Withdrawn / Giuliani on the “War on Terror” & Iraq
Words: Giuliani believes that Iraq is one battle in the overall “war on terror” and that we should keep open the options of unilaterally invading Pakistan and using tactical nukes on Iran. He also advocates active reconstruction of the Iraqi infrastructure . “Part of what we have to do, and we haven’t done right, is take on that responsibility of nation-building.” He also argues that the focus should be on objectives not timetables - and that the objective is “victory in Iraq”.
Actions: Giuliani called for action in the “war on terror” before the United Nations in 2001, asking members to “recognize that there is no room for neutrality on the issue of terrorism”.
UPDATE: Mayor Rudy Giuliani received lots of criticism for over-exploiting Sept 11th, 2001. This commercial his team put together for Florida reflects that tendency.
Mayor Giuliani’s response to Rep Ron Paul, however, helped advance his case for the War on Terror.
