If you haven't already heard about former British MP George Galloway's anti-war, anti-Bush rant before the Senate sub-committee hearing today yet, you WILL. It might well have been Michael Moore speaking. I am sure the MSM will replay his rant over and over and over. Although his stance on the war has NOTHING to do with the allegations against him, he calls the Food For Oil program "the mother of all smokescreens," yet it seems he himself is using his anti-war stance to smokescreen his involvement in the Food for Oil scandal. Let's see what the MSM focuses on this evening, shall we? The actual content of his involement or the anti-war screed? I'm guessing the latter.
Galloway is denying charges he profited from the Iraq oil-for-food program. But to get an idea of where he is coming from this is what he had to say as he stepped off the plane:
"I have no expectation of justice from a group of Christian fundamentalist and Zionist activists under the chairmanship of a neocon (President) George Bush who is pro-war."
Gee, I wonder why he was kicked out of the Labour Party.
UPDATE: Protein Wisdom has added his bit of humour/truth regarding Galloway:
"Reached for comment, the newly democratic government of Iraq was quick to dismiss Galloway’s characterization of the war as a “disaster,” noting that “the freedom of 25 million Iraqis—and the new coalition government, which will put to lie the assertion that rival ethnic factions in the Arab world cannot work together—is hardly disastrous, and is in fact the most important advance in this region since baba ganoush and cotton weaves. So, y’know. Perhaps Mr. Galloway would like to kiss our free Arab asses...?”
Heh.
