British MP Galloway: Americans losing in Iraq and Lebanon is on brink of civil war

British MP (member of parliament) George Galloway told Al Bawaba on Wednesday that the Americans are losing the war in Iraq as he also warned that the forerunners of a civil war are peeking in on Lebanon. He also called on the Lebanese opposition not to transform Lebanon into “a knife in Syria’s back". Galloway also criticized British Premier Tony Blair vehemently for denying the connection between his country’s participation in the invasion of Iraq and the London explosions.

Galloway, who arrived in Amman on a leg of his Middle East tour, said “the Americans are losing the war,” pointing out that the losses they incurred in Iraq since the invasion in April 2003 are approaching the size of their losses during the same period of time during the Vietnam war.

Galloway said that the American army’s announcement yesterday of the death of four of their soldiers in an explosion west of Baghdad brought the total number of deaths to nearly two thousand. Additionally, about ten times that number has been wounded - 10 percent of whom are permanently amputated and/or disabled.

Galloway, who heads the British opposition party “Respect”, said it was unlikely that the US-led foreign forces would withdraw from Iraq in 2005, as indicated by information that purportedly leaked from the British and US Ministries of Defense.

11. Hey, this is the 21st century...

Everybody who's anybody rides in style. Walking is so yesterday.

While the environmentally friendly freedom loving people are marching at the speed of their own feet - despots & tyrants & their facilitators are flying by in high-tech luxurious limousines claiming all the prime real estate.

12. I'd love to see George Galloway come back to the United States

and give the While House hell before a national audience.

9. Lebanon on the Brink of Chaos

That's why Henry Kissinger gave Hafaz Assad the go-ahead to occupy the country in 1976.

13. Losing the war on terror. Don't even think about Pakistan

It's not on the mushroom people's television sets - not while the monster is created - but it will be once the WOT decides a war there is the only solution.

14. I would say that the plan to bring texas style "Democracy"

to the middle east is failing just as anyone with a brain would have expected!

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

15. Beruit Redeaux?

Hasn't that poor town seen enough civil war? Jeez, they're still rebuilding from the last one!

What a sad world this is become under the Amerikan Insurgent Brigade (*bush's Follies)...
