Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy:
George Galloway faces the prospect of a criminal investigation into his activities by the serious fraud office, which has collected evidence relating to the oil-for-food corruption scandal in Iraq.
A four-strong SFO team returned from Washington with what a source close to US investigators calls “thousands of documents” about the scandal. The team is expected to produce, within the next four weeks, a report for the SFO director, Robert Wardle, as to whether a full criminal investigation should be mounted into UK individuals and companies involved, including Mr Galloway, the Respect MP for Bethnal Green and Bow.The SFO is following up two official reports published before Christmas in Washington, which detailed banking evidence that Mr Galloway’s wife and his political campaign organisation both received large sums from Saddam Hussein, laundered through under-the-counter oil allocations.
Mr Galloway is unaware of the SFO’s activities. He is in the Channel 4 TV show Celebrity Big Brother and cut off from outside contact. He is expected to be evicted from the Big Brother house tonight.
I’m sure that’s a relief to watchers of the show, who I’d bet had had enough of images like these of the British ‘Respect’ MP.
While the video of Galloway in a tight red suit on Celebrity Big Brother may be amusing, a more serious video has emerged of Galloway with none other than Uday Hussein, Saddam’s raping, torturing, murderous son who (along with his brother Qusay) is no longer with us courtesy of the US military. The video was shot in 1999. Sky News reports:
Video footage has emerged showing George Galloway shaking hands with Saddam Hussein’s son Uday - a rapist, torturer and convicted murderer.
The video, obtained by The Sun, shows the Respect MP having a 20-minute meeting with Saddam’s eldest son in an Iraqi palace in 1999.
In the video, Mr Galloway is seen to greet Uday, shaking his hand twice and calling him “Excellency”.
He jokes about losing weight, going bald and failing to give up smoking cigars.
Mr Galloway also orders watching journalists not to publish parts of their conversation.
Finally, according to the paper, he taunts the United States and vows to stick with Uday “until the end”.
The video was shot for an Iraqi TV station and was smuggled out of Iraq before the regime fell.
Uday beat and stabbed to death his father’s personal valet and food taster, Kemal Hana Gegeo, and was briefly imprisoned by Saddam.
He also raped numerous women, and his victims are believed to have included a visiting Russian ballerina.
And as head of the Iraqi Olympic Committee, he oversaw the imprisonment and torture of Iraqi athletes who were deemed not to have performed to expectations.
See the video here.
Charming fellow, eh? Just more evidence of what a traitor Galloway is to his fellow countrymen.

“Finally, according to the paper, he taunts the United States and vows to stick with Uday “until the end”.”
- Somehow I don’t think this was quite the sort of “end” he had in mind, but in any event its always a pleasure to see charletons like the palavoring George get their just desserts….

From ‘Big Brother’ to the ‘Big House’. Could happen to a more deserving waste of oxygen.

Again? This is the third or fourth time that they have investigated him for the same thing. And there are pictures of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Uday and Saddam just after he sold them chemical weapons in the 80’s. Peace

“And there are pictures of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Uday and Saddam just after he sold them chemical weapons in the 80’s.”
Was that photo taken in 1999 during the oil for food program and the defiance by Saddam of the UN’s weapons inspectors? Peace

Sister, steve is practising equivalene again. steve, excludes context and morality from his view so he can bear witness to his perceived evil of W spreading freedom and democracy.

No, those pictures were taken in Reagan’s administration when our government set Saddam up in power and then armed him to the teeth so he could try to crush Iran militarily. Several problems here: the war was a tie and Saddam was nuts. So instead of having 0 enemies we had 2 thanks to Reagan’s stupid foreign policy. Peace
Comment by steve @ 1/25/2006 - 3:26 pm
steve, Saddam was already nuts and in power when Reagan was elected. We did not put Saddam in power. I wish you’d stick to the true facts.
Are you going to tell us October Surprise was true?

No no no Lorica! Paul McCarney is still alive and well, it’s David Koresh and Howard Hughes who are living with JFK and Elvis. Howard designed the mothership, and Koresh is living in the ash tray!

Steve,
Oh yeah, Iran, not yet an enemy because of “Reagan’s stupid foreign policy,” held Americans hostage before he took office. Peace.

Noooo Sev that is his clone, it was sent down from the mothership via the raillian cult. When Lennon said “Paul is dead” he was uninformed about the whole ordeal. - Lorica
Comment by Lorica @ 1/25/2006 - 9:13 pm
Well, Lorica, that would explain a lot (like Linda McCartney).
Comment by Severian @ 1/25/2006 - 9:15 pm
Sev, but how do you explain Yoko Ono?
Steve, do you have a thing for your toes? You keep sticking your foot in your mouth. GAWD!!!
Comment by PCD @ 1/26/2006 - 8:44 am
I am sorry, but my personal feelings about Galloway are that he is a traitor, he took money from a foreign nation to for favors. Note the word “Foreign” in that last sentence. It amazes me how the left shrugs this off, but GW and the rest of the corrupt Repubs should “swing from the neck until dead”. Can we talk about a double standard. - Lorica
Comment by Lorica @ 1/26/2006 - 10:07 am
Yoko? OH NO!!!
Space aliens, there’s no other explanation!
Comment by Severian @ 1/26/2006 - 10:53 am
If you read more than a few Right-Center blogs you will run across the same or very similar posts from Steve. He never engages, just posts and goes. Notice how he never capitalizes the president’s name? Infantile silliness. Peas and carrots

The sky video was hysterical. This guy is done. I don’t think it matters if he did wrong or not. This fellow is just twisted and should propbably not be representing any branch of anything.
