Galloway and Fonda forge a fighting pact Is that the guy who was allegedly on Saddam's payroll? Good company. He and Honoi Jane... As it turned out, your senators lied. He wasn't on Saddam's payroll........ and he made two of your best senators look like horses' asses. Here are some excerpts from the comments he made to them.......they are priceless: ""As a matter of fact, I have met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met him. The difference is Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns and to give him maps the better to target those guns. I met him to try and bring about an end to sanctions, suffering and war, and on the second of the two occasions, I met him to try and persuade him to let Dr Hans Blix and the United Nations weapons inspectors back into the country - a rather better use of two meetings with Saddam Hussein than your own Secretary of State for Defence made of his." EDIT.Now here he's warming up for the kill........the reference to the Christian Science Monitor is a hint that he's getting ready: ""But perhaps you were confusing the Daily Telegraph action with the Christian Science Monitor. The Christian Science Monitor did indeed publish on its front pages a set of allegations against me very similar to the ones that your committee have made. They did indeed rely on documents which started in 1992, 1993. These documents were unmasked by the Christian Science Monitor themselves as forgeries. "Now, the neo-con websites and newspapers in which you're such a hero, senator, were all absolutely cock-a-hoop at the publication of the Christian Science Monitor documents, they were all absolutely convinced of their authenticity. They were all absolutely convinced that these documents showed me receiving $10 million from the Saddam regime. And they were all lies."" EDIT.Did you note his reference to the neocon media outlets.......isn't it pathetic? Everyone in the world knows how lame and second rate they are. But you all read them with complete faith in their credibility..........very sad. Now here he's starting to stick the knife in and then turn it: ""Senator, in everything I said about Iraq, I turned out to be right and you turned out to be wrong and 100,000 people paid with their lives; 1600 of them American soldiers sent to their deaths on a pack of lies; 15,000 of them wounded, many of them disabled forever on a pack of lies. If the world had listened to Kofi Annan, whose dismissal you demanded, if the world had listened to President Chirac who you want to paint as some kind of corrupt traitor, if the world had listened to me and the anti-war movement in Britain, we would not be in the disaster that we are in today. Senator, this is the mother of all smokescreens. You are trying to divert attention from the crimes that you supported, from the theft of billions of dollars of Iraq's wealth." EDIT.I am going to stop here. I am saving the last for a special occasion......like an impeachment or when the troops come home. In any case, that's the G. Galloway who's coming back to America for a jaunt around the country. I can't wait! BTW did I meantion he's a SOCIALIST!!
