               NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN THE HANDS OF TERRORISTS

  (Mr. KIRK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)

[[Page 5522]]


  Mr. KIRK. Mr. Speaker, two Middle Eastern newspapers reported today 
that Syria has transferred scud missiles to a terrorist group in 
Lebanon. This repeats actions by Iran and Syria in 2006 when they gave 
cruise missiles to Hezbollah. It shows that the Syrians and Iranians 
have no wish to control their arsenals. They will transfer any weapon 
they own to terrorist groups. These reports tell us two things:
  First, the U.N. army that we sent to Lebanon in 2006 is an utter 
failure that makes no effort to stop the largest missiles from 
deploying next to their very own U.N. camps. Second, it shows that, 
once Iran makes nuclear weapons, it will transfer them to terrorists 
like Hezbollah and who knows who else.
