European pols implicated in UNSCAM

We knew this was coming:
A US Senate report says two senior politicians from the UK and France were granted potentially lucrative oil allocations by Saddam Hussein's Iraq.

It says British MP George Galloway and former French minister Charles Pasqua were given the right to buy oil under the UN's oil-for-food scheme.
Something to add to the list of George Galloway's defining character traits: anti-Semite, anti-American, pro-Saddam, terrorist sympathizer, and now, traitor to the crown. Oh, and he's modest to:
"I have never traded in a barrel of oil," said Mr Galloway, formerly a Labour member of parliament but re-elected as an independent MP last week after campaigning against the Iraq war.

"This is a lickspittle Republican committee, acting on the wishes of George W Bush."
My, don't we have an awfully high opinion of ourselves. It takes a special kind of egotism to convince a person that the most powerful man in the world gives a shit about his unhinged rantings.
