It was surprising how many people seemed to take genuine pleasure in British MP George Galloway's contentious appearance before the Senate Subcommittee on Investigations. ... What was striking was the sight of a man inside the Senate chamber using the full force of the English language to denounce the pack of lies behind President Bush's Iraq policy. Galloway didn't submit to the Democratic Party script and pretend that the war was due to a 'massive intelligence failure,' that President Bush was somehow misinformed about Saddam's weapons (or lack of them). He went instead for the jugular of the whole enterprise, reiterating what he had said well before the war -- that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, no connection to 9/11, no ties to al-Qaeda -- and on these crucial points he was right and Sen. Norm Coleman and the other Republicans hoping to milk his testimony for electoral gain were dead wrong." (for publication 07/04/05)
