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.

heres a point I have never heard in all these years, Why was Giuliani not really pissed at Bush 43 allowing 3000 deaths in his city ?? He was all smiles at all times when appearing with the President.
Even after the Memo was brought to lite at the 911 hearings .. Giuliani still defended Bush at all times .. this just amazes me.
The buildings clearly collapsed from the bottom in every video. The upper floors did NOT collapse first. In every video, the buildings fell and the firefighters heard explosions at the base of the buildings. Here is a question for you: when in all of history has any government cared about it's people?
Watch cross dressing Mayor lead his troops from the back 8:33. The whole video is worth watching, especially if you like watching people perjure themselves.
fucking working radios as an issue in 2001! these 'politicians' are about their profit margins! he got payed to buy some crap. don't bullshit yourself. get rid of all these shitbags
But what about the hijackers caught on security footage? What about the phone calls from loved ones on the planes? Dont forget how easy it was to bring weapons onboard those years. Many feared that something like this was bound to happen. Its very easy to manipulate people into thinking that this was a inside job. People dont like to accept that terrorists actually did this. I thought myself that this was an inside job. But i realised that people are doing everything they can to manipulate you.
Lets not forget the 550 eyewitness testimony by the firefighters which were not even heard by the FAKE 911 COMMISSION.911WASANINSIDEJOB. dON'T FORGET THE ASSHOLE PORT AUTHORITY COPS TELL EVERYBODY TO GO BACK TO WORK.I WONDER HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THEY KILLES.???
