Rudy Giuliani’s chief foreign policy adviser blasted the Bush administration for "incompetencies," accusing the White House of alienating allies, creating domestic and international ill will and failing on multiple fronts in the war on terror.
Charles Hill, the Yale University professor heading up the GOP frontrunner’s foreign policy team, pledged that a Giuliani administration would "get the job done," in an interview with FOX News last Friday.
"(Foreign policy) will begin to be operative and be successful and produce results. It will have no needless animosities, it will have none of the incompetencies that unfortunately, we have been seeing," Hill said.
Hill’s comments are the harshest criticism leveled at the current White House thus far from anyone connected to the Giuliani campaign, but campaign aides were quick to tell FOX News that Hill’s assessment represents his own opinion — not the candidate's.
They added that Giuliani greatly values Hill’s advice and counsel, and while the former New York City mayor plans to approach foreign policy in a way that will deviate from the current administration, Giuliani would refrain from using similar language.

Hill, a former aide to U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, leads a 60- to 70-person team of regional and issue experts who offer analysis and advice to the campaign, but Hill is the only member of the group with a direct line to Giuliani.
I have read all that I can without barfing all over my new computer.
I repeat this election cycle is getting wackier and wackier.
This tells me that Giuliani will be an appeaser when it comes to what other countries think.
Isn't that what most Freepers are concerned about?
So, if that is the key reason that Ron Paul is rejected, why isn't the same reason that Rudy G. is accepted?
This opens Rudy to all sorts of legitimate questions on how he currently stands on illegal aliens, the LOST monstrosity, the International Criminal Court, and Kyoto. Indeed, although not apparently intended to be an anti-Rudy piece, it gives me more pause about his candidacy than anything else I have read. In the domestic area he’s to be praised for having collected an excellent group of free market, low tax supporting advisers and for having Ted Olson as his leading legal and constitutional adviser. Unfortunately, this Professor Hill looks like the proverbial piece of fecal matter in the punch bowl that could ruin everything.
One of the things that most attracted me about Rudy was that it looked like he’d have a very aggressive, pro-American foreign policy; Professor Hill’s presence on Rudy’s foreign policy team casts a pall over all of that.
"One issue elites?"
There's quite a growing list of those things "Giuliani" that makes this stinker of a candidate not much different than Hillary.
I like your tagline
Ah but this international gadfly is running such a positive campaign, and it is common knowledge that he and only he can out dress I mean out campaign Hillry.
'You know' just as Bill Clinton was the first black president, Rudy can become the first 'woman' president.
Yes, that is understandable, since Rudy has a UN guy as his chief advisor.
Monday morning quarterback ping!!
I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR THIS POS BABYKILLER, GUNGRABBER AND EMBRACER OF THE gay LIFESTYLE!
LLS
My take on this is that if you can’t find anything the presidential candidate has said that is contentious and might upset his supporters, find a remark by someone on the candidates staff who said something that you can then link to the candidate by implying that the remark reflects the candidates views. It’s called “guilt by association” and is a time tested MSM technique.

"Key giuliani adviser ADMITS TO FAKING PHONE CALL FROM rudy's "WIFE", DURING rudy's SPEECH TO THE NRA, TO TRY AND KEEP rudy FROM LOOKING STUPID DURING HIS BUMBLING ATTEMPT AT QUOTING THE WORDS OF THE 2ND AMENDMENT".
The adviser went on to say, "What do you expect? rudy doesn't KNOW the words of the 2nd, because he DOESN'T GIVE A SH*T about that archaic amendment, which he thinks is unecessary in today's modern world!".
Hill is a conservative realist, former Reagan diplomat, and not at all like any Democrat. Read this recent interview he did with Human Events.

He appears to be less sanguine about “democratizing” the middle east than some of Bush’s advisors, which I think is a good thing.
Uh, bashing President Bush helps gay Rudy with the GOP voters, how?
