George Galloway - Live From Beirut

Recordings of Galloway's debates, live from Beirut this evening.

I have recorded some of the discussion from tonight's show, from 9pm onward, and put it up on Youtube. Unfortunately, because of Youtube's 'ten minute' rule, not everything is included. But, since Talksport has a lot of ads, most of the useful discussion is. In particular, the contributions from people who served in Palestine at the tail-end of the Mandate were invaluable, but Galloway also has some imperishable dialogue with a few pro-Zionist commentators:

Has Galloway set foot in Iraq since the fall of Sadam? When Sadam was in power Galloway seemed to be in Iraq every few months on Iraqi TV kissing Sadam's arse. Staying in top hotels treated like a VIP by the Sadam govenment, wonder when he was there he ever gave a thought to visiting the site of the mass graves of Kurds murdered by Sadam or the jails where tens of thousands of political prisoners were being helded. I remember a TV interview where he was asked about the mass murder of the Kurds by gassing, his reply:' oh that was ages ago'. Did he think of going to visit the families of those murdered by Sadam, there are plenty of them. Of course not he had his ego and his bank account to take care of.

You are spot on Joe, the war in Iraq was right and just to liberate the people of Iraq from Saddam Husseins' tyranny. Indymedia are just like George Galloway too, you never see pictures or reports about the mass graves in Iraq on here or see reports from the Kurds who were already at war with Saddams' regime before Gulf War II. Saddam murdered hundreds and hundreds of thousands of his own people, the only thing wrong with the last Gulf War was that it wasn't done sooner like in the 1980s after Saddam came to power.
