On the recordFebruary 13, 2020
and fellow Senators, I rise in support of Senator Cruz's amendment. This is just a continuation of this animosity toward this President. This President did a great service to the United States of America, to the people of America, and to the world by dispatching General Soleimani as he did. All of us listened to the intelligence. We had the secret and top- secret briefings on this. In addition to that, those of us on the Intelligence Committee actually got information that was compartmented. They had very clear information, proof to a very high degree that he was imminently attacking--he was imminently planning to attack Americans and American forces. This was the right thing to do. It rid the world of a person who really rose to the same level as Osama bin Laden and some of the other people who have done these awful things to Americans. We should congratulate this President---- The PRESIDING OFFICER. All time has expired.
