                  ISIS AND THE EXTREMIST SHIITE CABAL

  (Mr. SHERMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SHERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I just want to further the remarks of the 
gentleman from Illinois who just spoke.
  There are those who think we can just go after ISIS. Keep in mind, 
the Shiite extremist alliance of Tehran, of Assad, of Hezbollah has 
killed far more Americans than ISIS has, starting with our marines in 
the 1980s, and including hundreds of our servicepeople in Iraq and 
Afghanistan. They have killed far more civilians than ISIS ever aspired 
to, over 200,000 in Syria alone.
  Finally, as long as Assad is in power in Syria, the Sunni community 
will be rising up in rebellion. Assad doesn't fight ISIS; but he did, 
in effect, by his policies, create ISIS.
  In addition, the extremist Shiites around Maliki in Baghdad did the 
same in Iraq by oppressing the Sunni community of Iraq and giving rise 
to this ISIS scourge. Let us remember, we have got to go after ISIS and 
the extremist Shiite cabal.
