“I rise to urge support for this amendment. Mr. Chairman, today we are going to vote to provide $87 billion to Iraq to fight terrorism and protect against weapons of mass destruction; but if we ask the Government of Saudi Arabia, Mr. Chairman, what weapons of mass destruction are, they will tell us that this is a weapon of mass destruction, that this breeds terrorism, a Barbie doll. The Saudi Government recently said that the Barbie doll is a Jewish-influenced toy. Mr. Chairman, dolls do not kill innocent civilians. Plastic toys are not terrorists. We should pass this amendment and stop subsidizing terror and violence, intolerance and anti-Semitism.”
