Pelosi Statement on Republicans Politicizing the War on Terror

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on the Republicans politicizing the war on terror:

"The terrorist plot in Great Britain is another call to action that we must do everything possible to make America safer. As the independent and bipartisan 9/11 Commission warned, we are far from providing the real security the American people need.

"Mr. Cheney's inflammatory comments about Democrats and the war on terror are beneath the dignity of the office of the Vice President and are a disservice to the safety of American people.

"Our first responsibility as elected officials is the security of the American people. Partisan politicking during this critical time undermines this obligation and Republican scare tactics fail to make America safer. We must work together for a new direction that that provides real security for the American people."
