Jack Kingston: “But we really appreciate what they are doing. I think it is so important for these wives and the families in my area…”

“But we really appreciate what they are doing. I think it is so important for these wives and the families in my area, and I know in California that the gentleman has lots who are deployed, same thing. Mr. Speaker, switching gears slightly, I always pick up the paper here, and one would think that it is the United States and Tony Blair, not the United States and Great Britain, but just Tony Blair, oh, and Jack Straw; but one would think it is just a couple of us out there fighting Saddam Hussein. Here is a list of countries: Albania, Angola, Australia, Bahrain, Britain, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Chile, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Guinea, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Lithuania, Macedonia, Oman, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, and Yemen who have all expressed support of the Bush policies towards Iraq. Why is that not in the paper? And in my colleague's opinion, is it important for us to wait out the U.N.? I think we are on number 17 in terms of resolutions now. Keep in mind, the very first resolution going back to April 1991 called for disarmament within 90 days; and it did not say, and we are having to come prove the case against you, it says you have got to show us that you have disarmed. What is the gentleman's view?”
