Associated Press report via fox:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,85070,00.html
It really is intersting how sincerely some of these staunch anti-war politicans care so deeply for the iraqi people and their safety.. :rolleyes:
I cant think of any way this kind of behavior, treason?, can be justfied?
-
Galloway pissed Murdoch ?
-
Nice try straffo, but no good.
Its an ASSOCIATED PRESS report... You lefties cant make excuses for that traitor by saying it was a fox news story.. :p
And how do you dispute the documents found in the iraaqi intelligence headqurters that show payments to this man?
-
I guess the AP report is coming from the Sun article ?
And if I'm leftie your a go-go dancer :p
-
Galloway has always been a retard. This is no surprise. Also, he doesn't represent the whole of the anti-war movement.
Secondly, several businessmen have been playing on his name in Iraq ever since his high profile visit there in '99. We'll see if he wins his libel case - he's won all his others.
So, in summary, he's a bit of a nob but this is old news.

So people allready knoew he was being paid off by Iraq to the tune of $10,000,000? And that he was still on Saddam's payroll right up to the war.. Why was he not kicked out from the government?

Thete is no "Sun" article. You know straffo I dont know why you are trying to make excuses for this traitor, its really shameful of you... But wait, you're French, ahh never mind..
:rolleyes:

A typical gogo dancer answer.
Btw I agree I made an error it was an article from the Telegraph.
You don't find strange how fast such a paper can be found and used ?

Straffo you communist squeak ! I knew it, driving yaks turned you into a Stalinist !
lol these guys don't have a clue this is funnier every day !
-
And there was a report from the christian science monitor.
I just dont undersstand why you have this bizzare need to defend an obviously corrupt traitor - hell even dowding didnt feel the need to...
It's gotta be because you are french, doesnt it? Your country sure knows how this traitor game works... :)
-
You got me wrong : I don't want to defend this guy, I never heard of him before yesterday and I don't give a **** of what can happen to a british MP.
But I question the validity of the clue found (a bit conveniently) by a journalist of a newspaper from the other political side (if I'm not mistaken).
and after reading that :
It's gotta be because you are french, doesnt it? Your country sure knows how this traitor game works...
I've only one answer :
Gogo dancer !!
Gogo dancer !!
Gogo dancer !!
Gogo dancer !!
yada yada ;)
I know it's childish but I'm a child myself (*) :)
(*) otherwise I won't spend so many time playing AH ....

"But I question the validity of the clue found (a bit conveniently) by a journalist of a newspaper from the other political side (if I'm not mistaken."
Isnt this why we have a free press? Or do you only want the official party line. And these arent mere clues by one paper they are serious documented evedinvce of a long term financial relationship between this British anti-war offiacial and the Iraqi government found by multiple unrelated independant sources... This is scandalous.
Trying to question the sources and painting them as unreliable or liers is defending the guy...
Why?
-
You want an honest answer ?
To piss you :D
I know I'm a naughty boy :p
Have a bad night now ;)
(It's a morning joke,I'm having my 1st café of the day I'm just warming up)

He's not 'in government'. He's a backbench MP and Labour rebel. He's an enemy of Blair.
He's always been a outspoken supporter of Saddam - that's what I meant by old news.
Generally speaking, before a democratically elected member of parliament loses his seat, he has to be found guilty of a crime that would make his position untenable, or at least proven to be involved in a scandal that would have the same effect. I think that's the proper way to proceed. If he's proven guilty of fraud (which is the allegation - via his charity dealings), then fair enough. But until that time, however much I might dislike him, it would be undemocratic to do otherwise.
-

Don't be ridiculous. Checking the reliability of evidence is a cornerstone of judicial procedure. How else would you want it? Anyone can make a claim and it is automatically believed?
-
One thing is trying to veryify sources, its a different matter to just say out of hand the sources are lying. Surely you see that?
-
Have I said that? I'm the one asking for judicial process - it's YOU that is asking for the guy to be stripped of his democratically awarded status without any detailed scrutiny of the allegations or the evidence that has been presented to support them.
Instantly holding the sources to be accurate only days after they were discovered is a little premature.
-
I did not initally ask that he be removed, hell I dont think I ever asked that he be removed at all.
This is what I said:
"So people allready knoew he was being paid off by Iraq to the tune of $10,000,000? And that he was still on Saddam's payroll right up to the war.. Why was he not kicked out from the government?"
And I only said that after you said this was all common knowledge.
So again my question is, if it is common knowlege that he took this money and if it is proven by these Iraqi documents why should he not be removed from government? Or does anyone think that its ok for a british MP be on payroll of foreign enemy government?
-
I didn't say it was common knowledge he was being paid - I was referring to the fact that he is a pro-Saddam campaigner.
If it was proven, then of course he should be stripped of his MP status and criminal charges applied. But I don't see any mention of the conculsion of a criminal trial or even an investigation. Until that time, we have laws and procedure that should be followed.
-
Here is more detail, looks like he is getting investigated by the police and this is becoming a scandal.

well, every single one of us, no exceptions, was born with traitor's genes, bad hygiene, a beret and a baguette and that ridiculous accent...
it's some sort of curse, really, much like your ability to only see the world in black or white...

