  George Pataki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Elmer Pataki (born June 24, 1945) is the current Governor of New York State, USA and has held that office since January 1995, and as of June 2006 is the longest-serving of the current 50 U.S. governors.
Pataki and Giuliani appointed the LMDC to distribute nearly $10 billion in federal grants and to oversee the construction of a memorial, though as of September 2006 the latter has not begun.
Pataki came under criticism when it was revealed that he and his staff did not inform Donohue that she was acting governor the first time, until after Pataki had woken up and resumed power.

George E. Pataki, the 53rd Governor of New York State, is currently the longest serving Governor in the United States.
Governor Pataki is New York State's first Republican-Conservative chief executive, defeating the Democratic Party's liberal icon Mario Cuomo in November of 1994 to win his first term as Governor.

 Politics1: Presidency 2000 - George Pataki (R-NY)
Pataki's friends have floated the Presidential trial balloon for 2000 -- and Pataki's creation of a federal PAC in January 1999 have done nothing to quelch those rumors.
Pataki's ongoing, bitter feud with New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) -- Giuliani endorsed Cuomo over Pataki in 1994 and Pataki is trying to find a GOP opponent for Giuliani in the 2000 US Senate primary -- will likely split Pataki's GOP base of support in his home state.
Pataki may be the only unannounced contender who could enter rather late and still be seen as somewhat viable.

Second, The WTC destruction was not the "cause" of the "War on Terrorism;" it was a convenient excuse used by the Administration to advance objectives that have been over 10 years in formulation.
