George Galloway vs. U.S Senate (5/17/05)

British MP Galloway, falsely accused of taking bribes from Saddam Hussein, tears the US Senate a new one in this exhilarating MSNBC clip that grows more apropos every day.

- Galloway’s final claim, that $800 million disappeared while in the care of US military commanders was barely the tip of the $9 billion iceberg in US funds unaccounted for as of January 2012, according the Brookings Institution’s Iraq Index.

Given the aforementioned, I’m still curious as to what challenges you have to Galloway’s claims. Apologies again for the tardy response!

[Chris Rasmussen]

- The US sold and shipped an untold sum of oil without metering it: We know that this was true from 2003 at least through 2006, when, by our own accounts, $4 billion in Iraq oil was sold to our “interests” – this is the money we received, but the quantity is unknown. The Iraq Oil Ministry records show $8 billion a year in profits the US usurped during our occupation, all while US taxpayers pitched in what Nobel Economics Laureate Joseph Stiglitz estimated to be $1.3 trillion.

[Chris Rasmussen]

- Halliburton stole US and Iraqi money: Government accounts and Halliburton’s admissions confirm this: the Pentagon discovered Halliburton overcharged the US $1.09 a gallon for nearly 57 million gallons of gas, evaded US sanctions to do business with Iran, charged for the feeding of 20,000 meals-a-day when supplying only 10,000; this while President Bush was seeking to justify awarding $18.6 billion in Iraq reconstruction contracts to Halliburton and mostly US companies.

[Chris Rasmussen]

- During the first 14 months of our occupation, Galloway claims $8.8 billion went missing. You’d be correct in challenging this! By our accounting, only $6.6 billion was actually unaccounted for in 2008. While the Pentagon claimed to have “found” it in 2011, Galloway’s assessment was relatively accurate based on our admission at the time.

[Chris Rasmussen]

- The US government portrayed French president Sirac as a corrupt traitor: also a matter of public record. France, having provided the information on which we based our claim of Iraq’s weapons, found no such evidence present, as had Germany and initially Britain.

[Chris Rasmussen]

- The Bush administration demanded Kofi Annan’s dismissal: this is matter of public record after Annan called on the US and Britain to get US consensus before invading Iraq. For joining the US in what Parliament established as “completely unverifiable” information (lies,) Britain ousted its Prime Minister. For seeking consensus and reason before committing a unilateral act of war, Annan was awarded the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize.

An amazing speech that only George Galloway could deliver.

The Iraq war was Packed with Lies, So true but Some stupid Americans with their Fucked up patriotism still supported the war.

In closing I feel the US is right in protecting our allies.I do feel galloway is anti semitic and manipulates the truth to promote his own agenda.Does anyone really support his stand on Korea.And I said it before the US and company will do what ever it takes to protect their interests.That may include cover-ups.Corruption on wall street is also a huge problem in the US that has lead to trllions in debt.By the way I like the new towers in New York.Always be vigilant but always be a realist.

Briefly about conspiracy theories and haliburtan.One glaring question I have about 9-11.How come so many saudis were involved? Simple answer the fix was in.Access to US flight schools for many of the highjackers is enough to answer that.It's almost like they had help from the inside.There have been many allegations of haliburtan and inaccurate accounting for oil, food during the gulf war.But yet no convictions of any wrong doing.Haliburtan backed out of a Nigerian deal and had to pay 200 million

I would be worried if I was left wing academia like at USC Irvine or on you tube.For you have all been identified.You are all collaborators that complain to much, argue to much on the enemies side.Always telling lies when it's suits you.Never accepting the truths or the realities.Example Carnita Matthews of Australia lying and all who followed her for embarrassing Islam.Now you follow the same lying fraud galloway.It's your bed lefty and your sleeping in it.

[mcstar721]

The S Korean GDP in 2010 it ranked 38,N Korean ranked 200.The South Koreans acheived so much through hard work and good deeds.The N Korean midget lives high off the hog while his people starve.N Korea would take by force what S Korea has earned 100%

N Korea really makes a good neighbour just like Iran does toward it's neighbours.As do hezzbollah and hamas to Israel.Why any of you pseudo intellectuals would follow galloway shows your lack of knowledge towards many issues.God praise House of Saud

[mcstar721]

While S Korean purged enemies of the state usually communist left wing sympathizers, the N Koreans purged by all accounts 1 millon intellectuals (doctors,teachers,civil,servan­ts,religious figures), and so much more.The N Koreans are the same murderous thugs that the extreme left wing hypocrite galloway supports with all his heart.I doubt he has a heart,just look at the legacy of the S Korean compared fairly and objectively to the N Korean.

[mcstar721]

This left wing hypocrite galloway will lie every opportunity he gets to open that big trap of his.Galloway says the US refused to sign a peace treaty with the N Korea.An armistace was signed by the US to partition Korean peninsula.The legacy of the murderous communist north is undeniable.There is so much irrefutable evidence of the N Korean atrocities against the S Koreans during the war.Although atrocities were committed on both sides the vast majority were committed by NKorea and their allies

[mcstar721]

What a moron galloway is as well as a disingenuous manipulating lier.He would try to argue that N Korean has legitimacy while the S Korean is an illegitimate country.If any of you people believe this left wing hypocrisy than you are all naive brain dead idiots.He would try to make the same arguement against our allies in the middle east.What a fraud a fake a charlatan.It's his bed and he's sleeping in it.Until we drag him out of bed, slap the chains on him and send him to Iran as canon fodder.

[mcstar721]

Galloway was thrown out of the labor party in Britain he was exposed for left wing extremist views.Galloway feels S Korea is a puppet country for the US.This is the truth that S Korea is our allies and so is Japan, Taiwan.Same as our many allies in the middle east.Galloway and his left wing hord of stupid idiots feel none of our allies have a right to exist.As if N Korea has more right than S Korea or Iran has more right to exist than the Saudis or Israel.All lefties are jealous of our allies.

[mcstar721]

So the House of Saud must go because we are allied with them.Typical left wing crap.Well then S Korea must have a revolution as well.For the midget in the north really respects human rights and has such a strong economy.We'll we take care of shite expansion in the middle east, your right wing taskmasters will take care of you lefties. Two birds with one war.You lefties in the west are so screwed.God praise the House of Saud.Pakistan true Vanguard of Islam.Not a shite minority.

[mcstar721]

You want to see disgraceful.Well we can't afford to keep Pows alive with 3 squares a day and warm blankets so we execute all we catch.So when we get our hands on assad we have something special for him.You lefties like watching that shit on you tube.Lookings better than fighting in a war for all left wingers are cowards and full of shit anyways.
