IREY: TERRORISTS CONTINUE TO PLOT
Thursday, August 10, 2006
(MONONGAHELA, August 10) -- Washington County Commissioner and Pennsylvania 12th district Republican Congressional nominee Diana Irey -- responding to the arrest in the UK of 21 alleged terrorists -- today released the following statement:
"Today's arrests in the United Kingdom represent a significant victory in the ongoing war on terror. I congratulate the intelligence and law enforcement agencies of the UK.
"The arrest of these 21 alleged terrorist plotters in the United Kingdom is a dramatic reminder that transnational terrorism is not confined merely to Irag, Afghanistan, and the Middle East. Those determined to seek our destruction continue to plot against us, and we must remain ever vigilant.
"The arrests should also serve as a reminder that our intelligence and law enforcement authorities need more weapons in the war on terror, not fewer. Tools such as the terrorist surveillance program and sophisticated financial tracking are indispensable in our ongoing efforts.
"Perhaps most importantly, these arrests remind us that the best defense is a good offense - that, rather than wait until after the bombs have gone off and thousands, or tens of thousands, of innocent lives been lost, we must continue to support efforts to strike pre-emptively, BEFORE the bombs go off."

"It's because we still have Bush as president. And Isreal is still there. And the US hasn't converted to Islam. Once we do that, they'll leave us alone."
