Giuliani in Britain Vows to Thwart Iran

Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani met with Britain's prime minister Wednesday and vowed the U.S. would take any action necessary to keep Iran from becoming a nuclear power.

The former New York mayor is the latest GOP candidate to travel to Britain, meeting the new political guard and visiting former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, an icon for U.S. conservatives.

Giuliani met Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his predecessor Tony Blair. He was to deliver a lecture at the Atlantic Bridge, an organization that promotes ties between British and U.S. conservatives.

He said he discussed Iran with Brown and was "very, very much heartened by how seriously he sees it." He insisted Iran would not be allowed to become a nuclear power soon.

"We will use any options we believe is in our best interest to stop them becoming a nuclear power. With the absolute assurance that if they get to the point that they are going to become a nuclear power, we will prevent that or set them back five or 10 years. That is not said as a threat. That should be said as a promise," he said.

Giuliani's moderate stances on gun control, abortion and gay rights have put him at odds with many U.S. conservatives and religious leaders. But several world leaders have sought his opinions on security in the wake of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, when he was mayor of New York.

He said the alliance between the U.S. and Britain was essential to defeating terrorism.

1. You said it! nt

[BonnieJW]

This is fine.

Let him spout all the bravado he wants. Let the world see him for the arrogant pig he is.

2. His opinions on security?

Since when does being the mayor of a city that is attacked by terrorists make you an "authority" on terrorism?

It seems that Rudy has already appointed himself pResident -- I guess that means there is no need for elections.

3. Since when does an unelected presidential candidate set foreign policy?

[monmouth]

4. Hmmmm, as I recall the RWrs went bonkers when Pelosi and Kucinich

traveled and spoke with leaders of other countries. Rudy is a joke, hope they all know it.

7. remember the outcry when Pelosi visited several leaders in the Middle East
