Two years after the invasion of Iraq, British MP George Galloway and journalist Christopher Hitchens will debate the causes and consequences of the Iraq war at Baruch College in New York City. Moderated by Amy Goodman.

George Galloway is Respect party MP for Bethnal Green and Bow in East London. He recently electrified the United States with his appearance at the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations on May 17, when he turned the proceedings into a condemnation of the war in Iraq. CNN's Wolf Blitzer described Galloway's speech in the Senate as "a blistering attack on U.S. senators rarely heard" in Washington. His new book, out in September, is "Mr. Galloway Goes to Washington" (The New Press).

Christopher Hitchens is a widely published polemicist and frequent radio and TV commentator. He is the author of "A Long Short War," "Why Orwell Matters," "The Trial of Henry Kissinger," and many other books. The London Observer calls him "One of the most brilliant journalists of our time."

This debate is part of a national tour of the United States by George Galloway, "Stand Up and Be Counted: No to War and Occupation." The tour will culminate in Washington, DC, during the anti-war protests on September 24th. For a full list of cities and events, please see the website:

13. Thanks, hiley!

It's great. Very informative. It's also kind of fun to see the occasional in-fighting, but we have to do all we can to get Bush and Cheney out of power BEFORE '08! :hi:

[hiley]

2. Ten bucks says

Hitchens walks off in a huff. He always does that, the daft old tosser.

[hiley]

4. wonder how much hitchens will drink

behorehand?
Poor, Christopher

:sarcasm:

Galloway will destroy him..

[buff2]

5. God,Hitchens is so despicable

One of the most obnoxious,hate filled blathering idiot non journalist I've ever seen. You can't be a real journalist when you're always sticking your own personal views in your reporting. I can't stomach that guy. Typical rightwingnut...always the opposite of what is right and what is the truth. :puke:

[kiki]

7. Have you seen his brother, Peter Hitchens?

Simpering little turd. He looks like - well, he looks like someone who regularly had his ass kicked by Christopher Hitchens as a child, which he probably is. Hates homosexuals because God told him to, stuff like that.

[hiley]

8. I know, he makes my skin crawl.

On a better note..
Laura Flanders is going to interview George Galloway in a while on Randi Rhodes!

[Joe Chi Minh]

18. It's a shame to mock Hitchens on account of his drinking.

If you had been reduced to a position whereby you were doomed to peddle endless falsehoods, wouldn't you feel an overpowering need to anaesthetise your brain all the time?

12. Greg Palast has something to ask Galloway...

WHAT'S LEFT?
GALLOWAY VERSUS HITCHENS; PROGRESSIVES VERSUS OURSELVES
Wednesday Sep 14, 2005
By Greg Palast

Man, it just felt so good watching George Galloway rip Senator Coleman an extra exit hole. In May 2005, you'll remember, while most American politicians were mincing and cowering, the Honorable Member of the British Parliament, George Galloway, told a panel of stunned US congressmen:
"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."

It was one hell of a performance.
