Giuliani Testifies

From My Way News:
Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani passionately defended local firefighters and police on Wednesday after the rescue departments' response to Sept. 11 received sharp criticism from the commission investigating the attacks.

Giuliani's testimony was at times interrupted by emotional hecklers, including one who shouted, "My son was murdered." Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the suicide airplane attacks on New York and Washington in 2001.

"Catastrophic emergencies and attacks have acts of great heroism attached to them. They have acts of ingenious creativity attached to them and they have mistakes that happen," Giuliani said. "When human beings are put under these conditions, that's what happens.

"Blame should be directed at one source and one source alone -- the terrorists who killed our loved ones."

Matt's Chat

I do not understand why these disruptions are allowed to continue. Again, this isn't the House of Commons in England, where this sort of thing is supposed to happen. This is supposed to be a serious investigation in to what happened on 9/11 and it surely isn't with the circus atmosphere in the gallery and politicking on the Commission itself.

To even attempt to place any blame on first responders is so absurd I'm actually speechless. I just don't understand why this show trial is being allowed to continue. It is a sham. And the American people deserve better.

Mark's Remarks


This commission disgusts me. It blames everyone but who did the deed, the terrorists!!!! Now they focus on the brave men and women first responders who died saving lives. Now they are casting aspersions on their memory, and hoping further to turn people against the President. It makes me sick. Where is the objectivity? Where is the honesty?

Oh, wait, I forgot. This was a liberal induced committee, therefore, there cannot be any of those, for this is all about gaining power. Who cares that there really are questions of what to do better that need answered? Who cares that there are really issues we need to look at to better defend our country, because, darnit, we Libs need to win power! Who cares that Americans are dying in the field and are growing demoralized because we politicize everything, we have got to win power for our social experimentation! Who cares that we are telling children their dead parents are TO BLAME for 9/11 and for people dying, rather than extending the message that mommy or daddy are heroes, because who cares, kids can't vote anyway, and the more we screw em up, the more they will need entitlements!

I am truly disgusted...this farce and joke of a commission must end. Who's with me?
