On the recordNovember 30, 2023
If I were to describe to you a group that has just seized a cargo ship and what Israel has since referred to as an Iranian act of terrorism, you might come to the conclusion that perpetrators can't distinguish between civilians and military targets. If I were to also tell you that the same group just earlier this week shot two ballistic missiles at a U.S. warship, you might come to the conclusion that these perpetrators are the enemies of the United States. Finally, if I told you that this group is guilty of kidnapping and torturing U.S. citizens, you might come to the conclusion that we need to wipe these people off the face of the Earth. You might think that the Biden administration would agree, but apparently it does not, and that is to the detriment of our national security. This is a sense of Congress that the Houthis continue to benefit from the Biden administration's unwillingness to unequivocally condemn. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
