George Galloway blasts the Senate

Galloway gives US senators "a good hiding"
Well, if any visitors here to "A Logical Voice" watched that Galloway hearing, then you'll know that Galloway really made mincemeat out of those American senators. They really don't know how to handle opposition as they aren't used to it over there, and it showed, Galloway went straight for the throat on a number of occasions.

When asked by Norman Coleman about a colleagues business dealings, Galloway stated that he did not know about all of the dealings, and asked Coleman if Coleman knew about all the dealings of people who donate money to him, like the AIPAC. A very reasonable thing to point out. (a powerful Israeli lobby in the US)

When asked would it trouble Galloway if his colleague had been the person behind the sanctions busting, Galloway eventually stated, after stating that he had never been in favour of the sanctions which killed a million Iraqis including many thousands of children that it would trouble him if his colleague were prosecuted for any crimes.

When pressed on the illegality of sanctions busting, Galloway rightly brought up the legality of the American act of aggression against the Iraqi people, he also attacked the American senators who supported the criminal actions of the rogue regime in Washington when they claimed that former senior Hussein regime officials in US custody had said that Galloway was involved in oil trading by stating that the world knows how America treats its prisoners, and it was hardly surprising if they managed to extract information to their liking from them.

Additional to that, Galloway also stated that he'd never seen the documents which contained his name, and wanted to see the documents to assess whether or not they were forgeries.

All in all, Galloway will have stunned Americans with his performance, maybe they won't think the Brits will sell themselves quite as easily as Blair did now. Perhaps they will also seriously realise that their politicians are just as much a bunch of liars as everyone else around the world knows them to be.

There are millions of Brits, just like Galloway, who oppose America's acts of aggression, war mongering and human rights abuses, and we will not all prostitute ourselves for the whims and fantasies of a bunch of fanatical extremists from another country. America, you have had a taste of British public opinion, now you really know what we think of your rogue regime.

George Galloway Bitch-Slaps Norm Coleman



"On the very first page of your document about me, you assert that I have had many meetings with Saddam Hussein. This is false...I have had two meetings with Saddam Hussein, once in 1994 and once in August 2002. By no stretch of the English language can that be described as many meetings. In fact I've met him exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met him. The difference is that Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns and to give him maps the better to target those guns."
--British MP George Galloway, today

British Member of Parliament George Galloway came to Washington today and bitch-slapped GOP Senator Norm Coleman around in a manner that many Democrats should learn from. After Coleman has used the Homeland Security and Government Operations Committee and its investigators as his personal platform to bash the UN Oil for Food program and to make himself look good nationally, he anticipated he would get the chance to beat up Galloway face to face today for allegedly being in Saddam's back pocket and profiting from illicit oil sales within the Oil for Food program.

Instead, Galloway came and blasted both Republicans and Democrats alike for their support for the war, their "cavalier" treatment of facts, and the fact that it is the Bush Administration that allowed Saddam to circumvent the UN restrictions and profit from illicit oil sales in the days leading up to the war. It got so bad that Coleman called a recess and moved on to other witnesses after Galloway had trashed Coleman and gone toe-to-toe with a pathetic Carl Levin. Coleman, after probably changing his underwear in the nearest men's room, saved his tough comments until after Galloway had left, which is a typical GOP practice.

It was a tutorial in how to deal with today's GOP in an era when the American Taliban owns them lock, stock, and barrel.

Who?

Who?

I'm not going to be disrespectful to my own country.

But Mr Galloway Goes To Washington had never really been an exercise in clarifying the facts. It was an exercise in giving Norm Coleman, and, by extension, the Bush administration, a black eye - mere days after the bloody nose that the Respect MP took credit for having given Tony Blair. And it went as well as Mr Galloway could have wished.

ps. I would not trust him (galloway) as far as I could throw him but I think the Americans have jumped the gun in trying to traduce his name. On topof that the secret evidence they might have against him is just that, secret, Galloway knows this and made them look like children.
