George Galloway Lauds Syria's Dictator, Hezbollah, and Iraqi Terrorists

By Andrew Cochran

British MP George Galloway is nothing if not explicit in his support for and work with terrorists and killer dictators, including taking Oil-for-Food funds from Saddam Hussein for his favorite "charity." MEMRI has caught him at it again, this time traveling to Damascus to praise the dictator of Syria, Bashar Al-Assad (maybe Georgie is looking for new sources of cash in case he gets prosecuted for lying to the U.S. Congress about his OFF income). He called Assad "the last Arab ruler, and Syria is the last Arab country..." Galloway praised Syria for "the good which she is doing," called the Hezbollah terrorists who kill innocent civilians "the Palestinian resistance," and described the Iraqi terrorists who also bombed three Amman hotels as "the Iraqi resistance." At least now his own countrymen are starting to catch on - there's a new UK blog dedicated to his prosecution.
