LITTLE KIM WANTS WAR WITH THE UNITED STATES
(Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, ``This is not directed at Japan. The
nuclear development is toward the United States,'' said an adviser to
North Korean dictator Kim Jung Un.
Frankly, Little Kim makes his father look normal. His saber-rattling
regime has once again attempted to fire intercontinental ballistic
missiles. Meanwhile, the administration is naively pursuing a strategy
they call ``strategic patience.'' In layman's language, that means
``doing nothing.''
This hopeless appeasement policy has not worked. The North Korean
plan is to launch nuclear missiles from submarines at the United
States. Isn't that lovely?
The rogue state's belligerency has put the entire region at grave
risk of aggression, nuclear proliferation, and war.
Historically, North Korea, like Iran, was a state sponsor of
terrorism. Eight years ago, the United States withdrew the designation
when North Korea lied and promised to halt its nuclear program. But
North Korea continues to develop nukes.
Strategic patience is a blissfully ignorant failed foreign policy.
North Korea must have consequences for its aggressive and belligerent
actions. Time to put Junior Kim's regime back on the State Sponsors of
Terrorism list, because he is a terror to world peace.
And that is just the way it is.
