Galloway Update
You may recall the flurry of (Right)WingNut rhetoric that followed George Galloways’
“I have met Saddam Hussein 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.â€
– in front of a US Senate committee hearing… truly folks, the levels of outrage at these “horrible lies” spoken when Galloway not only refused to roll over but stood up to the Senate committee rose to near the levels usually only reserved for “Bush lied” statements.
A British Appeals court has backed a lower court ruling in a libel suit against the Daily Telegraph over allegations that Galloway illegally took money from Hussein, now if only he’d launch the same suit against the (Right)WingNuts who took such offense over his statements but completely ignored the fact that
US oil purchases accounted for 52% of the kickbacks paid to the regime in return for sales of cheap oil – more than the rest of the world put together.
Stageleft, how dare you side with the Anti-American, fact-recalling, truth-telling, British Liberal extremist, Galloway?
His testimony to the Senate Committee is a direct threat to the National Security of the United States, and by extension the Free World!
