mr. sherman: in light of brussels, it's appropriate to re-evaluate our anti-isis policy. the obama administration's basic policy is sound in three parts. don't be suckered into declaring war against 1.4 billion muslims around the world. don't be suckered by a small group of misguided psychopaths. second, bomb isis appropriately. third, arm the right rebels in syria. but in the details, the policy needs to be strengthened. we have armed dozens rather than thousands in syria because we insist that those that we arm swear that they will not attack assad. assad has killed 200,000 civilians, patriotic syrians will wage war against that regime. second, in our bombing, we have kill policy in our bombing, which means we won't bomb a truck carrying oil if it's moving because there's a driver in it. we provide free electricity to isis. it's time to get serious in our policies. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman rise? without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for ne minute. mrs. maloney: the affordable care act is one of the most important pieces o
