The campaign of one of Rudy Giuliani’s rivals was particularly unimpressed with his response to a question yesterday.

Fox News Reporter: McCain has begun using Iraq against his rivals. McCain: I was criticized by not being loyal to the president. We have a new strategy which is what I supported and what is succeeding. Fox News Reporter: Giuliani arrived here to file for the primary, then responded to McCain’s assertion that he did not complain early enough about problems with the U.S. mission in Iraq. Giuliani: I had my own questions about it, but I was not in a position to be an adviser.

The rival campaign remarks, “Yes, it’s not like he was invited to be on the Iraq Study Group or anything.”
