WAR IN IRAQ MAKES U.S. LESS SECURE
(Ms. WOOLSEY asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. WOOLSEY. Mr. Speaker, as I listened to the President last night,
I questioned just how much longer he will milk the tragedy of 9/11 to
defend his actions in Iraq.
Maybe he does not know yet that the Iraq situation had nothing to do
with 9/11, but the people of this Nation absolutely do know; and what
we would want from the President and what we wanted last night was a
promise to the troops, to their families, and to this country that he
is putting together a plan to bring them home.
But, no. He continues to use 9/11 for his excuse for a preemptive
war, a war that has made the United States less secure, not more
secure.
