                   ENDING TERRORISM ONCE AND FOR ALL

  (Mrs. BLACKBURN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, this morning we have heard some sad 
reports that the bodies of our missing soldiers have been found.
  Mr. Speaker, our hearts are with those families and with our entire 
Fort Campbell family. And to those who have claimed responsibility, 
whether they are actually responsible or not, and I want to respond to 
that statement and quote them, the Mudjadeen Shura Council, they are 
terrorists, Mr. Speaker, and this is their quote: ``The strongest army 
in the world is turned around, ashamed of their failure.''
  Mr. Speaker, no, we are ashamed of these, and I use the term lightly, 
these human beings, who believe they have the right to maim and murder 
innocent people here in America and in the Middle East and do it in the 
name of religion.
  Mr. Speaker, they could not be more wrong about how this country 
feels. We are proud of our military men and women, I am so proud of 
those families at Fort Campbell, and we are proud of the dedication to 
ending decades of terrorism once and for all.
