Leave it to Rudy Giuliani to screw up our time line below of when the president finally assumes the office of the president. After facing robust criticism from people living on planet earth, the mayor of the only American city to ever suffer mass causalities from an unprecedented terrorist attack, was forced to admit on CNN this afternoon that he now remembers 9/11 and that it did happen on Bush's watch. Quite a confession for the GOP considering they have tried their hardest to deny any responsibility or the actual happenings thereof.
If only it was that simple, however.
In trying to reword his statements from this morning on GMA, Giuliani refused to acknowledge attacks that happened after 9/11. Actually, he tried to say that the anthrax attacks don't count as terrorism because they can't be traced back to Islam. Interesting enough to point out that Saddam Hussein cannot be traced to any acts of Muslim extremism either but that's a different interview altogether I suppose. But what about the 2002 DC sniper? He was a Muslim? What about the 2001 shoe bomber? He was a Muslim. What about the LAX shooting where a Jewish airline was targeted and two people were killed. He was a Muslim and has been classified as an official act of terrorism. Even in 2006 a Muslim killed nine people in North Carolina specifically to "avenge the murder" of Muslims around the world. If a Muslim acting in an extreme manner to avenge the deaths of other Muslims isn't an act of Islamic extremism then I don't know what is.
Why do we have to pretend those attacks didn't happen? Maybe because it would totally undermine Republican talking points about President Obama's record on keeping the country safe.
