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.

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.

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.

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.

"The world knows how you treat prisoners".
Ooooh, can't wait to hear Coleman's response.
"Senior regine official -- who he actually is..."
Man this jerk is arrogant and nasty.
Calling Coleman a schoolboy. This is unbelievable.

Good point, if you installed Real player after alternative media play it took over .ram files.

I hope Coleman has evidence that he slaps him with.
Coleman better have the goods or Galloway will chew him up and spit him out
I certainly hope that Coleman has a surprise witness and/or documents that nail Galloway's lies.
That statement is likely to incite "the street."
He does have notes. He's just a good dramatic reader.
Oh maggie, me too.
Coleman will tear him a new one.
Coleman should have the goods.
Oh, yes, he can parse with the best.
He's long stated his inane "I have never seen a barrel of Oil", etc defense since the list came out.
Now claiming (in my feed) that he has a better anti-Saddam record than anyone else in the British or American organizations.
He's speaking with umbrage! He doesn't own any companies, says he.
Well, I will have to join you in the dunce's corner!!!
But, I cannot stand the way this guy is treating Coleman--I new he had no class---
I don't think I will miss him is they cut out from this---what an a$$!
He is a very good liar that's for sure.
Nasty little creep too.
Coleman is prepared. I just hope he has more than 7 minutes.
Says Coleman has nothing on him except his name on lists.
Cock-a-hoop?!?
This is the rough and tumble of the British Parliment. They are raised using debate. What Coleman needs to do is hit him with some real evidence, which will deflate his balloon. Coleman is not going to win a debate based on the use of words.
Maybe a soon to be ex-wife or ex=mistress????
