No, let's make sure that people understand that this is a very important war that is helping to protect us here at home. And that we have no choice but to win it. As difficult as it is.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No one ever said that fighting the war against terrorism and defending our homeland would be easy. So let's support our troops, law enforcement workers, and our mission to keep our nation and our children safe in the days and years to come.
I am certain - I am deadly certain that we cannot win this war unless we are free to call our enemy by name: Radical Islamicists and failed tyrants.
We are in a war on terrorism. We need to conduct that war and take it to the terrorists, not here at home.
This is a people's war, and to win it, the people should know as much about it as they can.
Going to war is a serious matter. And it should be done very carefully and deliberately with clear national interests at stake before the United States or our Commander-in-Chief acts.
This is now a global war on terror and, indeed, it is important, it is imperative that we win in the battles in Afghanistan and that we win in the battles in Iraq. And as the gentleman from Georgia has mentioned, this is not something that is going to be quick and easy.
We are at war, and our security as a nation depends on winning that war.
This war is not necessary. We are truly sleepwalking through history.
We must win in Iraq. If we withdraw, there will be chaos; there will be genocide; and they will follow us home.
We must fight and win the battle against terror overseas so we never have to fight it here at home.
