Oh the outrage!! Rudy takes out an ad begging the question "Who Should America Listen To?" regarding the Iraq War.
Jim Dyke, Rudy's senior communications advisor, states on MSNBC:
I’m an American. And because I believe that the terrorists, the Islamic terrorists, have declared war on us. And I believe that we oughta have a serious discussion in this country about the approach to defending ourselves.
The only problem for Rudy is that he had the opportunity to engage in a "serious discussion" about terrorism...and he opted out to make money.
The wonderful people at Think Progress reminded me that Giuliani had the opportunity in 2006 to engage in serious discourse about Iraq as a member of the Iraq Study Group...but Rudy quit because it interferred with his money-making speaking engagements.
Sure Rudy..you take Iraq and terrorism seriously, unless it costs you a dime. What a hero. I won't forget the particulars of this issue again.
My apologies for the lack of links, etc. New laptop, less than savvy operator.
