Due to the tragic ISIS attacks in Brussels, Belgium, politicians have been making the rounds on talk shows, providing their two cents on how to better combat terrorism. While many on the left have blamed discriminatory laws and many on the right have blamed refugees, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani decided to go a different route, saying the following as a guest on The O'Reilly Factor:
"She (Hillary Clinton) helped create ISIS. Hillary Clinton could be considered a founding member of ISIS. ... By being part of an administration that withdrew from Iraq. By being part of an administration that let [former Prime Minister Nouri al-] Maliki run Iraq into the ground, so you forced the Shiites to make a choice. By not intervening in Syria at the proper time. By being part of an administration that drew 12 lines in the sand and made a joke out of it."
The problem with the mayor's argument is the concept of time. Let me provide him a basic timeline of relevant events:
1999 - when ISIS was formed
2009-2013 - when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State
2009-2016 - when Barack Obama was/is president
Given that, I can see Giuliani engaging in this conversation:
Giuliani: "When did ISIS start up again?"
Professor Britannica: "1999"
Giuliani: "...and when did Secretary Clinton, you know, become Secretary?"
Prof. Britannica: "2009-2013"
Giuliani: "Whoa! So you're telling me Hillary Rodham Clinton could be one of the founding members of ISIS?!? I think you are! Unbelievable! Just unbelievable!"
Given Mr. Giuliani's apparent ignorance on chronology, I have to believe he'll utter the following claims in the future:
- "Let's think about this for a moment here. The 9/11 terror attacks occurred in 2001. President Obama was elected president in 2008. So, I mean, common sense would tell you President Obama is responsible for 9/11!"
- "If Hillary Clinton becomes our next president, we can finally say that, without a doubt, the recession was all her fault! Period!"
- "Babies, man... It's the whole chicken-and-the-egg thing, you know? What came first, the sex or the pregnancy? I don't know, but my money's on the pregnancy!"
Yeah, with Rudy Giuliani, when it comes to speech and thoughts, we know darn well what came first - the speech, for his words are void of any actual thoughts.
