UNITED NATIONS — A member of Britain's Parliament who professed support for Saddam Hussein and has clashed with American legislators over his role in the oil-for-food scandal, George Galloway, may face a criminal investigation in Britain after a House of Commons disciplinary committee recommended his suspension for 18 days.
According to one new piece of evidence that emerged from yesterday's 181-page report by the House of Commons's Committee on Standards and Privileges, Mr. Galloway made an apparent request to Saddam that "dues" owed by Iraq to fund his cooperative efforts with the dictator be paid without delay, and that declining oil prices had adversely affected their joint income.

From the Sun article: “In today’s edition, the Telegraph reports that Scotland Yard is ready to “take the first steps toward a possible criminal investigation” against Mr. Galloway.”
The Congressional Democrats and the MSM were enthralled by Galloway’s cute Scottish accent and cute Scottish temper.
Let’s see if Scotland Yard is taken in by the blowhard.

Galloway was a participant in the attempt to resurrect Saddam as a world leader in 2001. See:
MP to defy sanctions with flight to IraqBush interrupted Saddam's return to power. Too bad no one interrupted the rise to power of that other dictator who wanted to wipe out Jews...Adolph Hitler.

Was it from a rope? He's owed something similar for his attempts to help his friend Saddam, the Butcher of Baghdad, stay in power.
