Nailing Rumsfeld

British Member of Parliament George Galloway came to the US to testify before a Senate committee to refute charges of corruption in connection with the Iraq oil-for-food program. When attacked for meeting with Saddam Hussein, he not only explained his actions but also nailed Rumsfeld at the same time:

"I have met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met him. The difference is Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns and to give him maps the better to target those guns. I met him to try and bring about an end to sanctions, suffering and war, and on the second of the two occasions, I met him to try and persuade him to let Dr. Hans Blix and the United Nations weapons inspectors back into the country...."
