Explosive showdown in US Senate

As some of you may know, George Galloway, , Respect MP for Bethnal Green and Bow, delivered this statement to US Senators who have accused him of corruption regarding Iraqi affairs.

This would arguably be the strongest testimony of this century.

I strongly recommend viewing the whole vedio to widen your political/historical scope, available at:

This is what the BBC said:

"British MP George Galloway has told US senators who accused him of profiting from Iraq oil dealings their claims were the "mother of all smokescreens". full article at:

Agree with you. Both Bush and Blair made asses of themselves. They manipulated the press and the public towards a certain stance.

Obama at least had the courage to stand up and say that the Iraq conflict was wrong and that the focus should be on Afghanistan..

Isn't this very old news, or have there been some new developments recently?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if he cleared his name.

Wonder how much some of the US politicians made out of Iraq. The ex-vice president springs to mind.
