On the recordApril 10, 2003
I am here to congratulate General Tommy Franks, Chief of Military Operations, and our brave military forces. Of course, I also congratulate Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, General Myers, and of course, President Bush and the administration. I think everyone will remember where he or she was when the statue of Saddam Hussein came tumbling down. His atrocious regime is over, done. And Mr. Speaker, there are many others I wish to congratulate today, but I want to remind everyone in the House that we should also congratulate everyone in this House of Representatives who voted for the Iraq resolution. It was the right thing to do.
