Sounds like you took my advice from an earlier post to heart, in regard to hedging one’s bet. That’s an equivocating stance if I ever saw one.

Galloway is a thug and an extremist. I don’t know if he is guilty of the allegations, but there’s plenty of smoke, if not yet any fire. Let’s just say his denial is completely expected and far from convincing.

The hypocrisy of the U.S. over Oil For Food is no excuse to let people like Galloway or Benon Sevan or Vladimir Zhirinovsky walk, if they did in fact receive bribes from Saddam.

And by the way, Rumsfeld didn’t sell Saddam any ” guns.” That was the Russians and the French, not that Galloway gives a rat’s arse about being truthful.

What made me chuckle was the way he put exactly what he thought of the whole proceeding on the table and, rightly or wrongly, my impression is that those folks are just not used to being talked to like that.

What strikes me as being so completely daft about the whole thing is that here they are doing this big ‘ole investigation when the president and administration knew the sanctions were being gamed all along and basically let it go.

What’s the point of it?

“Senator, in everything I said about Iraq, I turned out to be right and you turned out to be wrong.”

With this story and the whole circus surrounding the Stronach jump it’s been a pretty entertaining news week all around I’d say.
