| quote: | Galloway has a long history with Saddam Hussein and his cronies, including Tariq Aziz. He visited Baghdad in 1994 and was filmed telling Saddam Hussein "Sir, I salute your courage, your strength and your indefatigability."
At any rate, Galloway has a long history with Iraq. His statements and positions got him expelled from Tony Blair's Labour Party in 2003. So he decided to create his own political party, which he called the "Respect Party." Given his pro-Saddam positions, he knew he would need to run for election in a largely Muslim district. That's exactly what he did, and he was elected to parliament earlier this month. So Galloway is quite the jihadist, as well as being a publicity whore.
Which is what led him to Washington yesterday. He may be an eloquent speaker, but the facts are the facts: documents show Galloway was paid off by Saddam Hussein to the tune of millions of dollars. Galloway's response? The war in Iraq was wrong and was fought based on lies. |
