I have another article that accentuates what my friend from Georgia was saying about our allies not being sure what we are going to do. Unfortunately, our enemies seem to know very well what we are going to do. It is an article published by Al Bawaba, published today. It says--we've identified Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. Well, the deputy leader of Hezbollah, Sheikh Naim Qassem, has said: ``The flurry of international activity, which is sponsored by the U.S., is not serious in ending the takfiri threat . . . He said Obama spoke of `containing' the threat and not `stopping' it.'' I am quoting from him. ``Comments made by Barack Obama are clear. The word `contain' means to identify risks and disable some of its objectives while maintaining this terrorist organization's role to frighten certain countries in this region and to keep this risk as a scarecrow in appropriate places to make political gains, particularly in Iraq and Syria.'' Our enemies know that this President's speech last night indicated he's not serious. We have got to get serious. With that, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Rothfus). Members are reminded not to engage in personalities toward the President. ____________________

I am very grateful for the message from my friend from Arkansas, words of wisdom that are greatly appreciated. One of the things we took up this afternoon on a vote here--and if I recall correctly, there were two of us voting no--but I…
