    by James Glaser May 18, 2005

    Senator Norm Coleman, Republican Chairman of the committee had accused Galloway of making money off the Iraqi oil-for-food program and Galloway was more than Coleman ever expected.

    George Galloway had vowed to give US senators "both barrels" and after sitting - coiled - through an hour-and-half of testimony against him, he unloaded all his ammunition.
    Far from displaying the forelock-tugging deference to which senators are accustomed, Mr Galloway went on the attack.
    He rubbished committee chairman Norm Coleman’s dossier of evidence and stared him in the eye.
    "Now I know that standards have slipped over the last few years in Washington, but for a lawyer, you are (…)

    WASHINGTON (CNN) — Claims in a recently uncovered British memo that intelligence was "being fixed" to support the Iraq war as early as mid-2002 are "flat out wrong," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Monday.
    McClellan insisted the process leading up to the decision to go to war was "very public" — and that the decision to invade in March 2003 was taken only after Iraq refused to comply with its "international obligations."
    "The president of the United States, in a very (…)

    Rebel MP George Galloway’s Respect Party claimed today that evidence that he profited from Saddam Hussein’s regime was forged.
    Ahead of Mr Galloway’s appearance in front of a committee of US senators in Washington, his party said the committee was relying on a counterfeit document created in Baghdad.
    It said Mr Galloway’s name had been pasted on to a list of people and companies alleged to have made money out of the Oil For Food programme.
    His name appeared in a different typeface to (…)

    The memo was made public earlier this month by the Times of London newspaper. British officials did (…)

    ​ ​​​​ Just like the $9 billion ’lost’ and the 52 warnings prior to 9/11, the Democratic ’Leadership’ is silent on the most important news of the day. The current earth-shattering news is The Memo revealing that Bush and Blair agreed to go to war in April 2002, that they ’fixed the facts’ to scare us into war.
    This news should turn American politics upside down. It should cause all Americans, even Republicans, to be outraged, really F#@%ing pissed off that WE’VE BEEN LIED TO !!!
