                    TIMES PICTURE REVEALS WAR TRUTHS

  (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, as a former journalist, I 
am saddened that much of the American media continues to play politics 
with the global war on terrorism, blame America, unfairly criticize our 
military, and bash President Bush.
  By accident, the driveby the New York Times on Saturday published a 
front-page picture of a mosque bombing which reveals details that the 
newspaper frequently fails to explain. Troops are identified as Iraqi 
commandos, verifying Iraqis are capable and equipped. The shoe bomber 
was a coward, mass-murdering innocent Iraqi worshipers, and not 
promoting a just insurgency. The homicide bomber attacked an easy 
target of convenience, prevented by Iraqi and coalition troops from 
murdering in the streets of America.
  From this picture, we can learn we must face the evil enemy overseas 
with our Iraqi allies, or American families will be more at risk at 
home. The only path to peace is victory in Iraq as the central front in 
the global war on terrorism.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11.
