimony was truly independent of the "commander-in-chief". The Petraeus and Crocker "dog and pony show" was hardly convincing.

"When in the history of war had an army ever given its enemy a timetable of retreat?"

I thought that is what Petraeus did in announcing the 30,000 or so reduction by mid-2008, the first step in a U.S. withdrawal. If the GOP is in as much political trouble in mid-2008 as they are now, the withdrawal will continue regardless of conditions on the ground.

Rudy blasts Hillary over Petraeus

Stanley — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 13:49:16 GMT

The answer to Giuliani's question of "When in the history of war had an army ever given its enemy a timetable of retreat?" is, when the war is a mistake in the first place! No weapons of mass distruction and no links to the terrorist attacks of september 11th. Going into a war on using 9/11 as a platform to drum up suppport on false pretenses, spending BILLIONS of tax payer dollars that could have been used for healthcare or the for problems in America that we now say "We don't have the money".
I am tired of the polititions and the blowhards that can only say "It's Hillory/Bill Clintons fault". You don't have anything left than that?

"On the other hand, Hilary has some pretty dark secrets in her past, including the radical groups she belonged to that committed at least one murder (Oakland School Administrator)." Some jerk here calls the author of this bullshit their, "hero".

Some crazy sumbitches over here, huh? No evidence that she kills babies and drinks their blood?

This is the same stripe of excrement that tries to paint Obama as a Muslim agent, waiting to take over the country for the Jihadists, and has as much merit, meaning less than none. Stuff like this is kind of a litmus test for nut case city.

Hillary Clinton's Past

Published: November 10, 1996

To the Editor:

I have one quibble with James B. Stewart's otherwise excellent review of ''The Seduction of Hillary Rodham,'' by David Brock (Oct. 13).

Mr. Stewart writes: ''In her early years Mr. Brock uncovers numerous ties to left-wing, even Communist causes that will no doubt prove grist for the conservative mill.'' What I found, in a close reading of Mr. Brock's book for a joint television appearance from which he subsequently withdrew, was a series of unproven McCarthyite insinuations through which Mr. Brock attempts to bestow upon the First Lady leftist credentials that she has (unfortunately) failed to earn.

Speaking of Mrs. Clinton's tenure on the New World Foundation, Mr. Brock notes that the fund supported the Institute for Policy Studies, which ''had ties to the Communist movement.'' Just what do the words ''had ties to'' mean in this sentence? Ronald Reagan ''had ties to the Communist movement.'' Indeed, he met with its leader on a regular basis. If Mr. Brock has proof that the institute acted in any way unpatriotically, he should produce it. (By the way, where is the evidence that Mrs. Clinton in any way participated in New World's laudable decision to finance the institute?)

Similarly, four pages later, Mr. Brock notes that Mrs. Clinton's friend and ally Marian Wright Edelman ''was a member of the board of SANE/ Freeze, a leading disarmament group, and she has been affiliated with the Washington School, a project of the Institute for Policy Studies.'' Again, what does the word ''affiliated'' mean here? My guess is that Mrs. Edelman gave a talk at the school, as many liberals and conservatives have done in the past. What's his point? And what's wrong with SANE/ Freeze? And what does all this have to do with Mrs. Clinton?

Mr. Brock has managed to produce a book that is not even up to the quality of his previous one, in which he referred to Anita Hill as ''a bit nutty and a bit slutty.'' Quite an achievement, that.

Anyone who buys into bullshit like Hillary being a commie plant, or Obama being, "The Manchurian Candidate", of the jihadists, is a nutcase who shouldn't be allowed near anything sharp. Too bad keyboards aren't sharp.

We Americans were once loved across the world. Bush and other arrogant silver-spooned repubs have made us look like idiots to any reasonably thinking person. I have never been so ashamed to be an American. If you would study history you would see that we have incited all our problems with mideast because of our dependence on oil and our desire to get them to worship our God (the Almighty dollar). The bottom line is this...if we would leave them alone they will leave us alone. If we continue this stupidity we will be engaged in a war of hate with muslims much like that of the jews and palestinians. It will carry on for generations and many, many people on both sides will die and hate will keep on perpetuating like a gene being passed on from parent to child until the hate is so strong that the conflict will never end. History has taught that the mideast can hold a grudge for a very long time. Lets find another way to end this because the current plan was considerably flawed from the get go. Education not annihilation!

joe toms river nj: Education and progressive thinking are everything. Many in this country haven't a clue about anything. And because of that, they end up being racists and don't even realize it. I run across this every single day.

