George Galloway and the U.S. Smackdown

It's about damn time a person with intelligence and a strong grasp of the English language blasted the US about it's own practices. I'm sure you've heard about the British MP who was called to comment about his alleged participation in the oil-for-food scandal. Instead of being crushed by the machine, he gave America a big fat taste of it's own medicine.

Here's a few quotes:

"I was an opponent of Saddam Hussein when British and American governments and businessmen were selling him guns and gas."

"On the very first page of your document about me, you assert that I have had many meetings with Saddam Hussein. This is false," Mr Galloway said. "I have had two meetings with Saddam Hussein, once in 1994 and once in August 2002. By no stretch of the English language can that be described as many meetings. In fact I've met him exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met him. The difference is that Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns and to give him maps the better to target those guns."

"You have nothing on me, Senator (Norm Coleman, MN), except my name on lists of names from Iraq, many of which have been drawn up after the installation of your puppet government in Iraq.

"Now I know that standards have slipped over the last few years in Washington, but for a lawyer, you are remarkably cavalier with any idea of justice."

Boo-yah! Does our own government honestly think the rest of this world buys into the lies and bullshit that they have been telling? Half of their own country doesn't believe them, why should other countries? I hope this is a beginning of a trend. If other countries continue to lambast our President and his stupid cabinet members, something might actually be done about it. They might actually have to start telling the truth. They might actually find themselves on their asses come next election.

They might actually have to take responsibility for their own actions! Wow, wouldn't that be great.
