                         THE FACE OF THE ENEMY

  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. POE. Mr. Speaker, in a few days Americans will see the face of 
the enemy. He will set foot on American soil and speak before the 
United Nations.
  President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, the person who denies the 
Holocaust ever happened and wants Israel decimated and destroyed, 
insists he is not making nuclear bombs but just nuclear power. No one 
believes him, and why should we?
  This is the same man who is accused of holding U.S. soldiers hostage 
after taking the U.S. embassy in Tehran. And some people say this 
picture proves it; here he is with an American hostage that he is 
holding.
  But the Iranian attack on our embassy in 1979 is overshadowed by IEDs 
in Iraq, supplied by Iran, to kill American soldiers every day. In a 
recent interview, he did not deny having suicide bombers ready to 
strike America.
  We would never have invited Lenin, Stalin, Hitler or Mussolini to the 
U.S. Now we are welcoming this terrorist on American soil. Instead of 
receiving keys to the city, shouldn't he receive keys to the jailhouse?
  And that's just the way it is.
