Giuliani ready against Alien Menace!

Post by Nephtys »

X-COM Funding Increase!
WASHINGTON (CNN) – Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani often stresses his ability to protect America from terrorist threats, but what about from enemies beyond this planet?

Campaigning in Exeter, New Hampshire Sunday, the New York Republican was asked by a young questioner what he would do if aliens attacked the United States, according to the Associated Press.

"Of all the things that can happen in this world, we'll be prepared for that. Yes we will," Giuliani said, noting that he had never fielded a question about potential attacks from outer space before.

"We'll be prepared for anything that happens," he added.

Be SCARED ALL THE TIME. But FEEL SAFE WITH ME! Ah, so sophisticated our culture is...not at all the primitive herd instincts of a common mammal.

To be fair, I don't know what would have been a proper answer for that question, except perhaps "what institution did you escape from?".

Unless they'll be the Signs aliens, I doubt we can make much of a stand against aliens capable of interstellar travel mr. Giuliani :roll:

Given that the person was described as a "young questioner", I suspect it was actually a kid.

Guys, I am sorry to say that Stargate Command is being moved from Chyanne. Its new expanded complex will be moved to Rudy's own home city of New York. They will deal with crime... With Fancy Alien Technologies.

Actually, I wouldn't mind if the NYPD was armed with Zats. It'd give them a good, ranged nonlethal option.

Until someone screws up and shoots the criminal twice. Maybe if they could disable that function of the Zat...

I'm more concerned with the NYPD with the 'three shots, vanish' schtick.

Well it's not their fault, really. I mean, people keep thinking the internet's a big truck. It's not, it's a series of tubes.

So...he's humouring the kid. Right.

I guess he's really not ready, then? In which case the thread title is wrong. I was disappointed.