Great post. Thank you.

"...Ha Ha Ha
I find it funny that the above comments are just a tad left-leaning.
I love it, you are so scared!
She has NO chance against Rudy. ....."

Look again, Will, sc.
If the election were held today, Hillary would beat "Gigolo Rudy 'G'" head to head.
Sorry.....

George....you know how it is bro'.
This is the same typically republiCANT crappola we hear every 4 years.
"Al Gore had a body guard in Vietnam; John Kerry wounded himself; Hillary did this, Hillary did that,... blah...blah...blah"
Never a bit of truth to any of it.
But, the right wing-nuts figure the more times they repeat the same lie, and the louder they say it....the more it will be accepted as truth.
I'm glad I'm not the only person who recognizes this stuff. If you see it too, that means other people do as well.
Accordingly, it's going to be harder for the CANTservative B.S. artists on the air, in the print media, and likewise on message boards to "sell" this kinda' stuff in '08.'

"iraq makes this country look like some fascist beast hell bent on world domination"

If anyone missed my initial post, they should read it now and read what I have quoted above... It's a prime example. World Domination? Are we taking thier land? Are we taking ownership of Iraq? Which is the next country on our list? I suppose you'll say Iran or North Korea... You're right sir, we are out to take over the world.

Give me a break. The problem here, is that I don't actually think he believes what he says. I believe he wishes the war had never happened, I believe he hates Bush with a passion, but I think because of this he feels like he can, and should say anything to discredit both, regardless of the small "details".

Facism? World Domination? Just because they sound good to you, doesn't mean they have a purpose in your arguments. I realize speech is free, but that doesn't mean you get to abandon responsibility and integrity.

Don't you guys ever ask yourself why Bush is still in office? It's because most Dems are like you, and are too busy shouting out garbage to tether thier arguments to reality. Too much of what is said about Bush lies with assumptions. You have made a mediocre man larger than life. A balloon of hot air, with all of you at the bottom filling it up.

Hillary Clinton is nothing but a liar and a cheat..she doesnt care about anything but her own agenda. She has a serious case of envy, and since her husbands run in the White House all she's wanted was to be president. I am all for a woman president just not her. I think she is condescending and a liar. When she was the first lady she lied, hid papers, cheated...but amazingly that was all blown out of proportion in her words to attack her and her husband. Now she is taking money from a criminal and states that if she finds out the money this criminal raised for her from other people (who check out) she'll keep it.. One of the news people I can remember who stated Hillary is just like her husband, doesnt care where she gets the money or who she associates with as long as it benefits her. Is this really someone we want running the country. I hope no

Pat: When,in the history of war,have we telegraphed and announced our intention to retreat from our enemies at a specific date? I will settle for one instance. McCain is correct about one thing at least. An individual who is afraid of MOVEON has no business leading this nation. An individual who places more trust in wanted fugitives from justice than serving four-star generals whose son is preparing to join in this war has no business leading this nation.

Thanks MK,MO -- I find it amazing how many people on these blogs continue to insist that we went into Iraq because of 9/11. I think the most notorious outrageous comment Rumsfeld ever made was right after the invasion. A reporter asked him about the many Iraqi civilians being killed and he answered "Ask me that question again when more than 3000 have died." Clearly he was saying we were there to kill people in revenge for the 9/11 deaths and he wasn't particular about who we killed. He also made the comment that the torturing at Abu Graib was no worse than the stress he had to go through in a typical workday. He has to be one of the biggest monsters alive today. I believe many people were glad that we were invading some country and killing people just so that we could show the world what happens if you make us mad.

Way to go Rudy – keep it up. This is a military general who has earned the respect due him. Hillary doesn't have to agree with his report; after all, it’s her right to speak her mind. What is truly saddening is that she has clearly shown us HER true colors by disrespecting a member of the military in this fashion. How much easier would it have been to have voiced her disagreements without calling a man who’s proven his loyalty to this country over and over again a liar in this way? How much better press would she have gotten? Couldn't she still have gotten her point(s) across?
