With all due respect to my friend from California, special operations troops are inside of Pakistan right now. Three troops have died. Maybe they didn't intend to be hostile, but somebody intended hostilities towards them. There is no…

The Times quotes General Petraeus as acknowledging ``longstanding ties between Pakistan's Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence'' and what he calls the ``bad guys.'' And the Times goes on to say in this editorial, ``The Times's…

I appreciate that. So we have special forces now at least 20 miles inside the border of Pakistan by news accounts, and they want us to help them there, while Pakistan at the same time is helping those who are shooting at our troops in…

I thank the gentleman, my friend. I want to quote from The New York Times. You can understand how serious this debate is. The Times said, ``But the most alarming of the reports'' relating to WikiLeaks ``were the ones that described the…

If I could get an extra minute. Mr. McGOVERN. I yield the gentleman 1 additional minute.

I thank Mr. McGovern and Mr. Dreier for enabling me to participate in this debate. A little bit later we're going to get into the substance of the War Powers Resolution. But I think it's very important for the record to state, as the Wall…

I thank the gentlelady, for whom I have the greatest respect, for her concerns about the resolution. But I would like to respectfully suggest to her that the danger that's presented here is that this Congress ignores the WikiLeaks…

Wikileaks released 92,000 previously secret documents, totaling 200,000 pages, any one of which could conceivably be a case for a congressional hearing, which demonstrate that Congress has not been given a true account of the war by either…

Wake up, America. WikiLeaks' release of secret war documents gave us 92,000 reasons to end the wars. Pick one. Wake up, America. Main Street is falling apart, businesses have closed, bankruptcies abound, people are losing their jobs, their…

I yield myself another half minute. Reclaiming my time, if the gentleman supports the idea of the U.S. presence in Afghanistan on the ground, then your logic would follow perfectly. However, what I am saying is that following the language…

I would inquire how much time the respective debaters have here. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Ohio has 8\1/2\ minutes, the gentleman from New York has 2\1/2\ minutes, and the gentlewoman from Florida has 1 minute.

I would like to inquire as to how much time each side has remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Yarmuth). The gentleman from Ohio has 17 minutes remaining. The gentleman from California has 7 minutes remaining. The gentlewoman from…

We're going to continue to go down the road. We're not going to turn back. We've had too much success. We've got a long way to go. ____________________

I'm just standing here, listening to you both. When you piece this all together, their philosophy, which obviously didn't work because we saw how it ended, is to cut taxes for primarily the top 1 percent of the people--millionaires and…

I think it's important for us to say we have tried the old way, and this is what we have been trying and attempting to fix. Here you will see, again--or even a rise in manufacturing. What the Democrats are saying here, and you see 2, 4, 6…

Yes, they have said it. And they want to be able to say, see, we had nothing to do with any of that. So being so ideological that they vote against getting rid of tax cuts that incentivize off-shoring business. I mean, that says it all…

Could I make a point real quickly. That vote is such an example that the other side seems to just be playing politics. They want Obama to fail, and they want to be able to say----

I yield myself 5 minutes. In response to the gentlelady's comments about training troops, the U.S. has been training troops in Iraq and Afghanistan for over 7 years now with arguably little or no sign of success; yet we are applying the…
