"This is what Rudy did. He blamed the troops. He said, they didn't do their job. He couldn't be more wrong."

"Aren't you sick and tired of George Bush and Dick Cheney using our troops as a shield instead of protecting our troops?"

"Because this president is continuing to try to scare America in his speeches and ads in a despicable and contemptible way. The American people are smarter than they think."

"He's exploiting a national tragedy for personal gain. And it's the lowest kind of politics."
