NO THIRD TERM

Read these excerpts from Ann Althouse's summary of a Giuliani conference call with bloggers and tell me a Giuliani presidency wouldn't be a third Bush-Cheney term:

...[Democrats] don't understand "the nature of the Islamist threat." They'll never even say "Islamist terrorism threat" when they talk about terrorism: "They can't get the words out."

... Giuliani emphasized that he has been studying Islam and Islamic terrorism since the 1970s when he was in the Ford administration, and he knows that the reason they hate us is because of our freedom....

... He said that the question [in last night's debate] was about the definition of torture as contrasted with "enhanced techniques" or "aggressive techniques." His view is that we should figure out exactly where the line is and go right up to it....

A Giuliani would be just like the last six years, only without the brush-clearing.
