From the Late Late Show, Eamonn Delaney editor of Magill takes on George Galloway (the exchange starts at around 9 minutes in) By any standards Delaney gets trounced and loses the crowd (again). You have to wonder why, if Delaney fashions himself as the champion of the invasion of Iraq, is he so ill prepared for such an encounter? Is he really the best they can come up with back at Castle Greyskull?

If you are interested in US support for Saddam have a look at these documents about Donald Rumsfeld's meeting with Saddam. The documents ( which are all declassified US Government documents obtained by George Washington University under the freedom of information act)show that during this period of renewed U.S. support for Saddam, he had invaded his neighbor (Iran), had long-range nuclear aspirations that would "probably" include "an eventual nuclear weapon capability," harbored known terrorists in Baghdad, abused the human rights of his citizens, and possessed and used chemical weapons on Iranians and his own people. The U.S. response was to renew ties, to provide intelligence and aid to ensure Iraq would not be defeated by Iran, and to send a high-level presidential envoy named Donald Rumsfeld to shake hands with Saddam (20 December 1983).
