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.

>>Change the file association .ram to point to that program.<
Good point, if you installed Real player after alternative media play it took over .ram files.

In windows explorer, go to tools
options
file types
select the RAM type
select change
select media player classic

I certainly hope that Coleman has a surprise witness and/or documents that nail Galloway's lies.

He does have notes. He's just a good dramatic reader.

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.

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.
