New Giuliani Ad Features OBL, Bhutto and Ahmadinejad

ABC News' Jan Simmonds reports: Rudy Giuliani released a new national television ad Wednesday evening, warning of "a world where the next crisis is a moment away."
The ad (watch it HERE) includes images of Osama Bin Laden, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the recently assassinated former Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto to drive home the presence of those dangers.
The advertisement, to be aired nationally on FOX News Channel and locally in New Hampshire and Florida, begins with images of large groups of shouting Middle Easterners with a narrator warning viewers that the United States faces an "enemy without borders."
Showing images of car bombings, Islamic rallies and gun-toting Middle Easterners, the narration goes on to warn of "a people perverted" whose religion they have "betrayed," who are bent on creating "chaos" around the world.
The ad touts that, in a world where leaders such as Bhutto are assassinated,"democracy attacked" and "Osama bin Laden still making threats," that the United States "needs a leader who's ready."
Giuliani himself only appears on screen at the end of the ad, where he tells viewers that he "approved this message."
The new ad keys off of a speech Giuliani made earlier in the day in which he laid out his plan to fight the war on terror. It also is an indication that the campaign is going back to stressing one of Giuliani's strengths greatest strengths according to the polls -- the war on terror and keeping Americans safe.

Guiliani and the whole country should not be worry. If we believe the big media, pundits and some of the political analyst, tt seems like Obama "the next savior of the country" will win the nomination and the general election! Obama and his message of change and hope will "attract millions of independents and unhappy republicans to his cause and his greatness and wisdom will reach out to Africa and the middle east. Pretty soon Obabam will become the savior of the world...or the ONE like Oprah said it in South Carolina.
So Guiliani,,,don't be afraid...just like millions of Republicans -so the pundits and big media are saying- that are going to cross lines and vote for OBAMA! LOL

Guiliana = fear-monger, war-monger and corrupt.
Washington, DC –Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today released its 2007 list of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians.” The list includes Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY), (also Clinton, Obama),: Giuliani came under fire in late 2007 after it was discovered the former New York mayor’s office “billed obscure city agencies for tens of thousands of dollars in security expenses amassed during the time when he was beginning an extramarital relationship with future wife Judith Nathan in the Hamptons…” ABC News also reported that Giuliani provided Nathan with a police vehicle and a city driver at taxpayer expense. All of this news came on the heels of the federal indictment on corruption charges of Giuliani’s former Police Chief and business partner Bernard Kerik, who pleaded guilty in 2006 to accepting a $165,000 bribe in the form of renovations to his Bronx apartment from a construction company attempting to land city contracts.

I can't take much more of Giuliani trying to build a political foundation on the ashes of dead Americans. Is he even aware of other dilemmas going on in this country? Someone should change his diaper, dial in his meds, wipe off his huge forehead and tell him that his run at the Presidency was all just a big dream. Slap a pacifier in his mouth, and after a big fart, he should drool right back to sleep.

As an ex-New Yorker I am mortified by Rudy's behavior at the current Republican convention. The man embarrases all of us from the city he once governed. His speech was laced with sneers, snickers and laughs. All extremely childish and mean-spirited. Grow up Mr. EX-mayor. Show a little dignity and respect to those better than you!
