Missile defense would have done nothing to stop 9/11.

I believe National Missile Defense is one of the key foreign policy and national security issues that we will face in the coming decades.

I believe it would be folly and far too costly to place too much of an emphasis on missile defense.

Given the high cost and the still uncertain and untested technology, I found it surprising that President Bush has declared his intention to deploy a nation-wide missile defense this year.

We are going to set a goal that by the year 2020, 20 percent of America's electricity is going to be produced by alternative and renewable sources.

Okay, thank you, Senator Leahy.

Thank you, Senator Shelby and Senator DeWine for staying to the end.

To the extent that terrorists have gone to Iraq, that's a pretty good place to fight them, is it not?

To what extent does sticking to the June 30 transfer date and handing over at least the political authority in Iraq to an Iraqi entity undermine terrorists' arguments in Iraq, or elsewhere for that matter?

There will be some additional questions which will be submitted for your response in the record.

Hamas and terrorists should stop violence and to allow some positive developments to take place.

Our current-day enemies are as ruthless as the Nazis and as devious as the kamikaze pilots who struck without warning.

no man can tame a tiger into a kitten by stroking it. There can be no reasoning with an incendiary bomb.

To be sure there can be no armistice or peace treaty with terrorists.

To what extent is the well-publicized decision by Spain and Honduras to withdraw their troops from Iraq going to embolden terrorists or in general create a problem for us?

Then they still are a haven to some extent for terrorists?

There are some that have suggested that by going on offense and taking the fight to the terrorists we're creating more terrorists.

Some in this country have argued, and you certainly have heard the argument, that the effort in Iraq is somehow detracting from the war on terrorism.
