IRANIAN TALKS THREATEN NATIONAL SECURITY
(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, I appreciate the forceful
warnings of South Carolina senior Senator Lindsey Graham about the
President's negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program.
Senator Graham has stated that the administration ``needs to
understand that this Iranian regime cares more about trying to weaken
America and push us out of the Middle East than cooperating with us.
Until we recognize that reality and formulate a regional strategy to
counter the Iranian regime's malign influence, we will continue to harm
U.S. national security interests.''
The Iranians have not earned the right to be trusted. Despite years
of their misleading nuclear inspectors and ignoring international calls
to suspend enrichment while developing ballistic missiles, incredibly,
the administration continues to acquiesce to a dangerous deal.
Senator Graham has been a Paul Revere--warning of regional threats,
holding the President accountable for his national security mistakes.
He promotes congressional approval on any deal reached with Iran.
Together, sanctions should be promoted which will stop further nuclear
blackmail and promote the safety of Israel and our regional allies.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and the President should take
action to never forget September the 11th in the global war on
terrorism.
