New York Times: Giuliani Says He Is Running for President in â€™08

Rudolph W. Giuliani yesterday removed any lingering doubts that he was running for president, and, without mentioning President Bush by name, offered pointed criticism on how the Iraq war has been handled.

He said that the United States went to war with far too few forces and was wrong to dismantle Saddam Husseinâ€™s military and government, and he conceded that if more information had been available about Iraqâ€™s weapons, Congress never would have approved the war.

Mr. Giuliani has behaved like a presidential candidate for months, forming an exploratory committee, raising money, building a campaign staff and making appearances around the country. But until now, he has repeatedly stopped short of a definitive statement of his intentions â€” even joking about his nondeclarations in recent days.
