Galloway vs. the U.S. Senate
After looking at last week’s debate between Chris Hitchens and George Galloway and being duly impressed by the latter, I traveled around the web to see if any more videos of him existed. I’d nearly forgotten that Galloway was one of the individuals the Bush administration attempted to implicate in the Oil-for-food Scandal earlier this year.
Galloway was called before the Senate in an unprecedented testimonial on his alleged involvement with the Hussein regime. You can watch the entire proceedings here. It is perhaps the first time in our history that a foreign statesman has bitchslapped our corrupt Senate right on the chamber floor.
Conservatives attack Galloway as an appeaser and supporter of Saddam Hussein, while failing to note that the documents “implicating” him were forgeries distributed after the war. It’s also important to point out that no one on either side of the Atlantic has bothered to bring Galloway to trial (because there is absolutely no evidence against him). Galloway’s unmitigated victory in a libel suit on the same topic is further proof in his favor.
