NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN THE HANDS OF TERRORISTS
(Mr. KIRK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. KIRK. Mr. Speaker, two Middle Eastern newspapers reported today
that Syria has transferred scud missiles to a terrorist group in
Lebanon. This repeats actions by Iran and Syria in 2006 when they gave
cruise missiles to Hezbollah. It shows that the Syrians and Iranians
have no wish to control their arsenals. They will transfer any weapon
they own to terrorist groups. These reports tell us two things:
First, the U.N. army that we sent to Lebanon in 2006 is an utter
failure that makes no effort to stop the largest missiles from
deploying next to their very own U.N. camps. Second, it shows that,
once Iran makes nuclear weapons, it will transfer them to terrorists
like Hezbollah and who knows who else.
