                   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.
