Commending President Bush’s Leadership

January 28, 2003
Today, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) made the following remarks on the House Floor:"Mr. Speaker, President Bush has shown courageous leadership on many fronts since his last State of the Union address a year ago," said Rep. Wilson."In November, the President moved forward in the War on Terrorism by securing a unanimous vote by the United Nations Security Council to force Saddam Hussein to disarm. Day by day, these inspectors uncover more evidence of Iraq's noncompliance and continued threat to Americans and our allies. As a result, President Bush is building a coalition to secure a regime change in Iraq. On this issue, the President is not just leading America, he is leading the freedom-loving world."The President continues to work with our allies to capture al Qaeda terrorists wherever they may be hiding, and has pushed for the creation of the new Department of Homeland Security."I applaud the President for his leadership and inspiration to the American people, and I know tonight's State of the Union Address will send a message to the world, that America is strong, united, and prepared to take on any challenges in 2003," said Rep. Wilson.###
