Winning The War on Terrorism
WINNING THE WAR ON TERRORISM -- (House of Representatives - September 07, 2006)
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, while traveling by bus through the 10 counties of South Carolina's Second Congressional District last month, I spoke with constituents about the resolve of America for victory in the global war on terrorism. I repeatedly heard that we must maintain our resolve for winning this war to protect American families.
As several recent successes prove, we are winning the war on terrorism. Nine men suspected of plotting a terrorist attack in Denmark have been arrested. British police detained 14 people suspected of operating terrorist training camps. Iraqi authorities arrested the number two al Qaeda murderer in Iraq. U.S. and British authorities stopped a plot to target U.S.-bound airplanes. Germany and India foiled terrorist attacks in their homelands.
Countries that were reluctant to join with us in the war on terrorism are learning they cannot escape its effects. This is not just a war against America; this is a war against all freedom-loving nations.
With four sons in the military, I am grateful for the dedication of American serv ice mem bers symbolized by the heroism of Cpl David Weimortz of Irmo.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September 11.
