One wonders what he meant, then, particularly as the "clarifications" you obviously linked to in post 27, then deleted (luckily, not until they were thoughtfully quoted by Sunny-Days - thank you!) made even less sense than the original statement.

- "He obviously meant no attacks after 9/11!"
- "What about Reid?"
- "He naturally meant to say domestic terrorists"
- "Ehm - anthrax, DC sniper?"
- "Surely you understand he meant - ehm - domestic, islamic-based attacks after 9/11. Yeah, that's it. That's what he meant."

For someone who launched a political career on being the victim of terrorism, he sure has a loose grasp on the facts.

ETA: Here's the clarification, for those interested in the noble art of spin:

It's pathetic and unAmerican. They just want it to happen.

I'd even argue it makes them terrorist supporters. Off to Gitmo with them.

It's really pathetic. Giuliani, Cheney, et al, just keep returning to the same ol' theme: Vote for Democrats and you will die.

They're not interested in seeing a united America. They thrive on division.

They are, at least, aiding and abetting the terrorists with their language. They're saying that our President and his administration are weak, and they're suggesting that we deserve to be hit by terrorism for electing Obama.

"We had no domestic attacks under Bush; we've had one under Obama," Giuliani said on ABC's Good Morning America.

So do you mean the left wingers are a group who are confused and not together in their thoughts.

Which way is it, an inside job or not?

If it was an inside job then the award for the worst terrorist attack on American soil would be now owned by Obama instead of Clinton.
I never heard that nonsense until a few months ago here on CD. Now, I don't read left wing literature, but I do (gasp!) watch CNN and I read Newsweek. Never heard it. Never.

I feel like they are providing comfort to the enemy. Traitors, all of them. They should go to France.

I don't think Rudy was thinking of that either. Unless he issues another clarification, then I stand corrected.
