John Cornyn has an editorial on National Review Online responding to the Democrats plans today to unveil their so-called security promises/agenda.

This afternoon, congressional Democrats will, at long last, unveil their security "agenda," something they call "Real Security." Unfortunately, the culture of obstruction they have created on important matters of national security demonstrates a profound misunderstanding of the nature of the war on terror, and the policies necessary to secure our country.

Recent political criticisms and attacks on the president and on the Republican leadership in the U.S. Senate are beyond the pale — most notably when it comes from those who fought reauthorization of important measures that protect our country, such as the USA Patriot Act, and those who have criticized critical intelligence-gathering authorities.
[...]

Today Democrats will profess support for the following "policies": Eliminate Osama bin Laden; destroy al Qaeda; finish the job in Afghanistan; increase human-intelligence capabilities; eliminate terrorist breeding grounds; transition to full Iraqi sovereignty and promote stability in the region; increase investment in military manpower; implement the remaining 9/11 Commission recommendations; secure the nation's ports; and eliminate dependence on foreign sources of energy by encouraging the use of alternative fuel sources.

Sound familiar? It should. These are all efforts that the administration and Republican Congress have implemented, or that Democrats have delayed or otherwise blocked.
