Mark Warner said "I listened carefully as my colleague from Michigan recited his argument. But I come back to his opening statement that this would make us ``less secure.'' We have nothing from which to go to a lesser security today, in terms of our ability tomorrow or tonight to interdict a stray, unintentional missile, or indeed one fired by a terrorist at the United States. Can we agree on that point?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com

I listened carefully as my colleague from Michigan recited his argument. But I come back to his opening statement that this would make us ``less secure.'' We have nothing from which to go to a lesser security today, in terms of our ability tomorrow or tonight to interdict a stray, unintentional missile, or indeed one fired by a terrorist at the United States. Can we agree on that point?
