Screw them all, We should pull all our troops from the Middle East with out any notice. Follow it with a statement Arabs desreve to determine their own fate good bye. In a year we let Israel walk in and clean up the corpses.

[Clioman]

Would Hilary accept the check? Of course...She IS a Clinton, isn't she? But imagine the look on the Prince's face when he gets a staffer's note thanking him for "your generous contribution to the Sentator's campaign" and asking if he needs a pardon...

[DoughtyOne]

I can't say that I am all that pleased by the Saudis, but it could definately be worse.

[Betteboop]

We are not hated because of our relationship with Israel, rather, Israel is hated because of its relationship with us. They are a free and democratic society, just like ours. Put your anti-semitism away and use your brains--if you are not sitting on them!!!

[agrace]

Go Rudy. No surprise though - Rudy has always flat out refused to host Arafat in any capacity in NY. I think he even threatened to arrest him once if he showed up at the UN. Gotta love that. :)

[river rat]

Fool, You need to pull your head out of your ass.
Perhaps it is time for the "Royal" families of Saudi Arabia to be overthrown and replaced by the "people"...
Then at least -- we would see the uncovered face of our enemy and recognize them as such....
The time has come for a lot of "terrorists" to be terrorized and many more destroyed before they can bring their plans to fruition.
Semper Fi

Bet old Hillary is having a stroke just hearing that Rudy returned that check. She does not have a clue on this earth why he did it.

[eclectic]

``There is no moral equivalent to this attack. There is no justification for it,'' the mayor said. ``The people who did it lost any right to ask for justification for it when they slaughtered four or five thousand innocent people, and to suggest that there is any justification for it only invites this happening in the future.''

``One of the reasons I think this happened is because they were engaged in moral equivalency in not understanding the difference between liberal democracies like the United States, like Israel, and terrorist states and those who condone terrorists,'' he said.

This needs to be bumped and bumped and bumped. This is THE TRUTH. The truth will set you free!

[ILuvW]

"Please tell me that Giuliani will run against Hillary in the next election." My sentiments exactly! Even liberal New York should see that Rudy loves his homestate and wants only the best for New Yorkers and that HilLIARy only cares about her political career (how many times was she at Ground Zero I'd like to know....).

[Doctor Stochastic]

Turned down (about) $1500 for each family of the dead. I guess these families don't need the money anyway in Rudy's View.

[geaux]

Then it would read: "Mayor Reject's 's Donation"

[nopardons]

If you had ben paying any attention at all, you would know that OBL said that the attacks are because INFIDELS have the nerve to be in Saudi Arabia ( where Mecca and Medina are ) , thus polluting the sacred sites. What he means is that he, dear old Ossami, wants to march back into Saudi, and become the ruler. It is NOT because we support Israel . That lately added bit, is to rile up the Arab Street.

Then, there is the little, sticky fact that many, in the house of Saud, protect, give aid and comfort ( not to mention MONEY ) to the fanatics and bin Laden . Can you say HYPOCRITE ? Can you also say FRAUD ? I hope so, because that is what that prince is. In traditional Middle Eastern way, he figured that his tiny " baksheesh " ( sp ? ) would CHA .

A big BRAVO for Rudy, and a suggestion that you do more research, for you.

[VA Advogado]

You go Rudy! Isn't he the mayor that once kicked Yasser Arafat out of New York ?

[veronica]

Rudy should have accepted it and, right in front of the Prince, donated it to the local B'nai B'rith.

Ha ha.

[nopardons]

It's TAINTED money. Besides, there has been a vast amount of money already raised for those who lost loved ones.

[Norb2569]

By their actions, we can clearly see who is the 'real' prince!

We are VERY PROUD OF YOU, RUDY!!

[Disgusted in Texas]

This is the impression that Bill Clinton left on the world. That America policies and our government has a price tag!Today Giuliani clarified for the Prince that we da-n sure don't!The prince can stuff his money up his nose!

[Let's Roll]

ROO-DEE, ROO-DEE, ROO-DEE!!

[Disgusted in Texas]

Rudy Guiliani ,I am so proud of you!The Prince learned today that (despite the impression that Bill Clinton left on the world community,)America and her policies abroad can't be bought off! WE DON'T HAVE A PRICE TAG PRINCE!!!!Stuff your money up your probiscus.You have been enlightened.

[dr_who]

How do we know he didn't write checks to terrorist organizations with the same checkbook? It ain't money we're looking for, towelhead. It's something called trust and respect.
