PRESIDENT OBAMA'S LEGACY
(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, earlier this week,
President Obama admitted that he does not have a complete strategy to
fight ISIL, which he belittled as junior varsity, putting American
families at risk. The President should change course to prevent more
failed foreign policies.
Under his watch, the victory he cited in Iraq has evolved into the
beheading of Americans and mass murder of Muslims by ISIL/Daesh. Safe
havens exist to murder Americans worldwide.
Under his watch, Syria crossed his red line when it used chemical
weapons to kill opposition yet faced no consequences. Iran continues
with nuclear weapons development, building intercontinental ballistic
missiles to achieve their goal of death to Israel, death to America.
Under his watch, Putin's regime invaded Ukraine, leaving over 7,000
dead, and extremists threaten American allies from the Baltics to
central and southeastern Europe.
Under his watch, murder and kidnappings have swept Libya, Nigeria,
Yemen, and Kenya, which the President should address with peace through
strength.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President by his
actions never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
