Cites Chalabi and calls him a fraudster and con-man, largley responsible for leading us into the disaster in Iraq.

>>I hope Coleman has evidence that he slaps him with.<<

Coleman better have the evidence at this point because otherwise this is gonna be a big PR hit.....

particularly with that report coming out today claiming Americans got 52% of Saddam oil allocations and trying to make it look like the Bush administration ignored that and that the Army was involved with Jordan in buying oil from Iraq that bypassed the oil for food program...

Coleman really needs to be on his game today to avoid a bit hit.

"I hope Coleman has evidence that he slaps him with."

Me too.
This guy sounds believable, but most good liers often do.

If Coleman does not come out strong this guy could come out ahead on well spoken material anyway.

He has notes, but doesn't refer to them very often. He is looking straight ahead most of the time.

Oil-for-Food

Origins: In August 1990 the Security Council adopted resolution 661, imposing comprehensive sanctions on Iraq following that country’s invasion of Kuwait. In the immediate aftermath of the Gulf War in 1991, the Secretary-General dispatched an inter-agency mission to assess the humanitarian needs arising in Iraq and Kuwait. The mission visited Iraq from 10 to 17 March 1991 and reported that "the Iraqi people may soon face a further imminent catastrophe, which could include epidemic and famine, if massive life-supporting needs are not rapidly met." (S/22366, para. 37). Throughout 1991, with growing concern over the humanitarian situation in the country, the United Nations proposed measures to enable Iraq to sell limited quantities of oil to meet its people's needs. The Government of Iraq declined these offers, contained in particular, in resolutions 706 (1991) and 712 (1991), adopted, respectively, in August and September 1991.

I'm up to his indignation over Abu Ghraib and "how you treat prisoners" there.

(keeps calling Iraq a disaster)

"I had never set foot in Iraq until late 1993".


Who said that he did?!


"Oil for food scheme didn't exist during my time".


"War with Iraq killed a million children" "for no other reason but because they were Iraqis".

I believe Coleman is well aware of this.

Jeez, now Galloway is starting about how we killed thousands of Iraqi children, your case for war was a pack of lies, etc. etc.

It would be ok with me if Coleman pulled out a gun and shot him.
