I've been a stalwart for national security.

This program has been successful in detecting and preventing attacks inside the United States.

I believe that successfully addressing our national security needs while protecting our basic freedoms and civil liberties requires continual Congressional oversight, and I will continue to work to assert the role of this body in carrying out this grave responsibility.

One of our pillars has to be national security - our nation's security both domestically and abroad.

We have built as a government something called the National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force, NCIJTF, where 19 federal agencies sit together and divide up the work. See the threat, see the challenge, divide it up and share information.

National security is the first duty of government but we are also committed to reversing the substantial erosion of civil liberties.

I didn't spend a lot of time on national security the American people will be glad to know.

I think overall our national security is strengthened if we are able to make the decisions that we need and the alliances that we believe in outside the current structures of the European Union.

I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.

I'm very confident that the solutions that we are developing are going to be effective not only in application in Iraq, but also will be very helpful for potential homeland security situations as well.
