Thank you for a reasonable and polite comment. That is far better than many of the rabid right wingers we get comments from. The main problem is your comment contains some glaring inacuracies.

First off, no one with any credability is advocating that Bush end the war against the people who attacked us. Problem is, Bush largely abandoned that war against al-Qaeda and has instead mired us in Iraq. We never had a reason for going into Iraq and he blatantly lied about his reasons. Poor intelligence? No. He was told in no uncertain terms that 9/11 was going to happen and he ignored those intelligence reports. Then he was told that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and had no WMD at the time we invaded, but he still told America that Hussein had collaborated with bin Laden (a bald faced lie) and had WMD (possible but there was no evidence for it). His lies took us into a war that military analysts largely agree was a mistake and made us less safe. Meanwhile, the real war, the war against al-Qaeda, has stagnated. The Democrats are demanding accountability and an exit strategy from Iraq and a refocus of our forces to actually fighting al-Qaeda, the people who attacked us.

As to Giuliani, his being some kind of 9/11 hero is another Republican lie. The real heroes were the firefighters and they despise Giuliani because his decisions and actions contributed to their deaths. The firefighters circulated a letter saying firefighters should "not just say 'No!' but 'Hell no!'" to Rudy Giuliani. And his leadership on that day has been seriously called into question. His worst failure was his refusal to upgrade the firefighters' equipment, something that he was told was needed but he chose not to do. The deaths of most of the firefighters on 9/11 was due to the communications equipment problem that Rudy had refused to deal with well before 9/11. This blunder was about the level of Bush's blunder in failing to heed the warnings about the New Orleans levees, which were predicted to fail under the conditions underwhich they did fail. Americans died because of the poor decisions of these two men. Giuliani was also a party to the Bush administration's cover up of information on the toxicity of the 9/11 smoke. This coverup is somethig I call The Worst Shame of the Bush Administration, but it could also be called one of the worst shames of the Giuliani administration. Many firefighters are affected by "Ground Zero cough" thanks to Bush and Giuliani's cover up.

So this is the kind of leadership Bush and Giuliani represent. Abandoning our firefighters is Giuliani's main legacy...that and racial tensions and appointing a police commissioner that he already knew had mob ties. This man is NOT qualified to be President.
