George Galloway - worth 20 minutes of your life

[Wellington Vaults]

Have a look at both Parts 1 and 2.

Love him or loath him, that's how to defend yourself.

His summing up is as good an indictment of the sorry state of affairs in Iraq as I have heard.

Gosh. I am almost incapable of comment. Thank you Welligog. I have not seen them before. They deserve a far, far wider audience than they will ever get.

The depths to which establishment figures will stoop to preserve power has always been a matter to gaze at in awe. There's plenty of examples down the centuries. This is one of the very finest. An honest and intelligent man, framed for his honesty and intelligence. Framed, and then cast out to the wolves.  I have no knowledge at all about this, but, just for the sake of argument, I wonder just who did inspire the Telegraph to print their allegations about George? Highly convenient for some don't you think....?

The world needs men, and women, like Goerge Galloway. We might not agree with them, but without them just who defines truth?

Cheers

I really dont like the way The US Senate think they can demand people like they have George and like they are currently re Lockerbie.

It was the Scottish governments decision to let the libyan free, they dont have to answer to the US.

Whatever you think of George good on him for how he acted during the senate interview

We don't like our politicians to be truthful like George Galloway, because it is sometimes complicated and implicates big business which we don't understand. People would rather believe the prejudice and tittle tattle dressed up as \"FACT\" that is pumped out by our ruling class and their populist \"newspapers\" to base a simplified and completely wrong view of the world. The internet is being manipulated the same way to even subvert pure facts in Science so that American right wing \"educators\" can subvert our next generation into following the same path, and this current regime is encouraging it because they only see the money.
All power to your elbow George, keep telling the truth!

Is it me or is Gorgeous George caked in fake tan in that clip?

I was a little disappointed he didn't finish with 'And another thing, it's not soccer it's called football and colour is spelt with a U.'

Well done to George Galloway!  I wonder what caused him to be named by the Iraqi newspaper as a benefactor of the kickback money? Was this a put up job to discredit him because he was telling the truth? I don't know too much about him, except that he was controversial in Parliament, but he comes across as honest with righteous indignation.  And who put the US in charge of looking into the UN Food for Oil scheme?  It sounds like the UN and US were blaming other countries for having a hand in it, when our 'contractors' were instrumental in it.  (Funny I always assumed that the UN was 'above' such corruption).  And to take it a step further to the war in Iraq as George did, I believe Saddam was put up as the scapegoat for 9/11 to justify an invasion of Iraq because he wouldn't do 'business' with some of the US 'contractors' sent to try to persuade him to take out massive loans from the US to build Iraq's infrastructure ( by Haliburton and others)-- knowing they could never repay the money, so they would have a debt to the US, which we could take out with oil and military installations. If you want to read, dare I say, a truthful account of this, read \"Confessions of an Economic Hit Man\" by John Perkins.  Such an eye opening book.  So wrong and so corrupt was this war and the reasons for it
