Thursday May 12, 2005 20:51 by mustapha mond - "aint nowt that gets past us you know" - stablity - identity - community.
not everyone's barrel of laughs or cup of tea. but it will work nonetheless.
"Don't you think the British security services would have known I, George Galloway MP, was becoming a billionaire trading in oil and don't you think if they did, they would not have told anybody?"
(speaking by telephone from Portugal)
& so George Galloway begins to defend himself against allegations that the he as a Labour MP for Glasgow accepted vouchers worth 20,000,000 barrels of oil from Saddam Hussein of Iraq.
"at no time, did I contact them by any means, including but not limited to telephone, fax, email, letter, Morse code or carrier pigeon" Ex-Iraqi vice president Taha Yassin Ramadan gave testimony to the committee which stated Mr Galloway received the oil "because of his opinions about Iraq".
Mr Galloway likes Iraq.
Mr Galloway has branded the allegations "absurd", and said he had never traded, or even seen, a barrel of oil in his life.
a barrel of Oil is worth approx 50 dollars.
if the allegations are true, Mr Galloway got vouchers worth 100,000,000 dollars They would have been worth a lot less then, however, as for various reasons Oil is more expensive now.
This is however a lot of cash. It is not however anywhere near the lot of cash missing from US reconstruction funding to Iraq which presently is estimated at between 96 and 100 million dollars, and cough cough _the tip of the iceberg_.
http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=12206
The United States of America's Senate's permanent subcommittee on investigations in Washington has invited Mr Galloway to appear at its May 17 hearing. Which will be entitled " Oil For Influence: How Saddam Used Oil to Reward Politicians and Terrorist Entities Under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Programme."
Committee chairman Norm Coleman has said: "The hearing will begin promptly at 9.30am and there will be a witness chair and microphone available for Mr Galloway's use."
They can not however guarantee that he will be granted a visa.
Mr Galloway's response:-
Book the flights, let's go, let's give them both barrels," He quickly added: "That's guns, not oil."
qouting his spokesman Ron McKay, adding -"assuming we get visas".
fighting stuff.
http://politics.guardian.co.uk/iraq/story/0,12956,1482679,00.html
We have previously examined the rôle that Galloway is to play, as a slightly rebellious, rebel character provoking the shy urdu conspiratorial types to clamour for an end to wicked George and all his minions. And you'll learn all about that checking the archives and useing our search engine for "Galloway".
Now, Do not think for a moment that only British politicians on their slow and nervous first steps to great popularity in the back rooms of shady east london islamic fundamentalism are the only people accused of getting vouchers.
Not a bit of it.
The French are playing their part too-.
Charles Pasqua is a former minister for the interior, and likewise is accused by the USA of accepting vouchers from Saddam, to the value of 5million barrels of Oil. Apparantly Tarek Aziz (isn't it great to read all these old names again) gave Pasqua the vouchers during a state visit to Paris in 1993.
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Pasqua
watch this one. It will surely prove to be more entertaining than the Dider Julia case. Which just like Benedict XVI went from being a really big wiki with lots of interesting facts to a short sanitised wiki the sort your local texan wouldn't feel shameful about knocking on your door and trying to sell your mother (strong language).

PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT the one "key witness" in all this, Mr voucher man himself, Saddam Hussein to be sub-poened to give evidence before The United States of America's Senate's permanent subcommittee on investigations in Washington. don't expect that.
please translate into urdu. and do your bit.
