Jon Huntsman on Homeland SecurityRepublican UT Governor |
SANTORUM: We created the Department of Homeland Security because there was a complete mess in the internal [workings] in protecting our country.
HUNTSMAN: The greatest gift we could give this country on the 10th year anniversary of 9-11 is a Homeland Security Department that really works, that doesn't give people a sense when they walk through they're going to get shaken down, a department that doesn't make us all feel like there's a fortress security mentality that is not American. And I've got to say there's something wrong with that.
HUNTSMAN: I think we've lost our confidence as a country. I think we have had our innocence shattered. I think, 10 years later, we look at the situation and we say, we have 100,000 troops in Afghanistan. This is not about nation-building in Afghanistan. This is about nation-building at home. Our core is broken. We are weak. We have got to strengthen ourselves. I say we've got to bring those troops home.
