When You Wish Upon A Rudy

Now, after reading this interview he gave today to the New York Times, how could anyone ever mention "Churchill" and "Giuliani" in the same sentence again:
“Neither one of these two wars – the one in Afghanstan/Pakistan or the one in Iraq – was nearly at the level of the planning we had done for the two wars we would have to fight at once,” he said. “Both of them would be considered small wars in comparison to that. So it would seem to me that we should have organized ourselves so that we could accomplish in Iraq what we had to accomplish without taking anything away from accomplishing in Afghanistan and Pakistan what we had to accomplish.”
First of all...we fought a war in Pakistan?! How did I manage to miss that. Maybe it was the week that the Eagles were in the Super Bowl, since I don't remember reading about it in my newspaper. If Giuliani were president when he made an offhand comment like that, it could spark the proverbial "international incident."
To be fair,
I'm having a little trouble finding the Pakistan incident, but I'm sure it's there somewhere. Perhaps they prevented KFC from expanding their franchise brand into Karachi, which certainly could be spun into an "agricultural embargo," which is in need of a military solution. I'm just speculating.
I can't believe people still take Giuliani seriously. The noise machine is having a difficult time coating their chosen ones with Teflon this time around, which might be a key reason Freddles hasn't thrown his jowls into the fray as of yet. Honestly, I can't believe Romney, Giuliani and Thompson are the best the right has to offer, but the party has painted themselves into a rhetorical corner on the war, and it's not as if any party-line Republican can be seen as a beacon of hope if they still support this war.
