                         AMERICA NEEDS A CHANGE

  (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, as American families 
continue to be under attack from radical Islam, it can be credited 
President Obama was correct on December 14, 2011, addressing troops at 
Fort Bragg: ``We are leaving behind a sovereign, stable, and self-
reliant Iraq . . . a moment of success.''
  Clearly, then-President George W. Bush's strategy of denying mass 
murderers safe havens to kill Americans anywhere was admitted 
successful. I am grateful my two oldest sons served in Iraq to protect 
American families.
  President Obama's failure to achieve a status of forces agreement in 
Iraq and his failure to uphold his declared red line in Syria led to 
murderous advances of ISIL/Daesh, which he publicly dismissed as junior 
varsity.
  I hope President Obama changes course for victory in the global war 
on terrorism, which began with the declarations of war in 1997 against 
America with a goal of death to America, death to Israel, and mass 
slaughter of Muslims who do not submit.
  President Obama's legacy should be peace through strength, not 
weakness, as future attacks threaten American families.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President by his 
actions never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
