[Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA)] lashed back with an indictment of the Republicans' counterterrorism policies. Landrieu said, "America is not tired of fighting terrorism; America is tired of the wrongheaded and boneheaded leadership of the Republican Party that has sent six-and-a-half billion dollars a month to Iraq while the front line was Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. ... Americans are tired of boneheaded Republican leadership that alienates our allies when we need them the most." She added, "I most certainly am not going to sit here as a Democrat and let the Republican leadership come to the floor and talk about 'Democrats are not making us safe.' They're the ones in charge, and Osama bin Laden is still at loose."
