Galloway's Great Quotes

I'm not quite sure what to make of George Galloway, a maverick British member of Parliament, when he testified before a Senate committee and said that the committe's charges that Saddam Hussein's government had given him the rights to buy 20 million barrels of oil to sell at a profit were "utterly preposterous"... but I do know what to think of his great oneliners that turned the tables on his accusers in a heartbeat: FABULOUS. Forget the fact the US backed illegal oil deals under Saddam, but we love to sweep our own transgressions under the rug. The quotes? Here they are: 1. "Senator, in everything I said about Iraq, I turned out to be right and you turned out to be wrong and 100,000 people paid with their lives; 1600 of them American soldiers sent to their deaths on a pack of lies; 15,000 of them wounded, many of them disabled forever on a pack of lies." 2. "I told the world that Iraq, contrary to your claims did not have weapons of mass destruction." 3. "I told the world, contrary to your claims, that Iraq had no connection to the atrocity on 9/11 2001." 4. "I told the world, contrary to your claims, that the Iraqi people would resist a British and American invasion of their country and that the fall of Baghdad would not be the beginning of the end, but merely the end of the beginning." That's one Scotsman w/a set of brass ones.
