let's talk more about the Brewing
International tensions over Syria with
British MP George Galloway on the line
there hi George good evening to you I
imagine you voted against intervention I
guess tell me why I did I uh I spoke in
the debate and I voted against the
intervention and your correspondent in
Washington's resumee of the situation
was pretty perfect not since Napoleon
scarpered from the gates of Moscow in a
sledge being pulled by husky
has a world leader had to make such an
ignominious Retreat uh David Cameron
last night suffered the very first
British government defeat on a matter of
War and Peace since the Crimean War in
the 19th century and that's a very long
time ago even in politics was anything
that was said tonight by Obama and by
John kery uh altering your opinion at
all no although I noticed that the
numbers David Cameron was praying in Aid
of his plan of the number of dead killed
in the chemical weapons attack has
multiplied by five times so I don't know
if they didn't share that intelligence
with the British prime minister or
whether for propaganda purposes this
crime for such as it was a very grave
and dastardly crime is now being
multiplied to the power of five uh the
reality is nobody's arguing that the
Syrian regime or indeed any regime faced
with an existential threat to its
existence are not bad enough to use
chemical weapons in their defense the
question is are they mad enough to use
chemical weapons and I insist that it
would be simple Madness indeed a new
definition of Madness for the Syrian
regime which is winning the war and the
Syrian opposition with all its head
cutting and heart eating losing sympathy
all over the world and on the day that a
un chemical weapons Inspection Team
arrived in Damascus for the Assad regime
to launch a chemical weapons attack in
Damascus just half an hour from the
hotel in which the inspectors were boted
I wonder why tonight John Kerry um in in
in his speech said that the full
intelligence report won't be released
surely that would have been the thing to
do to dampen voices like your own well
of course as I was listening to him on
your program there I recalled bitterly
all the high confidence fo confidence
top conference and top secret all the
James Bond speak I recalled it all from
the debates leading up to the war on
Iraq and those of us who were saying
that these are all lies were treated as
either fools or worse by the so-called
mainstream media and political class
here in the world West but we were right
and they were wrong except where they
were deliberately telling us lies which
is of course worse than being wrong if
they are so confident about this
intelligence why don't they publish it
are you surprised briefly that President
Obama still seems to be hesitant about
going forward here with an intervention
he still doesn't seem to have made a
decision apparently well this is George
Bush all over again I'm afraid but this
time without the benefit of their
traditional Ally Britain in Britain in
France in America hardly anyone supports
getting involved in this war as
al-qaeda's Air Force hardly anyone at
all President Obama is making a grave
mistake so grave I think he cannot
properly comprehend it by entering into
this war because once he enters into it
it's going to be much more difficult for
him to get out of it British MP George
Galloway thank you for your thoughts on
RT International tonight welcome
