Sorry Al-Qaida, No Unsupervised Phone Calls!

“It is said that prior to the attacks of September 11th, our government failed to connect the dots of the conspiracy. We now know that two of the hijackers in the United States placed telephone calls to al-Qaida operatives overseas. But we did not know about their plans until it was too late. So to prevent another attack – based on authority given to me by the Constitution and by statute – I have authorized a terrorist surveillance program to aggressively pursue the international communications of suspected al-Qaida operatives and affiliates to and from America. Previous presidents have used the same constitutional authority I have – and Federal courts have approved the use of that authority. Appropriate Members of Congress have been kept informed. This terrorist surveillance program has helped prevent terrorist attacks. It remains essential to the security of America. If there are people inside our country who are talking with al-Qaida, we want to know about it – because we will not sit back and wait to be hit again.” – President Bush (State of the Union Address 2006 – Read the complete speech)

This is my favorite quote from the State of the Union Address that President Bush gave on Tuesday (1/31). This is what all freedom loving Americas should want to hear their President say. You will never hear liberals saying stuff like this.

When Bush said, “If there are people inside our country who are talking with al-Qaida, we want to know about it” I agreed with him. My reason for agreeing with Bush is because he was right. Just think about it, if we sit back and do nothing and allow Al-Qaida to freely communicate with people within our boarders, we are putting our security at risk. Which means our chance of being attacked again will be higher—therefore, Bush’s plan to start a terrorist surveillance program to pursue the international communications of possible al-Qaida members is the responsible thing to do, and it is also the right thing to do. But of course liberals will attack Bush’s plan, so your best bet is to simply ignore them.
