Rudy Giuliani, who was the mayor of New York City when the twin towers were struck on 9/11, returned to Ground Zero today to observe the death of Osama bin Laden.
“There‘s a great sense of satisfaction and relief that he’s finally been caught and brought to justice,” Guiliani said. “There is a desire for revenge that isn’t the most noble, but it’s there, and it’s human.”
According to the Fox News reporter who interviewed him, Guiliani noted that bin Laden’s death does not end fanaticism, but deals it a decisive blow. Guiliani also cautioned that as a result of bin Laden’s death, America could be at risk in the short term.

Posted on May 3, 2011 at 9:10amMr.Rudy Giuliani stated “We Are at Risk”, well in New York a city that doesn’t allow firearms, you would be at risk. It’s time New York City followed the U.S. Constitution and allow the good people of the city to carry guns and you will need less police and crime will drop also.

Posted on May 3, 2011 at 4:22amRudy will always deserve respect for the way he handled 9/11 This man was in the right place at the right time. We all need to remember the way he held the city, and the country, together during those days. I will always have a special place in my heart for Rudy. He was a true leader in an unbelievable situation. He ‘took charge’, he did not sit back and call on the feds, the U.N. or wait for help ! This was his town, his people, his country. The sounds of the jet fighters over NYC for days and days is a sound that people will never forget. To me Rudy will always be a Hero.

A radical cleric in Lebanon, Omar Bakri Mohammed, said, “The Americans want to humiliate Muslims through this burial, and I don’t think this is in the interest of the U.S. administration.”

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 6:59pmGiuliani‘s response to Bin Laden’s death is to play on fear by stating the obvious. That’s not strong leadership in my opinion, Mr. Mayor. Hope you’re okay with forever being known as an also-ran.

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 8:17pmRickFromIllinois has been following me around trolling about 9-11 truth.
He’s unfortunately the umpteenth troll to regurgitate the exact same stupid attacks and insults that are predictable and redundant.
He thinks the power elite are so magical that they can bend and twist the laws of physics and cause a steel reinforced skyscraper to collapse at near terminal velocity into its own footprint from a jumbo jet.
He‘s too stupid to realize that it couldn’t happen that way even if both planes were flying full throttle directly vertical down into the top of the building from orbit.
A bunker-buster bomb couldn’t drop a building that large if it was a direct hit on top on the building.

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 7:04pm^______^______^
Rudy knows what many are thinking and I believe OBL had a directive in place after his death for AQ to strike out. Fact is there are hundreds of cells throughout the world and US. They aren’t going to stand down or back off from whatever they have in the planning. The actual announcement of his death could be a greenlight to step up attacks.
AQ always takes time from one attack after another “we” are due for something from them esp now. I believe OBL/AQ has been looking to acquire nukes and were successful in getting their hands on one or two that are in fact duds! The Russians after the Cold War cannot account for all their nuclear weapons, and it is highly believed they ended up on the black market. These dud suitcase/ low yield nukes etc must be maintained or the components will degrade and the device will be useless. Could very well be re-activated by the likes of someone like A.Q. Khan.
AQ has also been reported in trying to get their hands on chem/bio weapons too. If anything his death will only accelerate what was already in the making with a WMD. Worst case scenario they just resort to good ol fashion mass killing with suicide bombers or shooting up large crowds of civilians…… It aint over kids, round two is about to start
