Nathan Deal: “today is a day of words, words of outrage at the unspeakable horrors of yesterday; but we know that words cannot provide…”

“today is a day of words, words of outrage at the unspeakable horrors of yesterday; but we know that words cannot provide the bond to heal those wounds; but by our words we extend our arms and embrace the injured and the families of the dead. Yes, today is a day of words; but tomorrow is a day of action. Mr. Speaker, for those who committed these crimes, they do not even begin to know what they have unleashed. Perhaps they look at the United States and see us argue with each other along political, regional or racial lines, and believe that we are weak and divided; but they are wrong. We are a large family that can fuss and fight, but we are still family. Yesterday, terrorists came into our front yard and murdered innocent members of our family. By that action, the terrorists shocked our conscience. But that shock is certainly turning into a growing rage. Terrorists and those who aid and abet them around the world, they are about to learn that hell hath no fury like American anger. Mr. Speaker, I propose that this Congress add a provision to every foreign operations appropriations bill that requires that any Nation or organization before they receive any penny of American money must be certified by the President that they have fully cooperated in apprehending these murderers, and that they have further cooperated in fighting terrorism around the world.”
