Yes, Giuliani really said that, seemingly forgetting about the whole 9/11/01 terrorist attacks including the attack on the city he was mayor of at the time and the shoe bomber that same year. Surprising given Giuliani’s repeated non sequitur references to the 9/11 attacks in speeches for years after.

What color is the sky in Giuliani-land I wonder?

And here’s Rudy bringing it back to 9/11 when asked about Hillary Clinton getting choked up on the campaign trail during the 2008 primaries:

Other things that, according to Giuliani, probably happened or didn’t happen during W. Bush’s administration:
- there was a link between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda.
- the USA went to war in Iraq based on good intel.
- Colin Powell didn’t lie to he UN about WMD’s in Iraq.
- we found WMD’s in Iraq.
- Giuliani won the GOP nomination in 2008 for president.
- we captured Bin Laden
- Cheney never shot anyone in the face.
- W. Bush took swift and effective action after Katrina
- the mission was really accomplished when W. Bush stood in front of the “Mission Accomplished” banner on that aircraft carrier
- the economy didn’t tank during W. Bush’s administration.

And here’s the thing, Giuliani isn’t the first, and probably won’t the last, GOP’er to claim there were no attacks during W.’s presidency. Remember, W.’s former White House press secretary Dana Perino and former Dick Cheney aide Mary Matlin have gone on record saying the same thing. Do they think if they say it often enough or loud enough or really, really really believe no attacks occurred during W.’s presidency then everyone will agree with them? They do know that people can remember and read, right?
Man oh man, I love the smell of revisionist history in the morning.
