Anti-War Brit Took Saddam's Money?

George Galloway was expelled from Tony Blair's Labour Party after urging British soldiers not to fight in Iraq, something even John Kerry or George Voinovich are apparently too noble to do.

Shortly after Galloway won re-election to Parliament on his own anti-Iraq war, grossly misnamed Respect party, this reprehensible human being stands accused of taking money from the man who started it all, Saddam Hussein. Quite a man of honor, this Galloway, decrying war in order to support a bruttal despot who has killed hundreds of thousands. (Toss some "allegeds" and "reporteds" in there; let's be scrupulously fair.)

The Senate's permanent subcommittee on investigations fingered Galloway along wtih French Interior Minister Charles Pasqua and unnamed Russians, for accepting oil allocations under oil-for-food program.

The UN, as provider of the money Hussein used to influence French, Russian and now Brittish officials to support lifting the oil embargo sanctions, has rightfully howled about the US Senate's involvement in the investigation. With Volcker's investigation falling apart, their plan to save Kofi and minimize Oil-for-Food is also crumbling.
