                        SECURITY SUCCESS IN IRAQ

  (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. Madam Speaker, the American Forces 
Press Service reported on Monday that Iraqi and coalition forces have 
scored several successes against insurgent fighters, seizing weapons 
caches and capturing suspected enemies during missions over the past 
several days.
  From Karabilah to Ramadi, Iraqi troops and coalition forces have 
captured terrorists during raids and discovered weapons including hand 
grenades, rocket propelled grenade launch motors, sticks of plastic 
explosives, and AK-47 rifles. The Victory in Iraq Caucus is grateful to 
recognize their successes to protect American families in the central 
front of the global war on terrorism.
  With every terrorist they detain and each weapon they discover, Iraqi 
troops and American forces save lives and improve our security. The 
events over the past several days are commendable, but they are not 
unique. By facing the terrorists overseas, we are confronting mass 
murderers before they strike American families again at home.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11.
