Democrat Obstructionism

DEMOCRAT OBSTRUCTIONISM -- (House of Representatives - November 16, 2005)

(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, Democrats and President Bush have consistently and truthfully said that Saddam Hussein was a threat to our country. In the 2002 war debate, Senator HILLARY CLINTON said, ``If left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continued to increase his capability to wage biological and chemical warfare.'' Liberal Democrat NANCY PELOSI declared, ``Saddam Hussein certainly has chemical and biological weapons.'' Howard Dean vowed, ``There is no question that Saddam Hussein is a threat to the United States and our allies.''

However, since losing the 2004 election, Democrats have developed a disturbing case of obstructionism and now falsely claim that President Bush exaggerated the threat posed by Saddam Hussein. Why would Democrats go from agreeing with President Bush in supporting our mission in Iraq to slandering our Commander in Chief and questioning our troops' efforts? Politics, pure and simple politics.

In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September 11.
