Galloway speaks to the media after arriving Monday at Dulles International Airport outside Washington.
(CNN) -- British Parliament member George Galloway will face his accusers when he testifies Tuesday before a U.S. Senate panel probing the U.N. oil-for-food program in Iraq.
Galloway is due to appear before the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which stated in a report last week that deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein granted him vouchers for 20 million barrels of oil between 2000 and 2003.

Galloway is scheduled to appear late Tuesday morning in Washington as the final witness in a hearing that begins at 9:30 a.m. ET.

Galloway, 51, who met with Saddam several times in the 1990s, has been a leading critic of British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his alliance with U.S. President George Bush in the war with Iraq. He was re-elected on an anti-war platform earlier this month.

A new report from Democrats on the Senate subcommittee concludes the United States ended up with a majority of the oil lifted from Iraq after vendors paid illicit surcharges of 10 cents to 30 cents a barrel to Saddam.

The Democratic report found Bayoil shipped a lot of oil allocated to a company called Italtech run by Augusto Giangrandi, a sometime Florida resident with dual Chilean-Italian citizenship.

Georgie is coming to lie..terrific!
"It's Mr. Coleman who's been all over the news and he's a lick-spittle, crazed neocon who is engaged in a witch hunt against all those he perceives to have betrayed the United States in their plan to invade and occupy Iraq," Galloway told Associated Press Television News.
I triple dare Mr. Galloway to use this kind of invective to Sen. Coleman's face.
Good lord! This could REALLY be a great day for laughs.
I love Norm Coleman!
good one , ... yeah , we're awash with bolshevik liars spouting the latest "snappy byte"
I plan on doing a lot of "cleaning" right around this bonus room with the TV and computer. I am NOT missing this one!
I guess no one clued Galloway on how our Senate Hearings work huh??
This might be like a Jerry Springer Version of Mr. Smith goes to Washington
We had a lot of Galloway threads before and during the war's beginnings...It will be a show.
You are going to have the cleanest bonus room anywhere. And I must say you are a very talented multi-tasker. Vacuuming, dusting, watching TV, and FReeping all at once!
-MP George Galloway- voice cries "peace," hand in Saddam's till...--
I'm clearing the decks here. My car will just have to wait yet another day to be inspected!
[in a quiet voice] haapppy buurrp day 2 U , ,...how were those King Crab legs I had flown in??
Done.
Oh, YOU sent me the Alaskan King crab legs? Absolutely delicious, and with plenty of drawn butter too. Thank you dear. *wink*
They have carside service ..
Woohoo .. Dinner will be ready tonight!!
Dang. He really did show up..
I believe that Galloway is on Tony Snow Show tomorrow. IIRC.
Thanks! Must See TV today!
so , right now CSPAN Wendy Long of the Judicial Confirmation Network[our side?] just repeated "minority rights" when refering to Senate RATS , I wish there was a different way to state that , the bolsheviks shout that phrase to rouse the rabble ,...oops they're done
How does this hearing work? Is it a question and answer session driven by the panel or will Galloway get to speechify? You will regret it if the latter, he has a motormouth.
