Scott Walker: “16 years ago today, atop a pile of rubble that just 3 days before stood tall as the World Trade Center, President Bush…”

“16 years ago today, atop a pile of rubble that just 3 days before stood tall as the World Trade Center, President Bush proclaimed to a hurting Nation: ``I can hear you, the rest of the world hears you.'' With bullhorn in hand and arm wrapped around a firefighter, he added: ``And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.'' That same day, Congress passed an Authorization for Use of Military Force to combat international terrorism. Today, that fight still continues, yet the international community has refused to define terrorism. How are we, and other nations, to fight a war against something that we cannot even define? Today, I am introducing the Define it to Fight it Act, a bill that withholds 10 percent of our contributions to the United Nations until they are willing to define national terrorism, the very thing that they are supposed to be fighting. To fulfill President Bush's promise, we must name our enemy and then make sure they hear us loud and clear, not just for our lifetime, but for generations to come. ____________________”
