George Galloway may not get a chance to savour his re-election to the British parliament.
The United Nations oil-for-food scandal is about to get nastier and more personal. Sources tell TIME that the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, chaired by Minnesota’s Norm Coleman, will soon make public the names of prominent individuals from several countries who received lucrative and oh-so-illegal oil contracts from Saddam Hussein in violation of the U.N. program designed to keep the Iraqi people from starving while depriving their dictator of cash. Although the names of scores of rumored recipients have been circulating for more than a year, this week the subcommittee is expected to begin releasing voluminous details of oil contracts with Charles Pasqua, a former French Interior Minister and onetime close associate of French President Jacques Chirac’s who has categorically denied any involvement. Among others to be named are a member of British Parliament, a right-wing politician in Russia and a former senior aide to Russia’s President, Vladimir Putin.
It’s just a brief teaser from the May 16th TIME issue.

Hmm I wonder if Galloway will try to sue the US government for defamation? Haha he’ll probably have to be satisfied with denials and racial comments about Condi Rice. That seems to be all he can do in most situations.
Well at least Canadians can say they never voted for some POS like him at least. Maybe you could introduce your “Screeching Annie” to him and see what type of offspring resulted?
“Categorically denied any involvement”:
Cliche meaning “Guilty as charged”, “in on the
bribes over my head”, ” Oui, I took the bribes”,
“Bribes ‘R Me/Us”, ” Took as much as I could get”,
“So, what are ya gonna do about it?”.
Yep Galloway has no chance. Standing up to Blair was compounded by defeating a black woman in the recent election. Can’t imagine an
interview like this in North America

It’s pretty creepy. Galloway, if guilty, is indirectly responsible for the war and the deaths of United States soldiers and should be extradited and tried by a United States military court. He should spent the remainder of his time on the ploanet breaking big rocks into small rocks at Leavenworth. What a worthless bum!
