                        PRESIDENT OBAMA'S LEGACY

  (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, earlier this week, 
President Obama admitted that he does not have a complete strategy to 
fight ISIL, which he belittled as junior varsity, putting American 
families at risk. The President should change course to prevent more 
failed foreign policies.
  Under his watch, the victory he cited in Iraq has evolved into the 
beheading of Americans and mass murder of Muslims by ISIL/Daesh. Safe 
havens exist to murder Americans worldwide.
  Under his watch, Syria crossed his red line when it used chemical 
weapons to kill opposition yet faced no consequences. Iran continues 
with nuclear weapons development, building intercontinental ballistic 
missiles to achieve their goal of death to Israel, death to America.
  Under his watch, Putin's regime invaded Ukraine, leaving over 7,000 
dead, and extremists threaten American allies from the Baltics to 
central and southeastern Europe.
  Under his watch, murder and kidnappings have swept Libya, Nigeria, 
Yemen, and Kenya, which the President should address with peace through 
strength.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President by his 
actions never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
