British MP George Galloway, who had the media elite eating out of his hand when he barked at Sen. Norm Coleman's last Oil-for-Food hearing, appeared on Al Jazeera on June 1 and let it fly. Fortunately, the good people of the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) were watching, and they've released an interview transcript and the video of Galloway's appearance. Read below how this toady for terrorists, this lackey for Islamic extremists everywhere, treats the elected leaders of four countries and the entire nation of Israel, and exposes his idiotic ignorance for the economic system that has produced economic growth and jobs for billions around the world over the past two centuries. He doesn't condemn the terrorists who kill innocent civilians around the world, from the Middle East to Madrid, New York City, or Jakarta; nor does he tell the truth about the murderous intentions of the Islamic extremist network. And this is the inspiration of the European left??!!

"Bush, and Blair, and the prime minister of Japan, and Berlusconi, these people are criminals, and they are responsible for mass murder in the world, for the war, and for the occupation, through their support for Israel, and through their support for a globalized capitalist economic system, which is the biggest killer the world has ever known. It has killed far more people than Adolph Hitler. It has killed far more people than George Bush. The economic system which these people support, which leaves most of the people in the world hungry, and without clean water to drink...Ancient freedoms, which we had for hundreds of years, are being taken away from us under the name of the war on terror, when the real big terrorists are the governments of Britain and the United States. They are the real rogue states breaking international law, invading other people's countries, killing their children in the name of anti-terrorism, when in fact, all they're achieving is to make more terrorists in the world, not less, to make the world more dangerous, rather than less. These are our priorities."

UPDATE, 6/28: Thanks to Clinton Taylor for sending me the link to his American Spectator column of May 27, with new evidence of Galloway's unique approach to the truth during his Senate testimony.
