     STARK DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PARTIES IN APPROACH TO WAR ON TERROR

  (Mrs. BLACKBURN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, there is a stark difference in the way 
the Republicans and the Democrats approach this war on terror. There 
are many of the liberal elites who want to disengage and would like to 
leave broad swaths of this planet to terrorists. This course of action 
would lead to a lot of pain and suffering for future generations, for 
our children, for our grandchildren. It also would embolden the 
terrorists who are watching everything that we do and would lead to 
more strikes on U.S. soil.
  After 9/11, our country made a decision that enough was enough and 
that it was time to fight back after two decades of terrorist strikes. 
It was time for us to protect our national security, and yes, indeed, 
because of our men and women in uniform, we have, and they are doing it 
brilliantly.
  Is every day in this battle a victory? No. Is it easy? No. Is it very 
difficult? Incredibly so. But the important thing, it is a necessary 
fight and we are winning.
