                            JUSTICE 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. Mr. Speaker, last night the brave men 
and women of the United States Armed Forces, with Iraqi security 
forces, delivered a major victory in the global war on terrorism.
  Because of their tremendous patience, courage and skill, the most 
wanted terrorist in Iraq is now dead. And as President Bush has said, 
there is justice in Iraq.
  As the operational commander of the terrorist movement in Iraq, al-
Zarqawi delighted in the devastation of Iraq and the destruction of 
life. As the mastermind behind countless car bombings, mass murders and 
assassinations, he was responsible for the brutal deaths of many 
Americans and thousands of innocent Iraqis.
  Today's victory in Iraq is a testament to the tremendous talent of 
the United States military. By risking their lives to kill terrorists 
in Iraq, these brave men and women are protecting the lives of American 
families and making our country safer.
  As we celebrate this incredible milestone, I rise to express my 
sincere gratitude to our brave troops and our Iraqi allies.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11.
