Has Giuliani ever apologized for blaming the troops...
Edited on Wed Nov-01-06 11:20 PM by wicket
...for the missing Al Qaqaa munitions?

"The president was cautious the president was prudent the president did what a commander in chief should do. No matter how you try to blame it on the president 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?"


I love Wes Clark's comments about this at that time:

"For President Bush to send Rudolph Giuliani out on television to say that the 'actual responsibility' for the failure to secure explosives lies with the troops is insulting and cowardly. "The President approved the mission and the priorities. Civilian leaders tell military leaders what to do. The military follows those orders and gets the job done. This was a failure of civilian leadership, first in not telling the troops to secure explosives and other dangerous materials, and second for not providing sufficient troops and sufficient equipment for troops to do the job."


What ever happened to those missing munitions from Al Qaqaa anyway? Are they somewhere with the missing $9 billion??

On edit: The videon on Youtube of GHOUL-iani blaming the troops:

5. Why should he?
He still hasn't apologized for helping 3000 NYers get killed and letting 1000's of first responders work in the pit knowing that it was a toxic stew. Once there was no chance of finding survivors, there was no longer any hurry to clean up the site. Instead, the people behind this played on everyone's emotions and exploited the shit out of their 'heroes'.

7. Very true
And this asshole fancies himself president. He's was about to be run out of NYC on a rail before 9/11 happened, he was so freakin' inept.
