1. No link, but

I feel kind of sick to my stomach after watching that. Hitchens' argument is so badly flawed, but I don't remember Galloway really challenging him on obvious things, instead he argued his own points, and relied on insults. For example, Hitchens equates opposition to the occupation with support for bus bombings etc. This wasn't picked apart. He refers to "the fascist insurgency", as if anyone resisting the occupation with violence, necessarily is aligned with anyone who is an enemy of the occupiers in Iraq. And, when Galloway said that the attack on 9/11 was a response to actions of the US, Hitchens responded with the tired assertion, that Galloway is saying that the 9/11 attack was justified. Such simple things to counter, but it wasn't done.

Galloway also seemed to me to come off as noisy and rude, compared to Hitchens. How sad.

2. I hate to bust your bubble, but Galloway got his ass handed to him.

At the risk of starting a flame war, I must say that Galloway has proven himself to be quite the lunatic. This guy practically pledged his support for Saddam and jihad. Hitchens kept slicing his arguments to pieces, but all he did was attack him.

I realize that many of the Left may be inclined to support Galloway. I'm telling you, he's no friend of the Left, and he's not anti-war.

Oh, and you can check the archive at KPFTX.org
