Giuliani wanted public to blame the troops not Bush for artillery heist.

I seem to recall that newsclip the week before the 2004 election.

Can we find that and add to a collection of clips of Republicans attacking and insulting our troops?

This stuff will all come in handy some day.

1. Inquiring minds want to know.

Any savvy media watchers get that clip?

On October 27, Bush accused Kerry of "denigrating the actions of our troops and commanders in the field without knowing the facts." But in defending the president, Giuliani, Kristol, and Ingraham engaged in precisely the kind of finger-pointing at the troops of which Bush falsely accused Kerry.

From the October 28 edition of NBC's Today:

GIULIANI: The president was cautious. The president was prudent. The president did what a commander in chief should do. And no matter how much you try to blame it on the president, the actual responsibility for it really would be for the troops that were there. Did they search carefully enough? Didn't they search carefully enough?

3. That's EXACTLY it - does Media Matters have the video, too?

.We can put together a great collection. albeit, a very sad and pathetic one.

4. I just tried it, but the video isn't there anymore...

Pretty good description of what was said though....

5. It's got to be somewhere. Not giving up on this one.

It's so typical.
