Such language ake, steady on. Just who is doing the killing? Of course I would expect you to agree with these clerical fascists because you're no lover of democracy having always preferred a totalitarian solution. You have absolutely nothing of interest to say.

Teribus says he expects this thread to "go south pretty quick".

I suppose all the apologists for the war and the guilty in Westminster would like to see George "go South"

They just hate being reminded how wrong they were, and how many lives have been lost for fuck all...Ake

I remember that interview with Donald Trelford, when Saddam hanged that young reporter Trelford had working for him on The Observer.

He was a real piece of work Saddam; it was never going to end well for him. It would have so easy to look civilised and decent in those circumstances, and acted that way.

He was nasty and too dumb to see he was vulnerable. Did Bush even know who Saddam was? Bush had to be seen to do something after 9/11 - Saddam was a beetle he could squash - there weren't going to be too many mourners.

I don't pretend to have any special insight, but George Galloway.... I can't believe that you're seriously proposing him as anything but a Big Brother Contestant.

GG is a political thug and it's beginning to look like he's also a crook.

For all you lunatics who think he performs a public service, examine his friends. Yes he's a good orator, so was Hitler. The man is dangerous.

George was asked if "he had any respect for the British parliament" after being excluded.
He replied "these are the people who stood and gave Blair a tear stained ovation when he left the Commons"

Nuf said!!

"Yeah; I don't agree with everything that G G says or does, but he was right about the invasion of Iraq and he didn't get a fair hearing cos the establishment can't cope with renegades"

Not quite correct, THEY can't cope with the truth.

well he was fairly safe predicting it would be a tragedy. Obviously some people were going to get killed - that's what happens in wars. And for them and their family, its a tragedy.

I don't see or hear any great insight into the situation.

He's an opportunist. I think Big Brother was a good career move. I'd not really heard of him til then. I haven't heard very much since. Perhaps he ought to try for Countdown or They Think its All Over - something with a bit of substance - if it wouldn't be too much of a stretch.

Eanjay is quite right to mention the dead ,maimed and traumatised UK and US who are also the victims of the invasion and war in Iraq.
These are overwhelmingly from working class families in both countries and the military has been busy in poor and rundown areas recruiting new soldiers to go and fight..of course they don't talk about the horrific scenes the recruits are likely to encounter or the terrible prospects they face of having limbs blown off or being psychologically wrecked by the experience of war.And of course as Michael Moore pointed out in one of his films , the ruling class have kept its own sons and daughters well away from the killing zones of Iraq.
However,the organisation started by Rose Gentle,mother of Gordon Gentle a soldier killed in Iraq ensured that when Blair left Downing St the last sight he saw as he left by limo were the military families of dead and injured soldiers calling for the troops to be brought home and demanding that Blair face prosecution for war crimes.

It is a fact that the only figures being punished in this country over Iraq are those who opposed the war [Galloway,David Kelly,assorted whistleblowers and army refusniks etc]
However, the other victims are the hundreds of thousands of dead,maimed and traumatised Iraqis.

Also, all the dead, maimed and traumatised British/US soldiers and their families.

Galloway was wrong on Big Brother but was correct about the invasion of Iraq.
The result has been a catastrophe in that country.
Not only was he correct about the invasion and war in that country but he was hounded out of the Labour Party and now [temporarily ] out of Parliament.
As one who has seen him outside a Labour Party conference giving an anti war speech in torrential rain and standing on an old box while the mass ranks of the pro war party sat in comfort inside I can only disagree with Guest Sinky and Terribus above!

I predict that this will move South of the line fairly quickly, unless of course someone is going to pen a song about Gorgeous George.

By the Bye, has he apologised to that reporter yet, you know the one that told the truth about him, who GG defamed under the protection of House Rules? He should have done that as that was what he was ordered to do, by the House Committee that investigated the matter.

It seems to me that George Galloway got a fairer hearing in the republican controlled US Senate than he did in Parliament this evening.
There was the sad and mad sight of hardened pro war war MPs pretending to be hurt because Galloway had the cheek to name and shame them. Well done Galloway. It is a fact that the only figures being punished in this country over Iraq are those who opposed the war [Galloway,David Kelly,assorted whistleblowers and army refusniks etc]
However, the other victims are the hundreds of thousands of dead,maimed and traumatised Iraqis. We don't know their names or their lives but their blood is everywhere.
