As we continue the fight against terrorism, America faces an enemy determined to break the will of our people by attacking the values we hold dear. We must hold the line and ensure that both our intelligence community and our military have the tools and support they need to defend our nation.
I have had the honor to visit our troops in several overseas countries as they serve our nation. It is clear to me that our brave men and women not only understand the importance of their mission, but they are determined to complete it.
Navy SEALS, with guidance by the CIA, executed an incredible mission in Pakistan that resulted in the death of our most wanted terrorist, Osama Bin Laden. OBL is dead, but the fight goes on. Al Qaeda is endeavoring to rebuild its leadership and reestablish its terror network. We must equip our intelligence community and military with the necessary tools and funding to prosecute the war against terror. Our lives depend on it.
