Rudy Giuliani Warns of a New 9-11 if Democrats Win

During his speech Tuesday to the Rockingham County Lincoln Day Dinner, Rudy Giuliani said if a Democrat is elected president in 2008, America will be at risk for another terrorist attack on the scale of Sept. 11, 2001. He said in part... “I listen a little to the Democrats and if one of them gets elected, we are going on defense... We will wave the white flag on Iraq.
