British MP (member of parliament) George Galloway told Al Bawaba on Wednesday that the Americans are losing the war in Iraq as he also warned that the forerunners of a civil war are peeking in on Lebanon.He also called on the Lebanese opposition not to transform Lebanon into “a knife in Syria’s back". Galloway also criticized British Premier Tony Blair vehemently for denying the connection between his country’s participation in the invasion of Iraq and the London explosions.

Galloway, who arrived in Amman on a leg of his Middle East tour, said “the Americans are losing the war,” pointing out that the losses they incurred in Iraq since the invasion in April 2003 are approaching the size of their losses during the same period of time during the Vietnam war. Galloway said that the American army’s announcement yesterday of the death of four of their soldiers in an explosion west of Baghdad brought the total number of deaths to nearly two thousand. Additionally, about ten times that number has been wounded - 10 percent of whom are permanently amputated and/or disabled.

Galloway, who heads the British opposition party “Respect”, said it was unlikely that the US-led foreign forces would withdraw from Iraq in 2005, as indicated by information that purportedly leaked from the British and US Ministries of Defense.

This is one traitor who should be shipped over to Fallujah/Kabul on the next available transport. I mean he can only support the resistance so much from the House of Commons and his Pagoda syyle Villa in Portugal.How this guy sleeps at night is and amazement to me.

The Brits have Galloway, and we have Kennedy.

"The Americans are losing the war"

Riiight... Saddam will be putting Bush on trial any day now.
We won, it's over and the Iraqi's are now free to set their own course. It's not being dictated from Washington, but with the Losers we're damned if we do and damned if we don't.

I don't know what MP Galloway is smoking, but after 16 months, the numbers aren't even close.

Wonderful to have terrorists in your government isnt it?

I wonder now that they have/are bringing in tough new anti-terror laws,specifically anti-incitement, will they go after Al-Galloway and his fellow jihadi's? I would love to see this snivelling piece of dross without sleep for two weeks.
