Rudy Giuliani Destroys Obama’s Foreign Policy Doctrine From Iran To Putin (Video)

Speaking at the Iranian-American Community symposium, America’s Mayor Rudy Giuliani tore into Obama’s policies on Iran and Islamic extremism. The former New York City mayor spoke with passion, flat-out rage and was on the verge of tears several times, ripped apart President Obama’s policies on terrorism and Iran

The speech, which was actually on Feb. 13, 2015, was given at the symposium “Countering Islamic Fundamentalism, and a Nuclear-Armed Iran” in Phoenix, Arizona. Giuliani rattled off a list of attacks and victims of Islamic extremism before slamming the administration’s policy of prioritizing political correctness over protecting American citizens.

“They have in common a movement the President of the United States will not recognize,” Giuliani said. :They have been murdered, they have been slaughtered, they have been raped, they have been tortured, they have been beheaded, they have been burned by a movement that the President of the United States will not recognize. What is wrong with him?”

Giuliani drew criticism and incessant mainstream media attention after saying the he didn’t think President Obama loved America the way other presidents, both Republican and Democrat, have loved the country. He doubled-down on that claim, adding he didn’t hear the love of America in his words nor see it in his policy, a reflection that America is ultimately a force of good in the world.

“Is there no passion? Is there no passion for the lives of these innocent people? Is there no caring for them? Do you know what the slaughter at Fort Hood was described as? Workplace violence. Workplace violence,” he said in disbelief. “This is a captain in the United States Army who had become a jihadist two years before, who was communicating with Afghanistan and Pakistan and Yemen. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out the cause for which he was murdering. He told us, ‘Allah Akbar.’ But the President of the United States doesn’t see the connection. Just the other day he called the slaughter of those Jewish people in France a random act. Mr. President, wake up! Come off the golf course. Come back on earth. These people have all been murdered by a movement.”

Speaking on the Iran nuclear negotiations, he said the administration is unjustly upset because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “wants to come here and defend his country” against a man who “announced that he wants to destroy the state of Israel.”

“Believe me, when I was Mayor of New York, if someone threatened to destroy New York City I would go anywhere, any place, any time, and I wouldn’t give a damn what the President of the United States thought, to defend my country,” Giuliani shouted. “That is a patriot. That’s a man who loves his people. That’s a man who protects his people. That’s a man who fights for his people. Unlike our president. Twelve red lines to Saudi Arabia. Twelve red lines, they all turned pink, and the last one turned yellow. He backed down to Assad 12 times. You don’t think that had a connection to what Putin did in Crimea?”

Giuliani drew a distinction between the repeated failures to enforce self-imposed red lines and Putin seizing the Crimea (and now eastern Ukraine), stating Putin “looked one time at Obama and he said, ‘I can take advantage of this man, because he is weak.'”

Last week, Ukrainian troops retreated from the strategic town of Debaltseve in the eastern part of country only days after the United Nations and the Obama administration claimed the cease-fire between the Russian-backed separatists and the western-backed Ukrainian government was holding.

“So we are here to appeal to you. We know your senators, particularly Senator McCain understands this as well or better than I do,” Giuliani added. “The President of the United States should not be allowed to reach an agreement with Iran without presenting it to the United States Congress. “This is not, this is not a dictatorship. this is not a country run by one man. This is not a country run by one branch of the government. The Congress of the United States speaks for the people of the United States.”
