Mr. Speaker. I strongly support the emergency aid to Iraqi refugees. I wish to strongly commend the gentleman from Florida . chairman of the full committee. the gentleman from California . and the gentlewoman from New Jersey on the minority side for their splendid and enthusiastic support. Mr. Speaker. words and deeds have consequences. When our President exhorts the Iraqis to rise up and throw out their depraved leader and when our country. in a correct decision. unleashes a hail of bombs on that beleaguered country. those words and deeds have consequences. They are reasonably predictable consequences. For us at the end of the 100hour war to want to turn our backs and walk away from the scene and get the troops home before we have adequately evaluated the postwar challenge in that area does not show America in its best light.
