We Need To Defeat Al Queda And Other Terrorist Organizations.

Ironically, The Canadian Naval Vessels, Aircraft And Personnel In The Persian Gulf I Mentioned Earlier Who Are Fighting Terrorism Will Provide More Support Indirectly To This War In Iraq Than Most Of The 46 Countries That Are Fully Supporting Our Efforts There.

We Want To Look At How We Would Respond Because, As Hard As We Work To Prevent Terrorist Attacks Here North America, If We Have A Catastrophic Terrorist Attack, It Is The Military That Is Going To Have To Go In At The Request Of Civilian Authorities.

Like Canada, We Very Much Wanted The United Nations To Be A Relevant And Effective Body. But Once Those Efforts Failed, We No Longer Saw Things From A Multilateral Perspective. For Us, Now, It Is Much More Basic Than That. It Is About Family.

The Agreement To Place The Binational Planning Group At Our New Northern Command Was Also Signed In December.
