Galloway describes as arrogant, immoral the US foreign policy

Wednesday, January 17, 2007 - 09:00 AM

Damascus, (SANA)- Member of the British House of Commons George Galloway underlined that the US policy has become immoral and hopeless due to its bad conduct in the world and the way it deals with the international affairs. In an interview with 'al-Jazeera' Satellite TV Channel overnight, Galloway added that America, through its occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, has created terrorism in the world and it is seeking to plunder peoples' wealth through its arrogant policy.

The British legislator condemned the torture practices against detainees in Guantanamo Bay prison and secret prisons in Europe, describing Guantanamo as illegal and black blemish for torturing the detainees without any fair judicial trial.

I'd not heard about this anywhere else, so I'll try and track down the video

I jsut watched this and was very surprised to hear GG saying that Israel's influence was largely behind the war in Iraq. So often in the past he's said that the 'tail doesn't wag the dog', so what's changed?

Think it relates mainly due to the Pro Israel lobby in the Senate pushing for it more than anything else. That lot will always do Israel's bidding in the Senate. So, not so much the tail wagging the dog but the 'tail' within the dog doing the wagging.

I watched it earlier as well. His opponent seemed a bit of a joker - going on about tracing his family roots there to 3000 years! Let everyone go back to where our families were allegedly, 3000 years and see if it makes the World a better place...

Actually, it was a bit odd having him on with George on a show called 'Inside Iraq', as the topic was always going to dovetail into the Israel/Palestine conflict. George duly embarrassed him though, all the same.
