Giuliani:  I would have thought, in the four or five months following September 11, that a bipartisan foreign policy would have emerged on terrorism, and the bipartisan foreign policy would be, "This is a long, long effort for us. We're going to have to be on offense." It means using the military in a proactive, anticipatory way--responsibly. Not all the time--only when you have to. But when there's a clear threat, it means using the Patriot Act, it means electronic surveillance, interrogation techniques that are legal but aggressive. Democrats want to cut back on all that. I believe that all has to be continued, and that we have to find better ways to do it.

WSJ: It seems the Bush administration wants to cut back on that too?

Giuliani:  Yeah, I don't. I think that Bush should not accept the mindset that he is weak. I think that he should be strong. He should even pretend to be strong if he has to. But the president should never act like he's weak. I hope he doesn't, and I have ultimate faith in George Bush.
