The Giuliani Jitters

Submitted by Jeffrey, Nov 16, 2006 10:16

Rudy Giuliani is one of the few politicians who understand that Jihad terrorism is not based on foreign policy. He gets this basic issue of our survival in fighting Jihadist terrorists, that untold other politicians do not get. Rudy Giuliani understands that Jihadist terrorism is based on ideology, not foreign policy.

After 9/11 attacks, Saudi Arabian Prince Alwaleed came to donate $10M, and also to blame US foreign policy for Jihad. Alwaleed said: "I believe the government of the United States should re-examine its policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stance toward the Palestinian cause," he added, calling for an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and Gaza Strip. "Our Palestinian brethren continue to be slaughtered at the hands of Israelis as the world (looks the other way)," said Alwaleed.

When informed of Alwaleed's comments, Giuliani retorted: "I entirely reject that statement. The people who did it lost any right to ask for justification for it when they slaughtered four or five thousand innocent people, and to suggest that there is a justification for it only invites this happening in the future".

This is why Rudy Giuliani is the ONLY qualified candidate for President of the United States.
