NAVY SEALS 1--BIN LADEN--0
(Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Mr. POE of Texas. Madam Speaker, Osama bin Laden has met his maker,
and we appreciate the Navy SEALs for arranging the meeting, but
Pakistan gives us some concern. It seems like Pakistan might be playing
both sides, and they have a lot of explaining to do.
For all these years, we believed that Osama bin Laden was on the run,
living in a cave; but, apparently, Satan's Pawn has been living for
years in a million-dollar compound just yards away from a Pakistani
military base, but Pakistan claims no knowledge of Osama bin Laden's
whereabouts. I just don't buy it.
I've introduced a bill that would require Congress and the American
people to get a full understanding of what Pakistan knew about bin
Laden's whereabouts and when they knew it, before we give them any more
American money. Congress has already appropriated $3 billion in aid to
Pakistan for this year; and unless Pakistan can prove that they were
not providing sanctuary for America's number one enemy, they should not
receive any American aid.
And that's just the way it is.
