I rise in support of this sense of Congress resolution. To me, this is simple: Yesterday's attack against America was not just a criminal act, it was an act of war. It is important to understand that these terrorists were specially trained soldiers and hit men in an army intent on destroying America and our way of life. They were willing to take their own lives in order to accomplish their military objectives. That is why America must not treat yesterday's tragedy as a criminal case, or simply seek justice. Rather, we must take it for what it is: an act of war that demands a swift, thorough, and decisive response from the United States Armed Forces. In short, we must strike back at those responsible. A military action, not subpoenas and courtrooms, is the only way to prevent this from happening again. We must bring these armies of terror and any country found to be aiding or abetting their actions to their knees. The time for talk is over.
