Here is some more from the Reuters article

The Bethnal Green and Bow MP said his intention was to "beard them in the lion’s den". He added: "If there was a person who gave me millions of dollars, you’d know about it by now. I don’t look like a millionaire, I don’t act like a millionaire, I am not a millionaire."

Mr Galloway refused to answer questions about whether he had brought evidence of his attempts to contact the committee with him. He described the senators as "the most intense collection of pro-Israel, pro-war, neo-cons you could possibly gather in one room".

He's talking about the forged documents? Are those the yellowcake forged documents or other forged documents on the oil for food program?

Because it makes GOOD TV. And as soon as a few Dems learn that, we can begin to take back the media.

31. "on a pack of lies" -------------he is awesome

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-1616104,00.html

Respect MP George Galloway said today he intended to use a US Senate hearing as a platform to put those responsible for the Iraq war on trial.

In Washington to address the senators who have accused him of receiving vouchers for millions of barrels of oil from Saddam Hussein’s regime, Mr Galloway vowed to show the world who was the real guilty party.

"I am determined, now that I am here, to be not the accused but the accuser," he said. "The people who have been guilty of massive profiteering in Iraq is the US themselves and I intend to put them on trial. I don’t have to answer to them, they don’t rule the world."

The former Labour MP reiterated that he had never bought a barrel of oil in his life, and accused the US Government of using the issue to divert attention from the consequences of the Iraq war. They will have to show me the money," he said. "Anyone can put anyone’s name on documents."

[FreedomAngel82]

151. Oh good!!

Is he going to be the one to take them to court? I hope so. I'm glad he's turning this to them since it's all their fault. Put them on trial! I hope this is the beginning!

[donkeyotay]

178. ACK!! Truth leaking out on TV. Diversion plane! Divert!

from same (great) link:

"...you assert that I have had many meetings with Saddam Hussein. This is false," Mr Galloway said.

"I have had two meetings with Saddam Hussein, once in 1994 and once in August 2002. By no stretch of the English language can that be described as many meetings. In fact I've met him 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."

[Ilsa]

35. He's not holding back! Calling them Neocons and war criminals!

Calling them out on their lies! Telling them they have been wrong about everything!

[in_cog_ni_to]

37. Senator..."EVERYTHING I SAID ABOUT IRAQ

TURNED OUT TO BE TRUE AND YOU WERE WRONG." This war was based on a pack of lies. Had the world listened to me, we wouln't be in this situation. He is giving "the Senator" HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe CNN is still covering this! What happened? Didn't they get KKKRove's memo today?

181. Coleman Was Sweating So Hard

His hair fell down

[dflprincess]

183. Coleman is such a weasel

In the Mpls Star Tribune last week there was an article about Galloway comparing Coleman's committee to Joe McCarthy.

It said Galloway called Coleman's pane a "lickspittle Republican committee, acting on the wishes of George Bush."

In the print edition there was a sidebar that defined "lickspittle" this way: Webster's Internation Dictionary, Second Edition, Unabridged defines lickspittle as a verb meaning "to flatter or toady to serviley". The noun licksplit means "an abject parasite or toady".

Galloway pretty much nailed the weasel with that one.

130. You realize that once he answers their scripted questions

they will dismiss him?
If this is the only venue he has to get the truth out there--I'm fine with him expounding with a little lattitude.
We deserve the truth that our spineless representatives don't want us to have.

161. Nah I know what it is

They need to get their talking point memo's from Karl Rove. They weren't expecting this from Mr. Galloway probably so they're shitting their pants.

[po8crg2]

174. Serves them right for not preparing

Galloway is a very good debater in the bear-pit that is the House of Commons. Unsurprisingly, he ate a Senate Committee for breakfast.

I don't much like the guy - he's the classic hard-lefty, who thinks the fall of the Soviet Union is "the greatest tragedy of our times", who opposes any kind of activist US or UK foreign policy as "imperialist" and who will support any foreign dictator if the US opposes him, and vice versa - but he's a damn good debater and they decided to attack him on his ground. Mistake.

[countryjake]

182. Just goes to show you how "right" even the hard-leftys can be...

when it comes to discussing the neo-con agenda! He spoke for millions of Americans and everyone else of the world who absolutely detest the foreign policy in Iraq!

was brilliant! I sat up and clapped at so many of his points -- especially when he nailed Norm on whether he asks his AIPAC donors where they get their money from!

[countryjake]

155. Now I understand these odd plane diversions!

They keep cutting away from the hearing to talk about Bangor, Maine! Flylists - bullshits! Last week, it was done during reports of the protests in Afghanistan!

Imagine, giving this guy air time, with the truth he is declaring before our country...they must be adjusting their pacemakers all over Washington, scrambling to minimize that sort of damage. My god, now they've broken to footage of a massive Cuban demonstration; have we EVER seen that sort of "news" before?

This is delicious and very telling; Galloway condemning those sanctions is the best thing I've heard on tv in ten years!

