Giuliani Gets Exposed As Fraud by Firefighters

Giuliani Bungled Preparation in Years After 1993 Attack on Trade Center.

Critical failures by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani before, during and after the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, raise serious questions about his ability to be commander-in-chief.

In this thirteen minute documentary, fire fighters, fire officers and family members give dramatic testimony about Giuliani's leadership failures. Their dramatic stories tell how Giuliani failed to provide the FDNY with radios that worked, which led to the deaths of 121 fire fighters inside the World Trade Center's North Tower because they were unable to hear orders to evacuate.

Fire fighters also point to Giuliani's poor judgment in placing his emergency command center at 7 World Trade Center, a known terrorist target after the 1993 bombing.

This video documents the mayor's lack of respect for the fallen when he called off the recovery effort at Ground Zero on Nov. 1, 2001, after $200 million in gold bullion was recovered.

"We produced this documentary because we need to make sure our members know Giuliani's real record," said IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger.

"The UFA participated in this video to correct the myth that Rudy Giuliani has perpetrated on the American public," said Steve Cassidy, president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association of Greater New York, IAFF Local 94.

The Giuliani campaign defended the former mayor's record by issuing a release that lists items he purchased for FDNY.

"But the campaign, with its response, has neglected to address the charges of failed leadership outlined in our documentary," President Schaitberger said.

"Purchasing equipment for a fire department doesn't qualify any mayor to be president," said Jack McDonnell, president of New York City Local 854, the Uniformed Fire Officers Association.

"If that's the litmus test for president of the United States, then most mayors in this country qualify for the job. Giuliani is running on his 9/11 record, and his 9/11 record is laced with failures in preparedness and response," McDonnell said.

The IAFF has not made an endorsement in the 2008 presidential election. Local 94 supported President George W. Bush in the 2004 election, while the IAFF
and Local 854 endorsed Sen. John Kerry.

The International Association of Fire Fighters, headquartered in Washington, DC, represents more than 280,000 full-time professional fire fighters and paramedics in every state in the United States and in Canada. More information is available at www.iaff.org and at www.rudy-urbanlegend.com.

I can't believe this guy was awarded an honoury knighthood for his 'leadership'. Makes me embaressed for England.

[Mistahyu]

When he smiled about hearing about the gold, I just want to wipe that smirk off his face and he had the audacity to use "personal experience of 9/11" during the GOP debate. Absolutely cold-hearted man.

If there was thermite involved, and the site burned for weeks, how is it possible to find remains?

Dollars to donuts Giuliani got a nice fat kick back on this radio contract.

[xadam2dudex]

the no bid contract is a typical republican crony capitalism MO they use government money to enrich their buddies...all they care about is their own benefit and the benefit of their fellow wealthy robber barons.. they protect their own butts no matter what....all the FD people are expendable but gold isn't..politicians are some of the worse criminals on earth

I never like Guliani, didn't vote for him, and after listening to this, i could spit on him.

I am so sorry for the fathers who lost sons. Our Fire Department is the best and the bravest! God Bless all we lost and their families. I love & respect you all.

We will never forget!

[Jeannenyc57]

The hijackers were recorded on film at airports on CONNECTING flights - there was no evidence that they ever entered the planes used on 911. The phone calls were highly suspect, specifically the Barbara Olson and Todd Beamer calls. And it was actually very hard to get weapons onto the planes in those days, just like today - in fact, box cutters are not considered weapons, which is how the airports never got sued for a single cent after this catastrophe happened.

Wow. Sucks to be Rudi.
