                    SUCCESS IN THE WAR ON TERRORISM

  (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, tomorrow is the 2-year 
anniversary of the most heinous act of war this Nation has ever 
experienced. The September 11 attacks were made against unarmed 
Americans by a sadistic terrorist network beginning the war on 
terrorism.
  Today we are winning that war. Realizing the seriousness of the 
threat of our freedoms and liberties, our Commander in Chief, President 
Bush, has displayed true courage and leadership in hunting down 
terrorists all over the world and bringing them to justice. First by 
bringing down the barbaric Taliban in Afghanistan, and then by ending 
the evil regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, the men and women of our 
Armed Forces have eliminated the terrorist breeding grounds while 
bringing freedom to millions. Today, over 90 countries are part of the 
coalition against terrorism. Although we cannot predict the end of the 
war, we are thankful in 2 years since the 9/11 attacks there have not 
been other major attacks at home. While our Nation's resolve will be 
tested, I have faith with the President and his cabinet, we will 
continue winning the war on terrorism. May God bless our troops.
