Edwards responds to Giuliani blaming the troops

[Cocoa]

Giuliani is THE most overrated politician. Nowhere near as popular as the whores give him credit for. Especially now.

DULUTH, Minn., Oct. 28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Senator John Edwards issued the following statement today about George Bush's chief surrogates blaming the troops for missing explosives in Iraq:

"Today, George Bush sent his chief surrogate, Rudy Giuliani, out to defend the president's incompetence. And Giuliani blamed the troops. He said they didn't do their jobs. The Republicans couldn't be more wrong.

"Our men and women in uniform did their jobs. It's our commander-in-chief, George Bush, who didn't do his.

"If George Bush is going to have his friends out there blaming the troops, then he needs to back up his claims with evidence. Mr. President, show America the order that you issued for our troops to secure these dangerous explosives. Show us the order that your friends accuse our troops of ignoring.

"George Bush refuses to step up and take responsibility -- and now it's time for him to step aside."

This morning, Giuliani said, "The actual responsibility for it really would be for the troops that were there. Did they search carefully enough? Didn't they search carefully enough?"

1. Love Edwards! Stick it to that ghoul!

14. Ghoul is right

I'm so glad that damned ghoul is no longer our mayor.

Can somebody please shine some sunlight on him and drive him back into his crypt?

[Roland99]

2. Great response!

Come on, Dub....show us that order!

4. brilliant

put up or shut up. Rudy's going to be asked this question the rest of his life. Why did you choose the Worst President Ever over American soldiers?

3. this is the first response to Rudi's ass I've seen - makes me feel

better. I love John Edwards.

5. I never thought to tie this back directly to Bush

interesting way to look at it, and absolutely fatal to Bush if the charge holds.

6. Gouliani is a traitor, I think hanging around the insane is rubbing off.

7. Kerry & Edwards are doing a great job of attacking every blunder...

and with this administration, that's an endless task.

8. So glad he got ON it immediately. It shouldn't go unrebuked.

The nerve of that snuffling, self-promoting, silly, cheap little man, after all.

Blaming the underpaid, abused, beleaguered troops doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? They are taking 100% of the risks, with 100% of the insults coming to them from the Republicans, not war protestors who would like to see them returned safely home.

Smelly little Rudy. So glad Edwards swatted him.

9. Edwards needs to say this to TV public -- not just a written statement.

10. Giuliani would have had NO POLITICAL CAREER

except for 9/11. He was washed up in politics having announced his love affair with Judy, who is now his wife, while he was still married to Donna Hanover. She found out about her upcoming divorce on TV the same way the rest of us did. He is a nasty piece of work. Don't be surprised at anything he says.

11. Ditto, if not for 9/11, Rudy would be guesting on Hollywood Squares...

[DemFromMem]

12. Whatever happened to "the buck stops here"?

Does anyone see the irony that Bush this week cited Truman as one of his favorite Presidents? This is the "dog ate my homework" President.

[JohnKleeb]

13. Rudy why do you hate our troops, you unpatriotic French

etc :D.
Good call Edwards, he's right on.

[Harlan James]

15. Nailed the prick

Rudy: Bald-headed errand boy. Whatever qualities he might have had were sucked out by the evil vortex known as the Bush Family.

[RaleighNCDUer]

16. the actual responsibility for it would be for the people who

'organized' this clusterfuck. Were there enough troops on the ground to accomplish their mission of defeating the enemy, as well as securing ammo dumps and searching for WMD?

Not by a hundred thousand.
