John Culberson: “Mr. Chairman, I think the best evidence of the President's success in winning this war against terrorism is the silence…”

“Mr. Chairman, I think the best evidence of the President's success in winning this war against terrorism is the silence outside, the absence of any attack on our homeland since September 11, when terrorists used 737s as fuel air bombs and flew them into buildings, two in New York and one here. I think it is proof of the President's good judgment, the fact that we can trust this good man; that he has so successfully fought this war against terrorism, war on terrorism that he has prevented any further attacks in the United States. With the knowledge that he has of the scope of the threat and where it lies around the world, the President of the United States made the measured judgment to go after the dictator in Iraq, not only to enforce the sanctions that the United Nations imposed, not only to free the Iraqi people from this terrible, brutal dictator; but, most importantly, Mr. Chairman, the President of the United States of America is fighting this war to protect Americans here at home.”
