He swears he's innocent.

The DU dhimmi have a thread up expressing their outrage at these ridiculous allegations.

DU is such a fun place.

Consider this thread:

Like it or not, Saddam is the legitimate head of state in Iraq - the Invasion that unseated and captured him was illegal.

Norm Coleman for president!

While it's nice that Galloway apparently has been shown to be a lying crook for the thousandth time, I wouldn't hold out hope that the U.S. will prosecute him. It would be quite bad for U.S. foreign relations with Britain if we arrested a member of their government.

Now if Britain wants to go after him with this information, that's another story entirely.

Piffle. The idiot voluntarily came here and lied under oath to the Senate committee. The crime happened here, and ought to be prosecuted here. He'll have a grand old time making himself a victim, but I bet no one in the UK will shed any tears over him.

No Worries.... Galloway will just pull out the Chewbacca defense!

Galloway's a crook?! But.. but he always came off so modest and trustworthy..

He's a member of the UK Parliament (representing a party with a commie-islamofascist platform) - he is not a member of the government. Loose shit.

"He's a member of the UK Parliament (representing a party with a commie-islamofascist platform) - he is not a member of the government"

Uh, holdfast, Parliament is a part of the British government. You wouldn't say that a member of the U.S. Congress isn't part of the government, would you?

I'm hardly a touchy-feely type, but arresting elected officials of a close ally is not good for relations, even if most people governed by that ally hate the official with a passion.

Hand over the evidence to Britain and let them prosecute him for violating U.K. law with respect to UN sanctions. Because you sure as hell aren't going to convince U.K. officials to extradite him over here.

Having just spent the morning reading all about the differences between british and american english, I believe I am in a position to explain.

You see, what a brit refers to as the "government", an american would refer to as the "administration". The government is the Prime Minister, his cabinet, and I think the ministries. Parliament is not part of the government.

Any brits out there want to tell me what you would call what we americans refer to as the "government"?

Jeez, why's everyone so worked up? I mean what's the big friggin' deal? Seriously, who here hasn't at some point in their lives defended mass murder and stolen food and medicine money from sick and starving third-world children? I mean, come on, drop the whole holier-than-thou trip already. It's just a few dead kids. Get over your preachy selves.

I like "Slubog's" thread, it's hilarious.

DUers arguing that Saddam is the legal head under international law or at least because other heads of state recognize him, while ignoring the fact that far more heads of state recognize the "illegitimate" Bush as leader of America. And of course that the invasion was somehow illegal under some international law (What, Kellog-Briand? Whos my international congressman while we're at it?)

This is why i love the DU, there so scary and Antiamerican that is funny

It seemed to me at the time that the gentleman "doth protest too much." It really was difficult for me to believe that someone could spew the stuff that came out of his mouth. Alright Norm!!!!

Maybe they'll turn him over to the Iraqis for prosecution, seeing as how he profitted from their misery.

Can't tell you how many times I've found a few extra hundred thousand clams in a dresser-drawer that I'd forgotten all about.

Don't get me started about the stack of oil vouchers one of my guests found under the candy dish one time.

It's bloody embarrassing.

George Gallaway cuaght with his hands in the cookie jar what you got to say for yourself Mr Gallaway?

Tubby?...Tuuubby!
Hey Buddy, come on out and tell us all how having one of your leading lefty loudmouths exposed as a common thief doesn't matter. He's being framed right?
Oh, and do it at excruciating length, with your blinders firmly in place.
Fucking dumbass.

Hitchens ought to have something good on this soon. Then again, he's been pantsing this clown for so long maybe he's out of material.
