Wonder if any other Labour MPs made the list. Galloway wasn't the only MP sucking up to Saddamn.

And I'd love to know if there were any other Americans on that list...

How the heck could a church (The Russian Orthodox Church received 5 million barrels) receive 5 million barrels of oil? Does someone receive it for them then sell it? I don't get it.... yet anyway. I'm sure some FReeper will know....

A question brought up elsewhere - Iraqi production for 1998 was around 750 million barrels. Is this total (looks like over 2 Billion Barrels) for one year or for several years ?

I well remember- there's plenty in that link to more links at reply #10.

It's just wonderful to see the torrent of information washing over these phonies and frauds. Including Jf'nK...

Sounds like Russia may be in dept to the new Iraq rather than the other way around!

Click here. for an article dealing with Galloway and the accusations. From the link:

Mr Galloway said: "The idea that such documents have, as if to order, come to light just days after the massive assault on Baghdad, the looting and destruction of ministries and government buildings and the chaos in the country, must be treated as highly suspect.

"I have never solicited nor received money from Iraq for our campaign. I have never seen a barrel of oil, never owned one, never bought one, never sold one."

Busted...

"Does someone receive it for them then sell it?"

I presume that’s how it works with every one on the list unless they own a lot of filling stations.
