GEORGE Galloway was accused by a senior minister last night of "dipping his poisonous tongue in a pool of blood", after the former Labour MP warned the terrorist attacks in the capital will not be the last.
The outspoken Respect MP for Bethnal Green and Bow and anti-war campaigner hit back at his accuser, the armed forces minister Adam Ingram, likening him to a "foul-mouthed ... thug".
Sylvia Heal, the Deputy Speaker, had to intervene, reminding the House that "good temper and moderation" were the hallmarks of language in the Commons and they should remember that on this day of all days.
The bitter spat in the dying moments of a defence debate came after MPs had united in sorrow and condemnation of the terrorist attacks across London.
In an earlier statement, Mr Galloway said Londoners had "paid the price" for Tony Blair's decision to go to war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In the Commons debate, Mr Galloway condemned the "despicable act", but he warned that the Iraq war and other actions had created a "whole army of people out there that want to harm us".
"Let there be no equivocation: the primary responsibility for the bloodshed this morning lies with those who carried out the acts," the Respect MP said. "But it would be utterly crass to ... separate these acts from the political backdrop against which they took place."
Julian Lewis, a Tory front-bench spokesman, delivered a stinging rebuke to Mr Galloway at the close of the debate, and Mr Ingram went further, accusing his former party colleague of "dipping his poisonous tongue in a pool of blood."
He added: "I think it is disgraceful."
He is right. Its not just our military at war with Islam, Islam will attack us anywhere we are. He is probably suggesting we surrender to their will in order to avoid attacks but he is right that we cant go to their countries and fight a war and be surprised if they come to ass and attack us on our land. We just need to attack them a lot harder.
I'm Galloway's age and about his weight and I am inviting him back to the US. In honor of his membership in the Respect party, I would like to teach him some respect. He desperately needs his ass kicked and I am just the old bastard to do it.
He ought to know, eh?!
I would like to see Mr. Galloway as a guest star in one of Abu Musab al-Zarqari's beheading video's
Oh yeah, they "evolved" from flying huge passenger airlines into massive buildings to carrying a couple pounds of explosives in backpacks. That's really stepping forward, isn't it?
OHH MANNNN I hate that dude Saddam little b***h pinging Ivan and Snugs on this
Wow...I wonder what George thinks created 9/11, the USS Cole or the US Embassy bombings? How about WTC-1993, Pan Am, Achille Lauro, etc, etc, etc? By this reasoning we can never defend ourselves for fear of retaliation. Geez...I hate liberals.
With AlQaida you just never know what to expect.
However, I don't recall saying "evolve" ~ must be someone one else.
Galloway can ask Boxer/Kennedy/Kerry/Durbin/etc about this....they are all speaking from the same sheet of music. Pathetic bunch of folks.
HERE is what NEEDS TO BE SAID to the world:
These barbarians are going to necessitate that we do something really radical: defeat them with EVERY means needed.
No more "aid to Africa", no more "foreign assistance to Palestinians", no more "money for global warming", no more "caring for the indigent", etc.
All our national resources and legal mechanisms will have to be retooled in the effort to defeat this enemy. It will require more people and more equipment. It will require less freedom and more severe sentences, and a greater probability that an innocent person will be condemned. It will require that "protesters", whether on the streets or in the Senate, be thrown into jail and charged with sedition.
For my part, I will encourage any and all who unabashedly claim defeating and eliminating these barbarians this to be our NUMBER ONE priority - and any other government work or programs be a distant also-ran.
Galloway should be publicly hanged
I would love to have one of the MP's ask this scum, when he was planning on converting to Islamofascism so he can feel safe. (sarcasm on the safe part)
Jihad IS WWIII.
I believe the section of the UK that Galloway represents is pretty well populated by muzzies, so his attitude doesn't surprise me. He is in their collective pocket...IMO.
They DO have a way with the English word, those Brits, eh? One of the reasons I love em. Except for that political WHORE Galloway. His consituency is largely Muslim I believe, and it is my opinion that he sells out to them, in more way than one, if ya catch my drift (Hey, Galloway, sue -THIS-).
You can't expect these anti-war cranks to stop acting like anti-war cranks, regardless of the circumstances. People like Galloway are way to far into the leftist schtick to be impressed by terrorist bombings.
Don't expect any changes here in the U.S., either. The peaceniks are ranting and raving tonight on other websites.
Mr Galloway is a phoney, dishonest mentally deranged terrorist sympathizer.
(Otherwise he's a pretty nice guy.)
