                IRAN AND FAILED PRESIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP

  (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, the President's failure to 
lead our Nation for a strategy of peace through strength has resulted 
in mass murders in the Middle East.
  We have seen his failure to take action after Syria violated his 
declared ``red line'' and used chemical weapons against its citizens. 
We have seen his failure in recognizing ISIL-Daesh as a deadly threat 
to American families as the ``JV'' team. The President has been 
inaccurate in describing his dangerous nuclear deal.
  Sadly, we read tragic stories of men, women, and children fleeing 
their homes in Syria. They are escaping a murderous government, the 
same government propped up by the Iranian regime. The President is 
establishing a failed dangerous legacy that has left the Middle East in 
wars and mayhem with refugees and migrants drowning at sea.
  Ambassador John Bolton said it best when he remarked:

       Obama's mistakes make it impossible to travel in time back 
     to a theoretical world where sanctions might have derailed 
     Iran's nuclear weapons program.

  I believe the President has abandoned the young people of Iran 
seeking regime change.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President by his 
actions never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
