Speech #1060024841

Mr. Speaker. that just a few minutes ago we voted not to support those troops who have their lives on the line. who engage in the military air strikes. just as our Senate colleagues voted a couple of weeks ago to say we support their efforts in bringing about peace. in bringing about a resolution in fighting for the refuges. I am not sure what we thought we were doing. but the message that goes out to those who have to leave right now and engage in war and conflict on behalf of the freedom of those of us here in the United States and of those refugees being murdered and raped is that we are not in support of their efforts. I hope that we will not say to the POWs we do not want them home. I hope that we will correct this mistake that we have made. But most of all. I hope the clear message will be that we. as Americans. stand united behind freedom. behind justice. and behind the safe return of the refugees and the POWs.
