  Now, watch me debate him. - By Christopher Hitchens - Slate Magazine
Galloway publicly deplored this withdrawal, saying that Syria's presence in Lebanon was "legal," which it was not after the Taif Accords of more than a decade ago, and adding that "the beneficiary from the absence of Syria is the US and Israel."
Galloway's preferred style is that of vulgar ad hominem insult, usually uttered while a rather gaunt crew of minders stands around him.
Study the photographs of Galloway from Syrian state television, however, and you will see how unwise and incautious it is for such a hideous person to resort to personal remarks.

 Video: Galloway takes on US oil accusers
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".
Galloway, you would have this committee believe that your designated representative from the Mariam's Appeal becomes the chair of the Mariam's Appeal, was listed in Iraqi documents as obviously doing business, oil deals with Iraq, that you never had a conversation with him in 2001 or whether he was doing oil business with Iraq.
GALLOWAY: Well, the parenthesis, if the parenthesis implies--as you've been arguing all morning that it implies--that this was being signed for by Middle East Advanced Semiconductors in order to pass the money on to me, is false.

Galloway, whose wife is Palestinian, stands in a Muslim constitency for his home-made RESPECT party, and perpetually cites 'neocons' and 'Sharon's Israel' as his areas of discontent.
Galloway probably is farther to the left than I am comfortable with, but both sides have their Galloway types and they serve their own kinds of purpose.
Galloway is upset because his side, after a huge winning streak that had most westerners convinced that Communism was the wave of the future, upped and died of its own corruption and incompetence (with some help from Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher).

Galloway: These liars, these criminals, were warned, 'You are opening the gates of hell with this invasion, and the Iraqis will fight you with their teeth if necessary and as long as is necessary until they drive you from their land.' Because the Iraqi people -- the Iraqi people are not less than us.
Galloway: This time, General Sharon was not the Defense Minister, he was the Prime Minister in charge of the massacre of Jenin.
Throughout Galloway's speech, directly behind his head, was a large banner with the letters "ISR." I overheard more than one audience member expressing distaste for the banner, as it displayed the first three letters of "ISRAEL" -- even though ISR is actually the acronym for the event's sponsor, the International Socialist Review.

Galloway were Bill Davis, Vietnam Veterans Against the War; Ahmed Shawki, Editor of International Socialist Review and a board member of the National Council of Arab Americans; and Sabah Khan, a student and member of the Campus Antiwar Network (CAN) chapter at University of Illinois at Chicago.
Galloway referred to as a “mass demonstration of neo-cons.” At least they were good for a laugh.
Galloway illustrated this by pointing out that Prime Minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon, had recently been welcomed to New York City, only days after the anniversary of the massacre of Palestinian refugees at the Sabra and Shatila camps in Southern Lebanon more than two decades earlier.

 Democracy Now! | The Grapple in the Big Apple: British MP George Galloway v. Christopher Hitchens
GEORGE GALLOWAY: Saddam Hussein committed real and serious crimes against the people of Iraq, most of them in the 1980s when he was the closest friend of the United States and Great Britain.
Galloway claims that at a certain period in the 1980s he was supporting Iraqi democrats and protesting against Saddam Hussein, knowing what he was capable of, knowing what he had done, knowing the genocide, for example, committed in Kurdistan and knowing of the aggressions and the chemical weaponry that had been deployed in Iran.
Galloway is right that our policy in the past has been heinous -- we at last fight on their side, too.

 Democracy Now! | British Antiwar MP George Galloway: "London Has Reaped Blair's Involvement in Iraq"
We're also joined by George Galloway, who is the former British MP, who was expelled from the party in October of 2003 because of statements he made opposing the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Galloway; your criticism of Britain's participation in the war -- apparently, there was rebuttal from Home Secretary Charles Clark, who said that this has nothing to do with Iraq or any other particular foreign policy, it's about a fundamentalist attack on the way we live our lives.
And so, I think while I understand what George Galloway is saying, it's actually too early to say that this is because of such and such a policy, because we don't yet know who the perpetrators were.
