British Parliament member to face oil-for-food accusers

Galloway speaks to the media after arriving Monday at Dulles International Airport outside Washington.
(CNN) -- British Parliament member George Galloway will face his accusers when he testifies Tuesday before a U.S. Senate panel probing the U.N. oil-for-food program in Iraq.
Galloway is due to appear before the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which stated in a report last week that deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein granted him vouchers for 20 million barrels of oil between 2000 and 2003.
**SNIP**
Galloway is scheduled to appear late Tuesday morning in Washington as the final witness in a hearing that begins at 9:30 a.m. ET.
**SNIP**
Galloway, 51, who met with Saddam several times in the 1990s, has been a leading critic of British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his alliance with U.S. President George Bush in the war with Iraq. He was re-elected on an anti-war platform earlier this month.
**SNIP**
A new report from Democrats on the Senate subcommittee concludes the United States ended up with a majority of the oil lifted from Iraq after vendors paid illicit surcharges of 10 cents to 30 cents a barrel to Saddam.
**SNIP**
The Democratic report found Bayoil shipped a lot of oil allocated to a company called Italtech run by Augusto Giangrandi, a sometime Florida resident with dual Chilean-Italian citizenship.

This guy isn't a U.S. citizen so he can lie up a storm before the Senate. Video replays of Galloway getting off the plane showed that his mouth never really stops running.

The committee hearing will give him a platform for bashing the USA and President Bush. It will be a test as to whether Norm Colman can maintain control and extract useful information. I'm sure that the demorates will use every opportunity during Galloway's "testimony" to Bush bash!

Looks like G.Mason is wrong once again. I did say this POS was not going to appear.
Tuesday is popcorn day at the Mason household. ;)

Keep track of any good stuff that happens before I get back.

No doubt Senator Levin will be asking him some softball questions and suggesting it's all Bush's fault somehow.
