A conservative group called “Freedom’s Watch” is making a 15 million dollar ad buy to get misleading propagandistic ads on the air in 20 states. The ads falsely conflate the Iraq war with 9/11 in subtle visual ways. They’re meant to confuse the American public into supporting Bush’s failing “surge” policy. And who is the point man for this conservative pro-war group? None other than Bush’s former press secretary, Ari Fleischer.
Giuliani Bungled Preparation in Years After 1993 Attack on Trade Center.Critical failures by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani before, during and after the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, raise serious questions about his ability to be commander-in-chief.In this thirteen minute documentary, fire fighters, fire officers and family members give dramatic testimony about Giuliani’s leadership failures. Their dramatic stories tell how Giuliani failed to provide the FDNY with radios that worked, which led to the deaths of 121 fire fighters inside the World Trade Center’s North Tower because they were unable to hear orders to evacuate.Fire fighters also point to Giuliani’s poor judgment in placing his emergency command center at 7 World Trade Center, a known terrorist target after the 1993 bombing.
This video documents the mayor’s lack of respect for the fallen when he called off the recovery effort at Ground Zero on Nov. 1, 2001, after $200 million in gold bullion was recovered.
“We produced this documentary because we need to make sure our members know Giuliani’s real record,” said IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger.
“The UFA participated in this video to correct the myth that Rudy Giuliani has perpetrated on the American public,” said Steve Cassidy, president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association of Greater New York, IAFF Local 94.
The Giuliani campaign defended the former mayor’s record by issuing a release that lists items he purchased for FDNY.
“But the campaign, with its response, has neglected to address the charges of failed leadership outlined in our documentary,” President Schaitberger said.
“Purchasing equipment for a fire department doesn’t qualify any mayor to be president,” said Jack McDonnell, president of New York City Local 854, the Uniformed Fire Officers Association.
“If that’s the litmus test for president of the United States, then most mayors in this country qualify for the job. Giuliani is running on his 9/11 record, and his 9/11 record is laced with failures in preparedness and response,” McDonnell said.
The IAFF has not made an endorsement in the 2008 presidential election. Local 94 supported President George W. Bush in the 2004 election, while the IAFF
and Local 854 endorsed Sen. John Kerry.
The International Association of Fire Fighters, headquartered in Washington, DC, represents more than 280,000 full-time professional fire fighters and paramedics in every state in the United States and in Canada. More information is available at www.iaff.org and at www.rudy-urbanlegend.com.
Radio talk show host and TV commentator Laura Ingraham and Ron Paul speaking at the Iowa Straw Poll. Paul talkes about abortion, Roe v. Wade, national defence, 9/11, Second Amendment, taxes, destroying the Department of Education, IRS, NAFTA, neocons, immigration, how he hates paper money, Iraq, national ID card, …
Republican Ron Paul proposes passengers giving the right to carry guns on airplanes, that way he claims 9/11 wouldn’t have happened.
This guy is nuts and his supporters act like asylum inmates.
He is also inconsistent: he asks to respect the Constitution, to respect the 2nd Amendment, but then he says to repeal the 16th.
Maher Arar (born 1970 in Syria) is a Canadian software engineer who was subjected to the United States policy of extraordinary rendition, a process where detainees are transferred from one country to another, with the expectation that they may be tortured in the country to which they are rendered.
Arar, a Syrian-born Canadian citizen, was detained during a layover at John F. Kennedy International Airport in September 2002 on his way home to his family in Canada. He was held in solitary confinement in the U.S. for nearly two weeks, interrogated, and denied meaningful access to a lawyer. The Bush administration labelled him a member of Al Qaeda and rendered him, not to Canada, his home and country of citizenship, but to Syrian intelligence authorities, known by the U.S. government to practice torture.[1] While in Syria, he was regularly tortured for almost a year before being released to Canada.
Both the Canadian and Syrian governments have publicly cleared Arar of any links to terrorism. The United States government, however, refuses to clear Arar’s name and continues to have both him and his family on a watchlist.
I AM SO PISSED! I cannot believe that these gutless Democrats, a party that I have supported faithfully with MY time, MY sweat, and MY money, is rolling over for President Bush and giving him license to TRASH the Constitution! Below are listed the members of the Democratic party who have betrayed OUR TRUST and they should be opposed in the next Democratic primary. They work for us! We didn’t send then to Washington D.C. to ‘Go Along’ with this War Criminal President!
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act or (FISA) was a system that allowed a President to use all the resources that he or she needed to combat terrorism, with a judge overseeing the program and issuing a WARRANT. The President could have listened in on who-ever he wanted to for 3 days but it was required that he GET a WARRANT from a FISA JUDGE! It is the only oversight that we had on this out-of-control- President and it created a paper trail that guaranteed that the Presidnet WAS NOT listening in on AMERICAN CITIZEN’S PHONE CONVERSATIONS AND VIOLATING OUR RIGHT TO PRIVACY AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS!
President Bush has been illegally wiretapping from 2001 to the present, instead of bringing charges of impeachment for high crimes, THESE Democratic party member voted to GIVE President Bush the law that he wanted, that retroactively made all of his domestic spying crimes LEGAL. I expect this treachery from the Bush administration, but to have MY Democratic Senators and Congressmen CAVE IN TO THIS PRESIDENT’S ILLEGAL DEMANDS TO REWRITE THE FISA LAW IS INEXCUSABLE!
