On NBC this morning, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani had his foreign policy credentials questioned. As he defended the president's escalation plan with his own additional remarks about measuring the success of the plan, Giuliani was asked point blank "What does a mayor know about what's going on in Iraq, and foreign policy?"

The remark was prompted by Giuliani's comparison of securing Baghdad with his programs to decrease crime in New York City. The presidential hopeful offered up a variety of evidence of who he has spoken with and his travels as proof that he could speak on foreign policy.

Giuliani also referred to Anbar, the violent Sunni province in Iraq, as "Anwar."

link with video goodness.

1. Rudy could become the Mayor Of The Green Zone
if he got elected President. Then he could move all of his girfriends and boyfriends into Saddam's old palace. Go America!

2. I honestly think Rudy is a flash in the pan. Yes polls show him leading among GOP voters
but once they find out his stands on abortion and gay rights and the fact that he conducted an open affair while still married to his wife the fundies will never nominate him. Add to that the fact that she is right you don't go from Mayor to President.

4. Well, fundies are hypocrites...
they'll say he's allowed to change his mind on abortion and gay marriage. Cheating on his wife is none of our business and all that. Gawd forgave him, you know.

15. Terraists are afeard of Rudy's rodent teeth.
Rudy's an expert on terra because he learned all about it when he was gassing his own people in New York City.

13. I think the "what's a mayor know about Iraq?" should be the ad sound bite.

Someone could even write a catchy tune or jingle to go along with it if he were to win the nomination.
