Is Guliani unfairly taking credit for the 9/11 response when he actually screwed it up?

Question

Apparently, many in the FDNY believe so.

Answer 1

I've said it before and I'll say it again, i think that Guliani should avoid reminding anyone that he was in charge during 9-11 and a great deal of the decision making afterwards, why people seem to think that he did anything resembling a good job is beyond me...

I mean just the health care and disability benefit denials to 9-11 first responders should be enough for everyone to hate the man, not to even get started on every other effed up thing he did...

Answer 2

It becomes unfair when he drones on it endlessly. Unfair to hear

This is Guilianis genius foreign policy
Let’s take just one of Giuliani’s insights—“For 15 years, the de facto policy of both Republicans and Democrats has been to ask the U.S. military to do increasingly more with increasingly less. The idea of a post-Cold War ‘peace dividend’ was a serious mistake—the product of wishful thinking and the opposite of true realism.”

Bandow’s rejoinder:

In an essay filled with silly nonsense, this statement stands out as being uniquely stupid. Between 1980 and 2000 the Soviet Union disintegrated, the Warsaw Pact disbanded, Maoism disappeared from China, the former Soviet republics and Eastern European satellites gravitated towards America and Europe, and Vietnam opened to the West. As a result, the United States found itself allied with every major industrialized state as well as many former communist countries while, as Colin Powell famously put it, America’s enemies were down to Cuba and North Korea. In this new world, Giuliani believes that the U.S. shouldn’t have reduced military spending even a little?

He deserves to use 9/11 much more than Hypocrite Clinton who bashes people for using it in ads then uses it in her very first campaign ad.

Answer 5

"Screwed it up?" LMAO! Yeah right! I was around, adult and infront of the TV, off of work on 9/11/01 - 9/22/01. I was watching. Rudy was the best man to be Mayor during those trying times. You can't rewrite history.
