Giuliani defends Clinton on anti-terror By MATT SEDENSKY, Associated Press Writer Thu Sep 28, 7:14 AM ET FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani defended Bill Clinton on Wednesday over the former president's counterterrorism efforts, saying recent criticism on preventing the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks is wrong. Political bickering over which president — Clinton or George W. Bush — missed more opportunities to prevent the attacks has been escalating since Clinton gave a combative interview on "Fox News Sunday" in which he defended his efforts to kill Osama bin Laden. "The idea of trying to cast blame on President Clinton is just wrong for many, many reasons, not the least of which is I don't think he deserves it," Giuliani said in response to a question after an appearance with fellow Republican Charlie Crist, who is running for governor. "I don't think President Bush deserves it. The people who deserve blame for Sept. 11, I think we should remind ourselves, are the terrorists — the Islamic fanatics — who came here and killed us and want to come here again and do it." Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice challenged Clinton's claim that he did more than many of his conservative critics to pursue bin Laden, and she accused the Democrat of leaving no comprehensive plan to fight al-Qaida. Giuliani said he believed Clinton, like his successor, did everything he could with the information he was provided. * But does Rudy explain why Bush ignored the 8-6-01 warning and disbanded Clinton's entire counter-terror team? Or why Bush never once met about counter-terrorism until September 4, 2001? Or why Rice and Bush never included terrorism in their list of threats to the US? Or why Rice never acknowledged receiving the comprehensive plan to battle Al Qaida from Clarke in January 2001?
