we have been hearing a great deal lately from the Democrats about their ideas on how to fight and how to win the war on terror. But yesterday I was listening to the White House press secretary, Tony Snow, give his daily briefing. I thought he summed up the Democrats' position on the war on terror very clearly. He said: ``There have been some in the Democratic Party who have argued against the PATRIOT Act, against the terrorist surveillance program, against Guantanamo. In other words, there are some who say that we should not fight the war, we should not apprehend al Qaeda, we should not detain al Qaeda, we should not question al Qaeda, we should not listen to al Qaeda. In other words, they are all for winning the war on terror, but they are against providing the tools for winning that war.'' Mr. Speaker, now those same people want America to entrust them with power, to set national policy in the war on terror. And this month we will be addressing many issues important to the security of our Nation: defending against terror, prosecuting terrorists, securing our borders. I urge every American to watch how each Representative and each party votes on these very important issues, and they will each know which party truly stands for security from terror. ____________________
