Giuliani on State of the Union

Rudy Giuliani has backed the State of the Union speech by President Bush. Appearing this morning on NBC Today, Giuliani said that while Iraq was a very important issue, the President was trying to remind America that there are other issues of concern, there is a whole domestic agenda as well.

Giuliani said that we cant afford to ignore other issues like health, education and energy.

In regard to the Iraq strategy, he said that there has to be a heavy emphasis on measuring results. Giuliani also said that success in Iraq means a victory against terrorists and a safer world, and President Bush should be given the support by Congress and America in his new escalation plan.

Asked how he could get elected as nominee when he is considered liberal, Giuliani said that he could provide hope for the future, give better leadership, and would be able to handle the country in a time of crisis.

Giuliani will announce he said when the questions of his exploratory committee are answered.
