         THE LITTLE FELLOW FROM THE DESERT AND HIS ITCHY FINGER

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Madam Speaker, the little fellow in the desert has 
been at it again. Iran's usurper President Ahmadinejad that calls the 
Holocaust a myth has made it clear he wants nuclear weapons and 
intercontinental ballistic missiles to destroy Israel and the United 
States. And now the tiny tyrant is in New York City spreading hate at 
the U.N.
  A leaked document says that Iran has all the elements they need to 
build a nuclear weapon. They have been working with North Korea on 
missiles, missiles with more distance and more accuracy.
  The unstable situation demands that we put a complete missile defense 
system in place. We are leaving ourselves and our allies vulnerable, 
but the administration last week scrapped our missile defense system 
that's based in Poland, and they also cut our radar systems in the 
Czech Republic. Believe it or not, this country cannot stop a missile 
fired at us. One would think that would be a priority.
  Why are the American people left vulnerable to any tin pot 
totalitarian with an itchy trigger finger? The government's main job is 
to defend the

American people, even from gun-toting little thugs who are determined 
to have an international shoot-out with the United States.
  And that's just the way it is.
