President's Policy Deeply Unserious

Floor Speech

Date: Sept. 9, 2013
Issues: Defense

(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. Madam Speaker, over the past month, I have traveled by bus and car across all five counties I represent in the Second District of South Carolina, where I found my constituents agree with Charles Krauthammer in his column yesterday in The State newspaper of Columbia, South Carolina.

Mr. Krauthammer is recognized for his extraordinary insight and has identified the President's policy as ``stunning zigzag, following months of hesitation, ambivalence, contradiction, and studied delay''; the President ``having yet done nothing but hesitate, threaten, retract, and wander ..... claiming ..... not his own red line but the world's ..... a transparent attempt at offloading responsibility.''

``There's no strategy, no purpose here other than helping Obama escape self-inflicted humiliation.

``This is deeply unserious.''

The White House announced April 25 that Syria had chemical weapons, but only after 4 months of serious scandals, ObamaCare destroying jobs, and the upcoming debt debate vote, did it seek action. On my tour, I was inspired at the North Augusta Rotary Club by the four-way test: Is it the truth?

In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th, 2001, and September the 11th, 2012, at Benghazi in the global war on terrorism.
