The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman’s
time has expired.
2001 Ron Paul 109:2
Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1
minute to the gentleman from California
(Mr. Rohrabacher).
Mr. ROHRABACHER. Mr. Speaker, I
yield to the gentleman from Texas.
2001 Ron Paul 109:3
Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman
was to find out that China was
much more involved in the Taliban and
the terrorist attacks on 9–11 than anything
Saddam Hussein has done, would
the gentleman be willing to do to
China what the gentleman is willing to
do to Iraq?
Mr. ROHRABACHER. Mr. Speaker,
reclaiming my time, let me put it this
way. The answer is yes, but I would not
right away. Like the President says,
we must do things sequentially, and we
must be absolutely committed to the
job. If we do things sequentially, the
next order of business is taking care of
the threat in Iraq. And if China is, yes,
helping terrorists murder thousands of
Americans, yes, we should help the
Chinese people overthrow their dictatorship
as well.
2001 Ron Paul 109:4
Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman
will continue to yield, would
the gentleman do the same thing to
Pakistan and Syria and Saudi Arabia
and Egypt?
