Giuliani in New Hampshire

Rudy Giuliani, speaking before Republicans in New Hampshire, spoke some truth about the war currently being waged against us by Islamic extremists. I saw this on C-SPAN. He was good. Money quote about what will happen if a Democrat is elected President:

We will wave the white flag on Iraq. We will cut back on the Patriot Act, electronic surveillance, interrogation and we will be back to our pre-Sept. 11 attitude of defense.

UPDATE: The Wall Street Journal has a good thought or two about the Democrats' recent decisions in this area. Money quote:

By contrast, Mr. Reid's strategy of withdrawal will only serve to enlarge the security vacuum in which Shiite militias and Sunni insurgents have thrived. That's also true of what an American withdrawal will mean for the broader Middle East. Mr. Reid says that by withdrawing from Iraq we will be better able to take on al Qaeda and a nuclear Iran. But the reality (to use Mr. Reid's new favorite word) is that we are fighting al Qaeda in Iraq, and if we lose there we will only make it harder to prevail in Afghanistan and elsewhere. Countries do not usually win wars by losing their biggest battles.

Of course the cruelirony is that Al Qaeda was not operating in Iraq until after we invaded.
 
Wrong. See Hitchens and Hayes. I'll post on this in the near future.
