Humanitarian Crisis in Iraq: Statements.
10:30 am
David Norris (Independent)
It may be, but I am going to finish this. I mean no disrespect, a Chathaoirligh, but I just want to finish two points. We have had Rumsfeld trying to involve Syria and Iran. Is there not enough blood for him? We have had Hosni Mubarak saying there will be 100 more Osamas, and there will. It is totally disproportionate.
I mentioned Macbeth. I hope that somebody around Bush has the intelligence to reflect on Macbeth's bitter musings: "It will have blood, they say; blood will have blood." So it will, and it will be on our heads if at the very least the Minister does not, as I have asked, call in the ambassadors of the United Kingdom and the United States to tell them plainly what we think of the use of cluster bombs on civilian targets, of the blowing up of maternity hospitals.
