Rudy Giuliani: “UK Has The Best Intelligence Services In The World,” Except For Maybe Israel

video
» 4 comments

Rudy Giuliani is making the media rounds again to discuss and mostly commend the police work that prevented a major terror attack from happening in Times Square last night. Talking terror on CNN, Giuliani noted that investigations can only ever be “right 99% of the time,” and compared the success in New York to the London subway attacks of 2005. In making that comparison, he noted that “the UK has the best intelligence services in the world, only equal to Israel.” Uh, is Giuliani forgetting something again?

Giuliani noted that the “police work was excellent” in the incredibly quick effort to catch suspect Faisel Shahzad, with the caveat that he might be a little biased towards the NYPD. But then, in listing the intelligence efforts abroad, he noted that the only country whose intelligence services could match the UK’s is Israel’s. Which begs the question: how well does America rank on Giuliani’s intelligence list?

    It is the best in the world when George Bush and Dick Cheney are in charge and they are free to capture,detain, and torture people without accountability.

    Yeah!! I totally agree with you. Mossad is the best intelligence agency in the world. It has conducted many secret operations in the world successfully. For example it killed all the persons involved in 1971 Munich Olympic massacre one by one secretly. Everyone knew that it was mossad behind all those assassinations.

    Are you serious mediate? Does anyone edit this stuff? Intelligence services, such as the Mossad, CIA, ISI, MI6, are just that, intelligence services. They are not law enforcement agencies. NYPD, the FBI are law enforcement agencies.

    You are comparing apples to oranges. Giuliani was completely right – you just made mediate look like a bunch of fools.
