Speech #1060027523

I can say this. Mr. Speaker. in my opinion. with all due respect to our European colleagues. they are going to sit back and say. hey. let the United States do it: let the taxpayers of the United States pay for it. let the United States put its troops in harms way. let the United States supply the airplanes: let the United States supply the arsenals. let the United States go in and rebuild what the United States has bombed. let the United States put in what I think is going to be necessary. a miniature Marshall Plan to rebuild all of the destruction and try and create some kind of an economy over there if. in fact. we can get the refugees back in there. This partnership ratio. in my opinion. is not going to change as long as we sit on our hands and are content with carrying 18 other partners. with us carrying 90 percent of the load. It should not work that way.
