Perhaps his visit and support for Saddam, together with support for other factions in the middle east

That's a short comedic vid, since the death of Hussain and the destabilisation that ensued how can this be seen as the only faux pas?

Short comedic video? Seriously? I remember that event clearly, there was no comedy about it. It was a meeting held at a time when it was known that Saddam had slaughtered his own people with chemical weapons. It was done at a time when Saddam had surrounded himself with British people that he was using as human shields. Comedy? I think not.

1) January 1994, Galloway met Saddam Hussein and told him: "I can honestly tell you that there was not a single person to whom I told I was coming to Iraq and hoping to meet with yourself who did not wish me to convey their heartfelt, fraternal greetings and support." and "Sir, I salute your courage, your strength, your indefatigability."
2) December 1999, Galloway spent Christmas in Iraq with his 'friend', Iraqui Deputy PM Tariq Aziz. 3) Galloway admitted to more than 10 meetings with Aziz. 4) In 1999 Galloway met Saddam's oldest son, Uday, at Uday's palace, continually addressed him as "Excellency", and tells him that he will be "with him until the end". 5) In his own words, Galloway has admitted advising Saddam 's Hussein's government about the 'best ways to to deal with a potential American invasion.': "The only war that can be fought against a superpower is a war of movement. I brought Tariq Aziz all the writings of Che Guevara and Mao Tse Tung on the arts of revolutionary war and he had them translated into Arabic. Fight a war of movement, take the uniforms off, swim among the Iraqi people and whatever their views on the regime, they will undoubtedly provide deep aquifers of support for a patriotic resistance." 6) In a March 2003 interview with Abu Dhabi TV, Galloway said, that; "the best thing British troops can do is to refuse to obey" what HE Galloway, deemed to be "illegal orders." 7) August 2005, during numerous appearances on Midle Eastern TV, Galloway defended Iraqi insurgents targeting western forces as "martyrs" and said: "These poor Iraqis – ragged people, with their sandals, with their Kalashnikovs, with the lightest and most basic of weapons – are writing the names of their cities and towns in the stars, with 145 military operations every day, which has made the country ungovernable. We don't know who they are, we don't know their names, we never saw their faces, they don't put up photographs of their martyrs, we don't know the names of their leaders." 8) During the same period, Galloway continually praised Tariq Aziz. In April 2005, during that year's general election campaign on Al-Jazeera, he described Aziz as "an eminent diplomatic and intellectual person", who he said: was "a political prisoner" and Galloway advocated his release. 9) In May 2006, Galloway was asked by Piers Morgan for GQ magazine, whether a suicide bomb attack on Tony Blair with "no other casualties" would be morally justifiable "as revenge for the war on Iraq?" and Galloway answered: "Yes it would be morally justified. I am not calling for it, but if it happened it would be of a wholly different moral order than the events of 7/7. It would be entirely logical and explicable, and morally equivalent to ordering the deaths of thousands of innocent people in Iraq as Blair did." 10) 9 March 2005, during an interview at the University of Dhaka (Bangladesh) campus, Galloway had called for a global alliance between Muslims and progressives because, according to him, they "have the same enemies." 11) In 2010 it emerged in a Channel 4 Dispatches programme that the Islamic Forum of Europe, which advocates sharia law, had been involved in campaigning for Galloway in the Bethnal Green constituency. In a secretly recorded speech at a dinner shortly after his election, Galloway said that the involvement of the IFE had played "the decisive role" in his win. Although the IFE itself denied the accusation, Galloway admitted in a statement that the allegation was true. There are dozens of other examples which attest the truth of what I said in my post, so feel free to carry out your own research if you are interested. You may also come across scathing indictments of horrible bastard Galloway for repeatedly lining his own pockets from monies donated to his 'Charity' as well as from his abuses of the United Nations 'Oil For Food' scheme.

Lets keep in mind that the largest global protests in recorded history on anti-war was the anti-invasion of Iraq in 2003. When Galloway went to Iraq he actually had huge global support.
Anyone old enough and interested enough to remember the military coup that brought Saddam to power in Iraq, were also aware that this was implemented by the CIA for engineered regime change. During the build up to war on Iraq, western corporate media didn’t once mention that the CIA had formerly, back in 1963, aided and abetted mass murder, mass imprisonment, torture and the successful assassination of Qasim. The United States went on to help Saddam win the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s. According to Noam Chomsky, There were no passionate calls for a military strike after Saddam's gassing of Kurds at Halabja in March, 1988; on the contrary, the US and U.K. extended their strong support for the mass murderer, then, also 'our kind of guy' (Iraq and the UN Sanctions, The Economist, Nov.19 1994, p.47) but they used it to try and gain global support when they wanted another regime change and they wanted that regime change because Saddam wasn't playing ball. http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/51/217.html Whilst I believe Saddam was a ruthless dictator, I also understand Bush and Blair to be equally if not more evil and for those reasons I can fully understand why George Galloway said the things he said and did the things he did.

Galloway made a statement during the destruction of Iraq, something to the lines of, "I would fully support the assassination of Hussain but what I can't support are the bombing campaigns that are killing thousands of innocents. I'll try and find something when I have a moment.

I don’t particularly like Galloway but I respect what he stands for. The Galloway I respect and understand is the man who wants the west to mind its own business and stop meddling in middle eastern affairs and he has every right to speak out and make his point. If that makes him a traitor or unpatriotic, then I’m sure he can live with that because he can comfort himself in the knowledge that the 2 million people who marched past parliament in 2003 needed a bigger voice than that. When people swarmed into London on that cold blustery day in Feb 03 and peacefully marched past 10 Downing Street, they were ignored. Blair’s blatant dismissal of that march didn’t breed apathy, it bred activism.
When a government refuses to listen to its nation, that nation needs a voice and at that point in time, Galloway was that voice and thanks to people like him, the fall of Blair’s government became immanent. However, Galloway has said some very stupid things and brought about his own decline in popularity. He’s radically left to the point of making himself look like the bad guy and that’s his own doing. He lost my support when he justified an assassination on Blair because regardless of my sympathies to a suffering middle east, I can’t support someone who uses suggestive language like he sometimes does.

Yes DR I agree with you Galloway. As for this new Isis member he started in Gaza, years back, and now is well into the Terrorism of Evil Isis. |
