“Mr. Speaker, before I start into the text of my discussion tonight, I would like to commend the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson-Lee) for her comment that the U.N. Security Council must pass a resolution that has teeth. That was exactly the position many of the Members on this side of the aisle felt like 1441 should have been, a resolution that had teeth in it. But, actually, it turned out not to be, and that is unfortunate. But her point is well made that the Security Council lacks the ability to enforce things that should be enforced. Mr. Speaker, I am joined tonight by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Burgess), the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. McCotter), and the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Bishop). We want to talk about Iraq and al Qaeda. It is one thing when politicians flipflop, and we have an example now. One of the Presidential candidates, Senator Kerry, has shown a willingness to flipflop and play both sides of an issue. But it is especially reprehensible when our media begins to flipflop.”
