National Security
The events of September 11, 2001, galvanized
our country and our allies in a global fight against terrorism
and those who would shelter, support, and finance the terrorist
network that carried out these heinous acts.
Our first national security priority must be the fight against
the terrorist networks that attacked our country on September
11. I am concerned that some of the Administration's actions
have led the United States to shift critical military, intelligence,
and other resources away from combating al Qaeda and related
networks. I believe that our security interests would be better
served by devoting these resources to tracking down and destroying
the terrorist networks that attacked and continue to threaten
this country.
I will continue to work to ensure that Congress provides the
resources necessary to win the fight against terrorism and
protect our national security.
