Like this comes as a surprise to anyone.

The man once dubbed ''America's mayor'' has taken the first step toward becoming America's next president.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Republican moderate who achieved near-mythic popularity for his handling of the Sept. 11 attacks, filed papers Friday in New York to create the Rudy Giuliani Presidential Exploratory Committee Inc. A copy of the document was obtained by The Associated Press.

Creating an exploratory committee does not make Giuliani a declared candidate, but it does mean he intends to travel the country gauging support and preparing for a White House bid.

''Mayor Giuliani has not made a decision yet,'' Giuliani spokeswoman Sunny Mindel said in a statement Monday night. ''With the filing of this document, we have taken the necessary legal steps so an organization can be put in place and money can be raised to explore a possible presidential run in 2008.''

We love him. We admir him. But are GOP primary voters willing to put aside differences with Rudy on key issues in order to nominate him? He is so centrist as to go over the line into liberal on a number of issues -- abortion and gay rights among them -- that I think many of them won't be able to hold their nose and vote for him. But he is McCain without the baggage of campaign finance reform -- and his efforts in the days and weeks following 9/11 are undeniably the stuff of legend -- and the great story of our time.

But I'm still backing Mitt.

This Arabophobic minor leaguer had the chutzpah to rudely dismiss the economic hand of friendship of the Saudi prince attempting to ameliorate the losses of 9/11.

2 Yeah -- a Saudi prince who came to the US saying 9/11 was the fault of the US. Screw him -- and the entire Saudi Royal Family.

But then again, KKKen, you feel that the US should fellat any Arab who deigns to offer criticism of our country.

Constructive criticism of the kind which if followed would  have saved America from the no-win quagmire in Iraq, chickenhawk. And will save America from worse losses resulting from its obeisance to a bandit state which garners us nothing but hatred in the teeming Moslem world while scaring pussies into suck-up surrender.

4 Funny, KKKen, that the only response you find acceptable to jihadi terror is abject surrender.

I somehow don't believe you will ever think we have done enough to appease the Muslim extremists until we built them gas chambers and crematoria to help them efficiently rid the world of the evil JOOOOOOOOOS -- just like your hero Adolph tried to do.

You are the one who has surrendered to a hybrid heteredox religion. I simply advocate removing our unwanted presence from the Moslem world, which is not surrender, but both ethical and strategically sound, considering the real threat to the Nation,(contrasted with Empire) comes from the Hispanic invasion.

Lebanese poll!...Christian and Muslim alike grow in antipathy for America due to Bush's encouragement of the recent Israeli barbarism in their proud country.

7 KKKen -- there is really a simple formula.

If Lebanon quits allowing the Hezbollah terrorists to use Lebanese terrorists to attack Israeli civilian targets, then Israel will not find it necessary to turn the entire country of Lebanon into pea gravel.

If they continue to allow Hezbolla or other terrorists to operate within their territory, I really don't give a shit what any Lebanese (or other Arab) thinks.

And the Arab and Moslem world, which is slowly but surely reducing the US and Israel's unwanted power in their part of the world, could care less that you refer to freedom fighters as "terrorists."

9 Then let them die beside their so-called "freedom fighters" -- as should all who support/sympathize with them.
