Haley Barbour on Homeland Security

Republican MS Governor

Defense industry is economic bright spot for MS

An economic bright spot is our defense industry. Navistar’s new IMG facility at West Point employs some 800. Northrup Grumman’s shipyards have just won new multi-billion dollar ship contracts. General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Rolls Royce: our traditional defense contractors are strong. And we’ve added some new defense industries, such as EAD’s American Eurocopter & RTI International Metals. The defense industry, like energy, is not subject to the same economic variables as most other sectors. Source: 2008 State of the State address to state legislature , Jan 21, 2008

The US must secure peace through strength and dominance

Political leadership: The US must be prepared to act on its own when our national interests so require.
Economic strength: The US must continue to improve its own competitiveness.
Military power: The US must provide the resources necessary to protect its territory and interests.
