CONSISTENTLY WRONG ON IRAQ
(Mr. PALLONE asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, President Bush brags about how consistent
he has been in his policy on Iraq. Unfortunately, Mr. Speaker, the
President has been consistently wrong.
President Bush was wrong about weapons of mass destruction. He was
wrong about any connection between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda. He was
wrong about not working to bring in our allies to join us in the war
against Iraq. He was wrong about sending our troops into battle without
the protective gear that they needed. He was wrong when he declared
``mission accomplished,'' and wrong again when he challenged terrorists
to ``bring it on.'' Finally, He was wrong when he did not plan for the
aftermath of the fall of Baghdad.
Mr. Speaker, President Bush has certainly been consistent about Iraq,
but he has been consistently wrong.
