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.
**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.

my realplayer flew away I've been trying to get it back ,... very FLUStrating
Thanks!
Coleman starts by establishing a man (sorry--I didn't get the name) who was Galloway's best man and Galloway knows him very well.
Galloway belligerent in the face of Coleman's calm style.
Exactly -- Galloway got to rant and now when it's Coleman's turn -- CUT AWAY.
We're only going to hear a one sided argument. Everytime galloway comes on, they'll broadcast it.
Let me get this straight---Coleman has this committee meeting in order to question Galloway and others about the OFF Scandal---
and on the same day, the DEMOCRATS are trying to throw the US on the same crap pile with Galloway?
And also saying this only happened under the Bush Administration????
Coleman is referring to "surcharges" from saddam.....Galloway is saying it's preposperous he gave $300 mill to Saddam.....
Galloway is filibustering and speechifying each question, I'd have him stick to short yes/no answers
This punk is getting on my last nerve.
>>This one ?<<
No this one

But I notice they are both British
Galloway has a problem answering the questions
Seems defensive to me.

Thanks
I've just called FNC and yelled at the poor gal.
OH< now they're going live again!
Galloway goes off on a tangent and again rants about the Iraq war.
"The DUmmies are in LOVE!"
If I were them I would be too. LOL
This guy does speak well. The sad fact is that the loudest does get heard and remembered. He is making me sick, but he holds his ground well.
Hasn't he said "DID BETTER THAN THAT" 4 times in the last 5 minutes or so?
Will be playing catch up all day and thank you for keeping so many of us alerted!
You Go Girl!!
