A SENATE
RESOLUTION
TO COMMEND PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH, HIS MILITARY
ADVISORS, AND THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE UNITED
STATES ARMED FORCES ON THEIR WELL PLANNED AND
SUCCESSFUL FIRST-STRIKE ON IRAQ, TO CONVEY THE FULL
SUPPORT OF SOUTH CAROLINA TO THE ALLIED FORCES, AND
TO EXPRESS THE HOPE THAT A SWIFT CONCLUSION WILL
RESULT.
Whereas, President George Bush ordered decisive and overwhelming
military action on Wednesday, January 16, 1991 to be taken against
Saddam Hussein, his Iraqi forces, military installations, and military
industrial sites by directing the men and women of the United States
Armed Forces to attack; and
Whereas, it appears that in the short time that has passed since the
liberation attack known as `Operation Desert Storm' began, the Allied
Forces have attained a great degree of surprise, air superiority and
success; and
Whereas, it is with great concern and pride that the people of South
Carolina follow the historic events in the Middle East as they unfold
before our eyes and ears; and
Whereas, the American soldiers have made and continue to make a great
sacrifice to ensure the freedom of the world from the maniacal
oppression of one man who desires to hold the whole world hostage; and
Whereas, we must never forget the men and women who are in the front
lines actively engaging the enemy, the crews that load the airplanes
armament, the crews that keep the planes flying and the armed forces
rolling, the pilots who venture into enemy territory, the ground forces,
and all others in Saudi Arabia and the waters surrounding the Middle
East; and
Whereas, the State of South Carolina, the United States, and the rest of
the world will forever be indebted to the brave soldiers of the Allied
Forces; and
Whereas, it is time to stand solidly behind the troops representing South
Carolina and support the parents and relatives with loved ones in the
Middle East; and
Whereas, never before has there been such great international solidarity
in condemning and moving against an aggressor nation. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the Senate and the people of South Carolina do hereby commend
President Bush, his advisors, and the men and women of the United
States Armed Forces for their successful and overwhelming attack on
Iraq to free Kuwait from Iraq's unjust grip.
Be it further resolved to convey the full support of the State of South
Carolina to the Allied Forces for their initial efforts and the efforts that
continue.
Be it further resolved that the Senate and the people of South Carolina
desire and pray for a swift conclusion to the conflict in the Middle East
so that a minimum of personal tragedies may occur and our uniformed
heroes may come home soon.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be sent to President
George Bush, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Colin Powell, the President
of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of
Representatives, the members of the South Carolina Congressional
Delegation, and Eston Marchant, Adjutant General of South Carolina.
