Enemy of the state
By TREVOR KAVANAGH

TREACHEROUS MP George Galloway was branded an enemy of the state last night after he urged the Arab world to rise up and kill British troops in Iraq.
The slimy Saddam supporter described the war launched by George Bush and Tony Blair as a crime.
And he called the Allied leaders and soldiers “wolves”.
In words which could have been uttered by Osama bin Laden, he said: “Iraq is fighting for all the Arabs. Where are the Arab armies?”
Labour MP Galloway — nicknamed the Member for Baghdad Central — also CONDEMNED the rulers of Arab nations like Kuwait and Qatar for aiding the coalition war effort.
And he called on Gulf states to CRIPPLE the West by cutting off oil supplies.
The Glasgow Kelvin MP’s rant, made in an interview for Abu Dhabi TV, threatens to inflame anti-British anger across the Islamic world.
He said: “Even if it is not realistic to ask a non-Iraqi army to come to defend Iraq, we see Arab regimes pumping oil for the countries who are attacking it.
“We wonder when the Arab leaders will wake up. When are they going to stand by the Iraqi people?”
The interview — broadcast on Friday as coalition troops died in the desert — was denounced last night by Armed Forces minister Adam Ingram.
He said: “There is a world of difference between being anti-war and inciting war against British troops.
“Are there no depths to which George Galloway will not sink? I am sure such disgraceful comments will be rightly condemned the length and breadth of this country.”
Galloway also accused Mr Bush and Mr Blair of lying about the expected duration of the war.
He said: They have lied to the British Air Force and Navy when they said the battle of Iraq would be very quick and easy.
They attacked Iraq like wolves. They attacked civilians. They encountered resistance from Iraqi forces and Iraqi people who are defending their dignity, religion and country.
According to Tony Blair’s lie machine, they said the war would only last for six days.
The war will continue. I don’t believe these wolves will be able to enter Baghdad and occupy Iraq.
They must know this is the beginning of a long war of liberation to be staged by the Iraqis against the occupying forces. They must understand they are in the Iraqi quagmire and it will not be easy for them to get out.
He added: “It is better for Blair and Bush to stop this crime and this catastrophe. It is time for them to return to the UN Security Council and give diplomacy a chance to settle this chaos.”
Galloway tore into Arab rulers who have allowed coalition forces to use their land.
He raged: “God curse them for their crimes. They will be tried by their peoples.”
The fawning MP, whose political career has been dogged by financial and sexual scandals, recently wrote an admiring piece about Saddam after visiting the dictator in his bunker.
He described how Saddam met him, “glancing shyly downwards as I strode towards him”.
And in a mind-boggling view of the mass murderer, he said: “He has a gentle handshake and is surprisingly diffident.”
In 1994, during a visit to Baghdad, Galloway presented Saddam with a pennant from Palestinian youths in Israeli-occupied territories.
YOU can tell George Galloway what you think of his treachery by emailing him at galloway@parliament.uk. You can also phone him on 020 7219 4048 or write to his constituency office at 8a Parkgrove Terrace, Glasgow G3 7ST.

(a moderate message from CarZee the moderator
) The Sun is the price we pay for a democratic press and freedom of speech, ain't it, CarZee?
Edited to say, from nubbin (moderator)
apache said:personally he makes me feel ashamed
Yes. Its quite different being pro-peace, anti-war and a traitor.
Pro-peace: Attempting to fix the problem before it gets to fighting.
Anti-War: Not being in favour of fighting unless its to defend.
Traitor: Actively anti one's own people.
I think he should resign immediately at a minimum if he really said what's reported...

I read every national newspaper every morning (I have to, I don't choose to). Having met the erudite Mr Kavanagh on several occasions, I'd venture to suggest that he is one of the top three political columnists in this country today. Even if he does work for the Sun.
We disagree then, Nubbin - The Sun is the price we pay for the stupidity of the general public and the blind rapacity of capitalism.

Oddballs like Galloway are the price of democaracy & free speech.
Edited to say I don't disagree with you Mon Ami, and perhaps if he wrote for a paper that I might read rather than wipe my arse on, he'd command respect from me, but while he's spewing bellicose jingoistic clichés spun for morons in white vans and facist cabbies he can go feck himself as far as I'm concerned.

I also saw this two faced ignorant pr**k on Five today.
I've got friends and relatives out in Iraq and Kuwait currently fighting. My Uncle is in the Navy, a friend I used to work with is in the Marines and was involved in the first wave of assualts.
This loud mouthed, outspoken, ignorant T**T needs a dose of reality. If he feels so strongly, why doesn't he pack his bags and go out there and help the Iraqis defend Bagdad. People like this should be stripped of their citizenship and deported to the countries they profess to have sympathy for. Once he realises he can't open his fat mouth over in Iraq without the fear of having his tongue cut out, he'll soon be wishing he had never said a word.
On the other hand, send him down to Plymouth for a weekend and see how long it takes for someone to kick the s**t out of him.
I will definately be writing to him, asking him the FCUK OFF to Iraq.

He has always been a complete 
ing idiot; pea-brained, anti-everything except self-serving leftist utopian bollocks. But I truly didn't think he'd ever go as far as this. He must be mad. I always assumed his self-interest ultimatley controlled what he said.
Oh well, withdraw the whip, de-select him, kick him out of the party, burn his constituency offices, put scorpions in his (empty) jock strap...

CarZee said: why is the Sun the only paper reporting this?
I've looked at the Grauniad, the Indypedant, the Torygruff, ThisisLondon and The Times. Not another mention of Galloway.. very odd..
(as pointed out to me by Mrs Zee...)

I found this on the BBC news site http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/2905343.stm
After hearing him on Radio 2 confirming (and defending) the points in the article above I sent this :

Mr Galloway,
I consider your recent comments about the war in Iraq to be offensive at best, treacherous at worst. Inciting opposition against our Armed Forces is unforgivable.
If you feel so strongly about the Iraqis duty to defend their corrupt, murderous regime, why don’t you go to Baghdad and assist them?

Here's an idea for these people who feel so strongly about it.
Join the Red Cross, help in any way you can to assist the people of Iraq, fcuk off over there and put your money where your mouth is and stop assuming that just because you scream and shout, stamp your feet and cry, you have the support of the majority of the UK behind you.
Newsflash, we all hate the fcuking war, we all want our boys to come home safely and we all want peace and happiness all over the world, sometimes you have to get off your arse and do something to get it.
The freedom that this **** so blatently abuses was won by people who put their lives on the line.
