In this time, you can see a new consensus emerging. That may not be clear in an election year. First, on security. By and large, U.S. citizens agree that we must pay as much attention to new threats as we do to the old and lasting fear of war. In the last days of 1999, terrorists were arrested at our borders trying to bring in explosives.
Terrorism is real.
No one knows that better than Oklahomans. Here, it was U.S. citizens who shattered lives. But the threat from abroad is constant. Stopping terrorists is a foreign policy, defense, and intelligence issue. All of us work together for you.