What? A politician took money? Next, you'll claim he was qued up begind Dick, Bush, and Colin at the Enron till. (Dick, Bush, and Colin? Hmmm. Somethings stinks in this regime.)

It is by many democrats and liberals here in the US, especially if directed towards a Republican....it's because democrats and liberals are mostly kids and still have some maturing to do.
-
lol Rude. As if conservatives aren't above that kind of thing.
-
Is lobbying illegal in England? If not this may very well be legal.
Lobbyists are supposed to identify themselves as lobbyists, not work covertly.

Yeah, that's why the hordes of Liberals believed Rush Limbaugh when he said he had proof Clinton was a murderer, and believed that Clinton killed Vince Foster, and believed that Clinton's land deals were intentionally dirty despite the failure of a 50 million dollar investigation to prove such.
Oh wait, those were Conservatives.
:rolleyes:
-
If this story is true (and it will be most likely) what does it tell us?
Politicians can be corrupt. So what?
Mr. Bush & his Black Gold Team got got several million $$ from the oil industrie to be successful in gettin on the chair :D
And he was.....
Regards Blitz
America was threatened by Iraq in no way, it was just plain rediculous

So by dismmissing these revelations you are styating its ok for politicans to be paid millions of dollars by a foreign enemy government... I'll remember you said that...

OMG, please, please, please, don't remember I said that! I'm running for KING OF THE WORLD AND MASTER OF ALL I SURVEY next week and it could really keep me from getting all the funds I'll need.
Serially, you should really bone up on reading comprehension. Or drop the Bush/Rush style twist on what folks say.
-
No arfann. You were trying to dismiss this case just as if it were any sort of corporate influence peddling - it is not.
I will just remember that you think its ok that government officials get paid millions of dollars by enemy govermnets during a time a of crisis with their country. I think it speaks volumes about your character.
-
looks like shades of Serbian Unity Congress to me..

Dismiss? Hardly. But it's all the same. I think it speaks volumns about your character that you think it's ok for politicos to accept money for favors from big business. Probably what got us into this belligerent illegal war anyway. Big contracts to rebuild what we destroyed, and to rebuild our arsenals.
-
Back in ‘99 during Allied Force, there was an lobbying outfit called the Serbian Unitity Congress. Several of their associates were often featured on various talk shows. They openly admit on their web page that they would provide funding to politicians that spoke in favor of Serbia. I thought it was pretty shocking at the time same as Grun is outraged now. When Tom Delay was asked about why he was accepting bribes from these folks, he said that since the US had not declared war on Serbia, these funds were legal.
-
I'm not Serbian 10Bears, but I have no doubts that they would do it. I did not hear about this incident in 2000. But can you say the SUC is an official part of the serbian government or merely an open private interest lobbying organization? Surely if they are just another open lobbying group then you caould see the difference between that and a case where this official is getting paid $10,000,000 by the iraqi government. Even you yhave to admit this something different entirely.
Arfann corporate lobboying is different than taking bribes from a foreign enemy government during a time of crisis. But if you dont think this kind of treason is problematic then thats your issue. It just shows me how your fanatical hatred for the USA is clouding your judgement to where anything that in any way goes counter to US or slights US interests, like a british govt official being on saddams payrol, is acceptable.
Gscholz the last recorded payment to him was just in January this year, and I'm sure you remember that by this time US and British warplanes were ingaging in daily combat for years with iraqi forcesin the no fly zones. So yes I think we can say that he was being paid by the irai government during a time of war. And even if it wasnt war, do you think its acceptable that he was accepting covert multi million dollar payments from a foreign enemy government?
-
But there is a difference between open lobbying and secretly getting $10,000,000 from a foreign enemy government during a time of crisis and combat, you gotta admit that.. And its a moot point anyway, he is now being investigated by british police - apparently they think there is something illegal in what he did...
I'm just shocked at what some of the anti-war crowd seems to find acceptable. So many of them here and elsewhere cry wildly of nebulus and yet unseen ways they think bush might profit from this war and how this proves he is evil but when solid hard evidence shows up of one of their own ilk profiting to the tune of $10,000,000 directly from saddams government - all is fine for them, not a peep of outrage or that famous superior moral indegance they have worn so garrishly on their shoulders during our discussions of this war.

how can anyone diss the sun... when it has page 3! (http://www.page3.com) mmmm jakki degg

Grunherz is not even a real american.
U can see it on his posts everyday he trieing to prove it on the BBS.
Spitting on every non american
With his slavic look people in the US might think he is a moslim.
But here on this BBS he can redirect that attention to other europeans.
Grunherz was never born in the USA
And we all know it
Grunherz is not real that is his problem
just a thought
-
You dont understand america one bit BUG, its not where you are born, its a mindset.. All around the world there are americans, in all countries and continents - and millions find their way home every year and have done so for centuries.
So a big to america, and a big to you...
Now that I'm finished with that, tell me do you have any thoughts about this british politican who took $10,000,000 in bribes from saddam hussein?

I know it will seem un-American to not feel the need to butt in regarding other country's problems, but the Brits will, I'm sure, deal with the situation under their own political and legal system. On the other hand, Dubya and his greedy cohorts are our problem to be voted out as soon as possible.