[Roxy66]

163. WOW....it sure makes sense doesnt it......

[po8crg2]

159. Galloway Evidence forged

alleges Socialist Worker (his party newspaper, so the bias is obvious) see for yourself

Just to explain:

Socialist Worker is the newspaper of the Socialist Workers' Party, which is a member of the RESPECT coalition. Galloway is a member of RESPECT, but not of the SWP.

[goodhue]

162. more forged documents

another rovian ploy?

[understandinglife]

164. Interesting.....

"Look closely at the entry, which is reproduced above.

The typeface (font) used for “Mr George Galloway” is different to the rest of the line. Indeed the only time this font is used in the entire document is where George Galloway’s name appears.

“Mr George Galloway” does not line up with the rest of the words in the entry. It is at an angle to the other words.

The spacings between “Mr George Galloway” and the rest of the words are inconsistent.

The dash after the words “Mr George Galloway” touches the following word.

The words “Mr George Galloway” are at a different type density (lighter) than the rest of the line.

The most likely explanation is that the words “Mr George Galloway” have been added after the list was prepared, perhaps stuck on and then photocopied to produce the list in the Duelfer Report."

167. Galloway has just commanded respect, all over the USA!

Every single person who hates these Wars; every single person who has a conscience and detested those sanctions leveled against the Iraqi people, for all those years; every single person who cringes whenever horrific reports come in about soldiers and innocent civilians being blasted to kingdom come...these people hear what he's saying and know he's speaking the truth and respect him for it!

173. Other sources have also said it was a forgery

177. Not an independent second source

That's RESPECT, my source is Socialist Worker. They are the same organisation.

166. OMG - They came back on with some lame excuse and adjourned!

No more today. Coleman adjourned.

169. time to get their wind back? te he

187. They had to get Galloway out of there and away from the cameras.

I LOVE IT!

[CantGetFooledAgain]

168. Question - when and where will I be able to download this?

[woodsprite]

172. I wouldn't be surprised

if we hear of something happening to Mr. Galloway in the near future. I sure hope he's well protected and has spread the wealth of his information around. The "pressing" business was probably the repugs trying to contact that * brother who handles airline security.

[po8crg2]

175. I would be surprised

He's an elected Member of Parliament. If he was disappeared, then, apart from his party winning the by-election (special election) by a landslide, the US makes a martyr to the cause.

Also, it would annoy Blair - it makes RESPECT more important, and brings attention to the Iraq war, instead of sweeping it under the carpet. If they place a call to Downing Street, then he would say no.

British MP: Charges 'a pack of lies'
Galloway denies profiting from oil-for-food program




Tuesday, May 17, 2005 Posted: 12:41 PM EDT (1641 GMT)



British Parliament member George Galloway appears Tuesday before a Senate panel.


(CNN) -- British Parliament member George Galloway on Tuesday angrily denied profiting from Saddam Hussein's regime and criticized the Senate panel probing alleged corruption the U.N. oil-for-food program in Iraq.

Galloway appeared before the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which stated in a report last week that deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein granted him vouchers for 20 million barrels of oil between 2000 and 2003.

He called the accusations against him "a pack of lies" and told the panel that he never took "one thin dime" from Iraq.

"If you had any evidence of that I had ever engaged in any actual oil transaction, if you had any evidence that anybody ever gave me any money, it would be before the public and before this" committee today, Galloway said.

191. He was fantastic!

That was the best 2 minute rant I've heard in the last 5 years. I'm surprised they didn't just cut his mike Bill O"Reilly style. "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

194. "It's a proven fact, it's a proven fact...

that these forged documents existed and were being circulated amongst right-wing newspapers in Baghdad and around the world, in the immediate aftermath of the fall of the Iraqi regime!" - Galloway

Both barrels directed at the true criminals! Keeping those forgers busy, creating "new evidence", I'd imagine.

He never took his eyes off of them...best speech I've ever heard, during an official government proceeding!

[countryjake]

197. "Now Senator, I gave my heart & soul....

to oppose the policy that you promoted! I gave my political life's blood to try to stop the mass-killing of Iraqis by the sanctions on Iraq, which killed a million Iraqis, most of them children. Most of them died before they even knew that they were Iraqis, but they died for no other reason other than that they were Iraqis, with the misfortune to be born at that time!" - George Galloway

195. British Lawmaker Denies Oil-For-Food Claim

British Lawmaker Denies Oil-For-Food Claim
By KEN GUGGENHEIM, Associated Press Writer


WASHINGTON -- British lawmaker George Galloway vehemently rejected a Senate subcommittee's claim that Saddam Hussein awarded him lucrative allocations under the U.N. oil-for-food program and accused its chairman of maligning his good name.

The subcommittee, chaired by Minnesota Republican Norm Coleman, claimed that Galloway allegedly funneled allocations through a fund he established in 1998 to help a 4-year-old Iraqi girl suffering from leukemia and received allocations worth 20 million barrels from 2000 to 2003.

"I am not now nor have I ever been an oil trader and neither has anyone on my behalf," Galloway testified Tuesday. "I was an opponent of Saddam Hussein when British and American governments and businessmen were selling him guns and gas."

Coleman later questioned Galloway's testimony. "If in fact he lied to this committee, there will have to be consequences," Coleman said at a news conference after the hearing.
