It really is September 10th, 2001. Rudy Giuliani is so unpopular in New York that he couldn't be elected dogcatcher. Obtaining raised middle class taxes/service fees, presided over the continued decline of one particular of the worst public school techniques in America, worsened the state of wellbeing treatment in NYC, and doled out corporate welfare to his excess fat cat buddies, Giuliani was largely a failure as Mayor. (As have most mayors of equally events been.) Sure crime fell (but it did nationwide and NYC was even now safer in the 1960s than it was in 2000 so Giuliani's figures are misleading) and Manhattan was cleaner (I'll give him that) but this is the very same imbecile mayor who tried to near down a museum more than a image he personally disliked and who encouraged the variety of conduct that resulted in tragedies like Amadou Diallo and Abner Louima. Oh and I haven't even talked about his individual behavior simply because Giuliani actually makes Brittney Spears seem to be tolerable.
davefromqueens's diary :: ::
But Giuliani's most significant failures as mayor stems from 9/11, the two prior to and afterward. I live right here, was in Manhattan on that day, so if you are not from NY, consider it from people of us who reside right here 1st.
GIULIANI'S 9/11 FAILURES
A. PRIOR TO 9/eleven
one. IGNORING THE FBI - When the WTC was attacked in 1993 and we had a President who really captured and killed Each man or woman responsible for these attacks, the FBI released a series of suggestions to NYC to follow in the mid 1990s. But Giuliani, by that position changing a skilled Bill Bratton with an incompetent Howard Safir (and later third grade detective and door holder Bernie Kerik) put his ego (Giuliani is an incompetent leader and only feels secure around people even far more incompetent) forward of protection and snubbed his nose at the FBI. Had these suggestions been implemented, more American lives in NYC would have been saved on 9/eleven.
two. FIREFIGHTER Equipment - Component of individuals recommendations had been to give the firefighters radio devices to talk from ground to air. Individuals on the ground knew that the WTC would collapse 15-twenty minutes down the road. IF the firefighters had the suitable radio devices, they would have been told to get out. Instead, they climbed to their death.
3. The COMMAND Middle IN THE SKY - Only an idiot builds a command center 23 stories in the sky subsequent to a major target of terrorists Right after being advised by the FBI NOT TO. Had there been an operational command middle on 9/eleven, a lot more lives would have been saved.
4. COORDINATION OF DEPARTMENTS - Again Giuliani the incompetent ignored the FBI recommendations to coordinate police with fire and EMT. As an alternative, we had a bunch of individuals operating all around not realizing what to do. This indecisiveness and confusion price lives on 9/11.
B. GIULIANI ON 9/eleven
1. INTRODUCTION - Of the 3 classes, Giuliani will get his highest marks here by default. What Giuliani does greatest is talk to the camera and he did that effectively. But supplying press conferences as opposed to taking meaningful actions are two distinct points. And maintain in brain that with Bush studying My Pet Goat, Anyone would have looked very good in comparison to Bush.
2. Working Around, Carrying out Absolutely nothing - From 8:46 am to ten:00 am was the time for Giuliani to be a leader. And Giuliani failed. He spent the time wandering the streets of lower Manhattan aimlessly not realizing what to do. He was misplaced and clueless. (The press conferences arrived later.)
three. SCREWING THE FIREFIGHTERS - Giuliani and his brass had the chance to conserve lives but failed to. As a substitute they received phrase that the WTC may collapse. Instead of captains taking two added minutes to support their sailors, Giuliani made the decision to jump ship without having the thought of attempting to send word to the firefighter to get out of the properties.
C. After 9/eleven
one. EPA CORRUPTION - Giuliani and the Bush administration concealed environmental hazards and air circumstances at 9/11 essentially sending rescue workers to their deaths down the street. This is shameful.
2. LAWSUITS - As a substitute of aiding the victims of 9/11 recover, Giuliani and Bush have been preventing these plaintiffs from finding what they are entitled to. Hero my ass.
3. PROFITTING OFF 9/eleven - It really is been properly documented how Giuliani has exploited this tragedy for individual profit. The thing is Giuliani didn't do anything at all.
4. STEALING 9/11 VICTIM FUND Funds - This is the one particular that need to destroy Giuliani. To have the chutzpah to consider cash meant for the widows of 9/eleven and redirecting it to his cronies is unforgivable.
five. Attempted SUSPENDING DEMOCRACY - If the terrorists hate us for our freedom, they positive should really like Giuliani for Rudy tried to extend his phrase as mayor for three additional months.
six. IGNORING BIN LADEN, PRAISING BUSH In the course of the 2004 convention, Giuliani stated "Thank God George W Bush is our president." (I'd adore for Democrats to make a commercial out of that in 2008 if Giuliani did get the nomination.) But what pissed New Yorkers off most is how Giuliani did not give a flying __ about capturing Bin Laden and as an alternative becoming a cheerleader for unrelated policies. New Yorkers want Bin Laden dead and Giuliani gave us a massive center finger.
CONCLUSION
The file as a complete displays Giuliani to be a miserable failure on 9/eleven and his status as some type of hero is totally mythological and driven by the corporate media. Somewhere in a risk-free residence in Afghanistan, Osama Bin Laden was most likely declaring to himself, "Thank Allah George W Bush is President, Thank Allah Rudy Giuliani is Mayor of New York Town. The death toll would in no way have been as substantial with out them."
