DAR AL HARB - U.S.A.: GIULIANI CALLS OUT DHIMMI DEMS

Giuliani to Dems: Use the words 'Islamic terrorists'

Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani took Democratic White House hopefuls to task Monday for being soft on terrorists and hard on capitalism.

Speaking to an invited audience of about 100 local GOP members, the former New York mayor said he was concerned that if a Democrat wins the White House the nation would take a defensive stance in "the war on terror" and become more vulnerable to a domestic attack.

"At no time during their three debates have they used the words 'Islamic terrorists,'" Giuliani said of the Democratic contenders who as he spoke were debating at The Citadel military college in South Carolina. "If they do tonight, I will take credit for it."

Giuliani, an outspoken critic of attempts by the Democrat-controlled Congress to set a deadline for withdrawing troops from Iraq, added that Democrats were trying to ignore the continued threat from terrorism.

"We are in a war with Islamic terrorists. No matter how much avoiding you do, it's not going to go away," he said, sparking robust applause.

Addressing the issue of international trade, Giuliani similarly accused the "pessimistic, defeatist" Democrats of using tariffs and scare tactics to thwart the opportunities available to the United States in the growing economies of China and India. If elected, he said, he would actively promote bilateral trade agreements with developing countries.

"This is one of the things they do not understand, whether it's Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama or John Edwards - they do not understand a capitalistic economy. They think it's bad to make money," he said, adding that he sees no shame in someone wanting to be rich.

Giuliani devoted most of his appearance to outlining his vision for weaning the U.S. off foreign oil.
