I suppose we should get the most obvious one out of the way:
"This is the world we live in. It's not this happy, romantic-like world where we'll negotiate with this one, or we'll negotiate with that one and there will be no preconditions, and we'll invite (Iranian President Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad to the White House, we'll invite Osama (bin Laden) to the White House," Giuliani said.
"Hillary and Obama are kind of debating whether to invite them to the inauguration or the inaugural ball," he added.
How Rudy Giuliani has managed to go from being a little local thug to a front-runner for the Republican nomination is a mystery. It can't all be 9/11. Maybe it's my NYC-centric view, but doesn't anyone remember that, on 9/10, nobody would piss on him to put out a fire? And remember what Time magazine said?
He has no foreign policy experience, and he talks about terrorism as if it’s an enemy country on a continent only he knows how to find.
One of his advisors is well-known warmonger Norman Podhoretz, who, on the topic of bombing Iran, says:
First, I want to say that I think the attitude expressed by Fareed Zakaria represents an irresponsible complacency that I think is comparable to the denial in the early ’30s of the intentions of Hitler that led to what Churchill called an unnecessary war involving millions and millions of deaths that might have been averted if the West had acted early enough. […]
So we're endangered by a fourth-rate military power with a GDP the size of Connecticut? Spare me.
This man simply must not become president. If we aren't already in Iran on inauguration day, we would be in a heartbeat. Rudy is a fascist for all time.
He won't be.
He's bald. Apart from Eisenhower, no bald President has been elected since 1836 (Marty van Buren, I think, but he had sideburns long enough to comb over).

The national campaign to turn Rudy Giuliani into a hero after 9/11 was wildly successful.
Plus, he has friends in high places. He has dranken the blood out of the chalice of the NeoCons pledging to do their bidding.

It's almost as if some people just like to hate.
O yeah, they do...

Rudy possibly being president scares me almost as much as the possibility of W refusing to leave!
