Giuliani on the Global War on Terror

Rudy Giuliani was on Hannity & Colmes last night on Fox News, and got behind President Bush's defense strategy against al Qaeda and in Iraq, and strongly behind Israel's campaign against the Hezbollah terrorist network.

Here is some of what he said:

GIULIANI: Engaging the terrorists by being on offense against them has kept us safe. And - we're not going to be safe forever. And we are going to be attacked again. But I am convinced that the actions that George Bush took, by going on the offense against terrorism starting on Sept. 20, 2001 has given us a degree of safety...

COLMES: How does that make us safer when there is more global terrorism, according to our own State Department...Something happened in Morocco and Spain, and what almost happened today...?

GIULIANI: It was going on in the 1970s, the 1980s, the 1990s. The U.S.S. Cole happened before Sept. 11. The plot that was uncovered to take out something like 15, 20 airplanes in 1995 was going on before Sept. 11. The reality is that we've been able to accomplish something that nobody, including the two of you, and me, thought was possible on the night of Sept. 11. On the night of Sept. 11, one of the reasons I was reading the Churchill book, I was expecting we were going to be attacked numerous times. By going on offense against them, we have been able to give us safety that we otherwise would not have had. And that was a brilliant decision.

Regarding Israel's actions, Giuliani said he thought it was good news that Hezbollah was being decimated now, rather than in four or five years when it could have even stronger weaponry than it now has.
