Rudy Giuliani Adopts Bush's War on TerrorNadia Brownbyline‚ May. 02‚ 2007Statements made by former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani during the 2008 presidential campaign on issues such as Iraq, terrorism, and foreign policy have been essentially to endorse and completely embrace the Bush doctrine without providing any policy specifics of his own. While this may win over the conservative base in republican primaries, it may not sit well in a general election where moderates and independents play a huge part in electing the President. The former mayor who is best known for his handling of 9/11 doesn't seem concerned or is oblivious to the fact that a majority of the country in the 2006 midterm elections rejected the Bush doctrine, and disapproves of the way President Bush has handled the Iraq war. Although Senator John McCain (R-AZ), have been heavily criticized for wholehearted supporting President Bush’s Iraq war policy, the same has not been true for Mr. Giuliani. He has essentially gotten a pass from the mainstream media and Iraq war critics. |
