TRAITOR (Meet George Galloway, MP for Bagdad Central) The Sun ^ \| Apri 1, 2003 \| The Sun MAVERICK Scots MP George Galloway has come under fire for branding Tony Blair and George Bush "wolves" for carrying out military action against Iraq. The controversial Labour veteran, renowned for his anti-war views, appeared on Abu Dhabi TV to accuse them of lying to the armed forces about the length of the conflict and question why Arab countries were selling oil to the coalition forces. Mr Galloway later defended his comments, insisting he was not a traitor and called on British soldiers fighting in the gulf to refuse to obey "illegal orders". In his television interview, Mr Galloway said: "Even if it’s not realistic to ask a non-Iraqi army to come to defend Iraq, we see Arab regimes pumping oil for the countries who are attacking it. "We wonder when the Arab leaders will wake up. When are they going to stand by the Iraqi people? Blair and Bush have lied to the British Air Force and Navy when they said the battle of Iraq would be very quick and easy. They attacked Iraq like wolves. They attacked civilians. "It is better for Blair and Bush to stop this crime and this catastrophe. It is time for them to return to the UN Security Council and give diplomacy a chance." Mr Galloway later rejected suggestions that his interview amounted to an act of treachery. He said: "The people who have betrayed this country are those who have sold it to a foreign power and who have been the miserable surrogates of a bigger power for reasons very few people in Britain can understand. "Given that I believe this invasion is illegal, the only people fighting legally are the Iraqis, who are defending their country. The best thing British troops can do is to refuse to obey illegal orders." But Armed Forces Minister Adam Ingram said: "Are there no depths to which George Galloway will not sink? I’m sure such disgraceful comments will be rightly condemned the length and breadth of this country."
