It is against your membership agreement to change others posts in this fashion. More childish antics. Almost Galloway'ish

:confused:

I haven't changed anything, what on earth are you talking about? If you think I've done something wrong then complain about it. You seem confused beyond reason and do nothing but engage in random wibbling at me. Sort yourself out, don't keep lying in my direction.

I said he got the interview completely wrong, I am agreeing with you. I don't know who you are arguing with here, but it's not me.

Beyond the whole sexist denigration part, there was the constant encouragement of violence.

Unless you made a mistake in your post by ignoring where he mocked those who "wanted to go the way of Martin Luther King," than my comment is absolutely directed at you.

Hitler was elected in 1933. Does that mean that he had to defend Germany from that Sole Polish Soldier.

"Israeli Aggression" - Explain all the missiles fired by Hamas.

Hamas are legally proscribed as terrorists by the EU and the US.

Of course Israel targets civilians! Do you think they just close their eyes and indiscriminately press the button marked 'fire'?

Even if Hamas does fire rockets from within civilian areas (if that's true, i don' tknow i don't agree with rockets from either side) - firing back at them is still targeting civilians!

The missiles, such as they are, fired by Hamas, while unacceptable, are an act of desperation by people crammed into a tiny slice of land and abused by an aggressor state that has taken their land and is supported by the west almost without question or sanction. It's not even a balanced situation.

The way he phrased his greeting of Sadam, the way he phrased his comments about the Soviet Union and what Assange is supposed to have done is designed to attract publicity. He appears to specialise in denials.

Would you preferred him to rip open his shirt, wave a flag, tie a headband on and punch him in the face singing the star spangled banner?

And even when he is not doing his job as MP, he is not a "peace campaigner or charity fundraiser" either.

He fully supports war, just for the sides that he supports in the wars.

I have never ever heard him say or do anything that supports war. His anti war stance has been perfectly consistent since I first became aware of it to now. How is that supporting war?

Giz said:
Well, there's the photo of him handing wads of cash to the leader of the genocidal Hamas cult... not enough? There's also his speeches lauding the Iraq insurgency (bravely struggling to replace the fledgling Iraqi democracy with a religious totalitarian theocracy).

So if a woman you have slept with falls asleep, it's perfectly ok to start screwing her again while she's asleep?


Wow. Just...jesus.

Galloway said such behaviour is brutish, caddish, unacceptable and that one acting thus is acting with the morals of a rat. He also says little that's favourable in regard to Assange's character, from his position of someone that has never met Assange, which he also admits. So, no he doesn't maintain that such an act is perfectly ok.

Tell that to an Israeli friend of mine (he lives on land illegally annexed from Syria, by the way). Anyway, he was called to the colours as a reservist in the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982. He told me this on a visit back to Scotland to see his sister several years later. I asked, What did you do in the war? In heavy artillery. And what were your duties? I pulled the cord that fired the gun; they can fire a shell for many miles! And what was many miles away that you were firing at? He squirmed in his chair for a while, shrugged, and said : Beirut.

Quite a few civilians were killed there, as I recall seeing reported in the press.

Cool story, bro. Nothing in it is inconsistent with the claim that Israel does not intentionally target civilians.

I note that your friend was not actually involved in intelligence analysis or target selection. Indeed, in your story, your friend wasn't even involved in aiming the artillery or adjusting the fire. So it's only natural that he'd have some vague idea of "Beirut, many miles away" as the target. It's possible he reached some wrong conclusion, based on totally understandable ignorance about what was being targeted, and why.

But that's hardly evidence that Israel intentionally targets civilians.Too bad you don't have any friends with experience in Israeli recon or fire control elements. Even better would be if you were acquainted with an Israeli field commander who had direct oversight of target identification and selection.

I'm not sure why you thought the second-hand recollections of an artillery trigger-puller from a conflict 30 years ago would be relevant to the discussion.

"First hand recollections" please. He deplored and regretted the things he was involved in. Then came the massacres in the Sabra and Chatilla refugee camps. My friend was on leave in Tel Aviv when these monstrosities occurred, and took part in the huge demonstration of disgust about the conduct of the Lebanon war that took place in protest against this slaughter of civilians.

But still he lives in illegally annexed Syrian territory. Or doesn't Israel illegally annex, occupy and settle territory? Will you deny even that the Zionists do that?

Q: What did you think of George Galloway's comments last week? <detail>

A: -snip-I don't want to call him and idiot, but...


you might have lost the bet though, it took him a while. though while googling I think I saw a reference to him having come out in support of them before

is there a medical term for his compulsion? I mean the Palestinian territories are one thing, but afaik North Korea is basically a horror cribbed from 1984 and probably vies with the DRC as 'country one would least like to be born into as an average citizen'?

I knew Gorgeous George would get around to supporting North Korea,it was only a question of how long.
Let's face it, Georgie Boy will support ANY lunatic regime if it is anti American.

His version of the first Korean war is so incredbly stupid as to make the mind boggle. But his supporters will eat it up....

This, from the Huff article, is designed no doubt to please his Muslim entourage of supporters.
Galloway reiterates that he would not "like to live in North Korea". "Not least because they certainly don’t believe in God in North Korea,” he continued.

Does YHWH have hair to cut, I wonder. If so, who cuts it? BTW he does have at least one hand, and back parts. See exodus 33:
23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

Galloway: Don't you dare try to place responsibility for that on me. I am the person who if listened to we would not have been in this mess. We wouldn't be in Iraq. It should be me accusing you not you accusing me.

True. We wouldn't be in Iraq, but the Hussein family would still be there, all de-sanctioned, oil-rich, still paying $25,000 a head for suicide bombers and replenishing their WMD stocks.

But still, we wouldn't be in this mess. We'd be in a whole different mess. Galloway's mess. But not Galloway himself. He'd be riding tall in the saddle, sneering down on all of you, collecting regular retainer payments from old Saddam. or Uday, or Kusay, or whatever psychopath would be in charge now.

Georgie Boy has his hypotheticals. I have mine.
 
Most things Galloway says, having never met him nor known him persionally (and why/how would I, he isn't my MP), I agree with. Even his comments regarding the Assange rape case are constantly misrepresented or painted hysterically.

He may be an utter tosser, I don't know. I 'm not reallyc omfortable making that judgement when the only criticism I ever hear comes from questionable sources and uses the same tired 'he's the MP for baghdad south' crap that's years out of date.

I haven't seen his comments regarding the Assange rape case. Do you have a cite for the comments you have in mind?
