                           HON. CORRINE BROWN

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, December 16, 2005

  Ms. CORRINE BROWN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the Iraqi 
people on a successful election, and movement toward democracy.
  I rise today to denounce the Republican leadership for manipulating 
the War in Iraq for political gain.
  However, I want to stand up here and reiterate my opposition to the 
invasion of Iraq.
  I have said it before and I will say it again.
  I am against this war. Our troops have become the targets of the 
insurgents in Iraq who want us out of their country.
  I knew that once we got into the war, there was no getting out. Many 
of our young men and women were going to get killed for the personal 
gain of the President.
  There is no correlation between 9-11 and the War in Iraq.
  Let me repeat: There is no correlation between 9-11 and the war in 
Iraq!
  There was no faulty intelligence. We have people in key positions 
lying to the American people.
  Get Us Out of Iraq!
