                      WINNING IN THE WAR ON TERROR

  (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, America was thrust into 
war on September 11, 2001, when our Nation was viciously attacked by 
terrorists who seek to destroy American freedoms. Since that event, the 
U.S. military has been winning the war on terrorism, guided by the 
courageous leadership of President George W. Bush.
  Recognizing the true threat posed by the global network of terrorism 
who work closely with outlaw regimes, President Bush laid out a bold 
and decisive plan. America will not wait for another September 11 to 
occur before we take action to defend the American people.
  In the past 2\1/2\ years, our men and women in uniform, backed by 
dozens of coalition allies, have ended the oppressive terrorist 
supporting regimes of the Taliban in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein in 
Iraq. This protects American families.
  Americans can be assured that, thanks to the commitment of President 
Bush and the valor of American military, that we will continue to win 
the war on terrorism, despite more attacks worldwide.

  In conclusion, may God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11.
