George Galloway: Jackass

I once gave him the benefit of the doubt for his involvement with the Iraq Oil4Food Scandal. Now I just think he's a jackass.

We have worked without rest to remove the causes of such violence from our world. We argued, as did the Security Services in this country, that the attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq would increase the threat of terrorist attack in Britain. Tragically Londoners have now paid the price of the government ignoring such warnings.

We urge the government to remove people in this country from harms way, as the Spanish government acted to remove its people from harm, by ending the occupation of Iraq and by turning its full attention to the development of a real solution to the wider conflicts in the Middle East.

Yes, he did say it. Like Britain's involvement changed the security landscape. Pointing to Spain as an example is just stupid. Or has Georgey boy missed the further problems that Spain has had with terrorists?

QandO has a couple of posts relevant to topic Here and Here.
