And I could not agree better with the gentleman's suggestion that we should take this matter directly to the Security Council of the United Nations with such evidence to show--not to embarrass anybody, but to bear the facts out that, I think, this is an act--it's an act of war, Madam Speaker.

There should be full deliberations, and let the nations of the world see and witness for themselves what this conduct has become. The killing of 46 sailors, just unbelievable.
