    In 1993, a group of Qaeda-networked assholes based out of Sudan bombed the WTC. What's amazing to me, a New Yorker, is that Giuliani was on duty both that day, and in 2001, when bin Ladin's Qaeda finally succeeded in destroying the WTC, and Giuliani emerged as a hero. Rather than the guy who let bin Ladin get away with it twice. And then used his hero status to back a war in Iraq, rather than finishing the war in Afghanistan, with his own NYC Police Chief, Kerik, running the security disaster in Iraq. How do any of these guys, including bin Ladin, keep their jobs with such lethally catastrophic performance?
