Kayla Mueller

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about Kayla Mueller, one
of my constituents, who was brutally kidnapped and killed by the
Islamic State, or ISIS.

Kayla was a young woman who was still full of youthful exuberance,
optimism about peace and human relations, and who was willing to put
her life on the line to help others halfway around the world. She was a
beautiful soul, and I know she is with God now.

I am not youthful.

I see ISIS for what it is.

This is an Islamic terrorist group that is a scourge to humanity. Our
society cannot exist with barbaric and evil people who value death over
life, war over peace, and chaos over order. Their evil deeds are well
known--as they publicize them--genocide, mass murder, sadistic
killings.

I am done. I hope you are, too.

The elimination of ISIS is long overdue. In order to defeat these
terrorists, we need a strategic and comprehensive military strategy.
