How Sweet it is! ...Galloway gets his comeuppance
Maverick British lawmaker George Galloway solicited and received nearly $600,000 in profits for himself and a charity he ran from secret deals under the Iraq oil-for-food program, Senate investigators charged yesterday.This story is patently illustrative that the most vocal critics of the Iraqi war effort also had the most to gain from the status quo, and were merely upset because the U.S.-led invasion had upset the proverbial gravy train that served to line the pockets of many a U.N. thug. And now this blowhard, who swore that he never accepted any bribes from Hussein, meets his sweet comeuppance.
The new charges, released by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs permanent subcommittee on investigations, come five months after Mr. Galloway, a fierce critic of U.S. policy in Iraq, emphatically denied under oath to the panel that he had taken bribes from Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein or participated in any Iraq oil deals.
Subcommittee Chairman Sen. Norm Coleman, Minnesota Republican, said the new findings "clearly demonstrate that the testimony given by Mr. Galloway in May was false and misleading." (read the whole story here).
Ahh.... and in the words of the "Great One", how sweet it is!
