Oh, you genius, you! Mr Speaker, they are so brainy! The second serious point I make is this: I have said at this dispatch box over the years that Saddam Hussein did provide financial support to Palestinian suicide bombers. But from March 2003 he has paid no money to Palestinian suicide bombers. He cannot, because we got rid of him. Whereas if the Labor Party and the Leader of the Opposition had maintained their policy he would still be financing Palestinian suicide bombers. Go and tell that to the Israelis!
