John Cornyn: “I agree with the argument the Senator from New Hampshire has made about the importance of our prosecuting the war…”

“I agree with the argument the Senator from New Hampshire has made about the importance of our prosecuting the war against terror and particularly what has been called by the terrorists themselves "the central front in the war on terror" in Iraq. Some of our colleagues have introduced a resolution, which the Senator has spoken to, which is a nonbinding sense-of-the-Senate resolution. I heard others this morning talk about imposing caps on the number of troops we might deploy there. I ask the distinguished Senator from New Hampshire, if it is so important that we not fail in Iraq and that the region not descend into either a failed state or a launching pad for future terrorist attacks or a regional conflict ensue, does he not believe it would be important for those who criticize the President's announced plan to offer a constructive alternative of their own, if they believe that the President's chosen plan is not the best course of action?”
