                 HOPEFULLY THE PRESIDENT CHANGES COURSE

  (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 am grateful for the 
President's decision to target Abu Sayyaf where Special Operations 
Forces heroically carried out a successful mission. I hope this is a 
change of course where the President takes action to stop further 
attacks on American families for a strategy of victory.
  Sadly, the same day, ISIL murderers seized the Anbar capital of 
Ramadi, holding one-third of Iraq, revealing the President's failure to 
negotiate a Status of Forces Agreement. This follows the mass murder of 
Muslim pilgrims in Karachi, Pakistan, and Egyptian Christians in Libya. 
Radical Islamic attacks are increasing worldwide with the murder of 
Jews in Paris, the killing of troops at Fort Hood, and the stabbing in 
London.
  Incredibly, the President continues negotiations with the murderous 
ideology of Tehran while they continue development of intercontinental 
ballistic missiles to fulfill their goal of death to America, death to 
Israel. Hopefully, the President will divert policies to establish a 
legacy of peace through strength. The President can avoid a legacy of 
continued attacks by terrorists who have declared war on the American 
people.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President by his 
actions never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
