1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,199
let's talk more about the Brewing

2
00:00:01,439 --> 00:00:05,160
International tensions over Syria with

3
00:00:03,199 --> 00:00:07,040
British MP George Galloway on the line

4
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,639
there hi George good evening to you I

5
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:12,480
imagine you voted against intervention I

6
00:00:09,639 --> 00:00:14,960
guess tell me why I did I uh I spoke in

7
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:17,840
the debate and I voted against the

8
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:21,119
intervention and your correspondent in

9
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:25,279
Washington's resumee of the situation

10
00:00:21,119 --> 00:00:28,080
was pretty perfect not since Napoleon

11
00:00:25,279 --> 00:00:30,800
scarpered from the gates of Moscow in a

12
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:33,920
sledge being pulled by husky

13
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:36,960
has a world leader had to make such an

14
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,840
ignominious Retreat uh David Cameron

15
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,960
last night suffered the very first

16
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:44,160
British government defeat on a matter of

17
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:46,480
War and Peace since the Crimean War in

18
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:49,800
the 19th century and that's a very long

19
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:53,239
time ago even in politics was anything

20
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:56,359
that was said tonight by Obama and by

21
00:00:53,239 --> 00:00:59,120
John kery uh altering your opinion at

22
00:00:56,359 --> 00:01:02,079
all no although I noticed that the

23
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:05,000
numbers David Cameron was praying in Aid

24
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:07,240
of his plan of the number of dead killed

25
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,560
in the chemical weapons attack has

26
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:12,400
multiplied by five times so I don't know

27
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,400
if they didn't share that intelligence

28
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,240
with the British prime minister or

29
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:20,320
whether for propaganda purposes this

30
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:23,240
crime for such as it was a very grave

31
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:27,200
and dastardly crime is now being

32
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:30,400
multiplied to the power of five uh the

33
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:33,640
reality is nobody's arguing that the

34
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:36,000
Syrian regime or indeed any regime faced

35
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:39,200
with an existential threat to its

36
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,240
existence are not bad enough to use

37
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:45,439
chemical weapons in their defense the

38
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:48,159
question is are they mad enough to use

39
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:50,840
chemical weapons and I insist that it

40
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:53,399
would be simple Madness indeed a new

41
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:56,360
definition of Madness for the Syrian

42
00:01:53,399 --> 00:01:58,719
regime which is winning the war and the

43
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:02,360
Syrian opposition with all its head

44
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:05,119
cutting and heart eating losing sympathy

45
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,880
all over the world and on the day that a

46
00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:10,759
un chemical weapons Inspection Team

47
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:13,160
arrived in Damascus for the Assad regime

48
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:15,599
to launch a chemical weapons attack in

49
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:18,440
Damascus just half an hour from the

50
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:21,599
hotel in which the inspectors were boted

51
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,440
I wonder why tonight John Kerry um in in

52
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:25,280
in his speech said that the full

53
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,800
intelligence report won't be released

54
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:30,239
surely that would have been the thing to

55
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,959
do to dampen voices like your own well

56
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:35,440
of course as I was listening to him on

57
00:02:31,959 --> 00:02:38,800
your program there I recalled bitterly

58
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:42,800
all the high confidence fo confidence

59
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:45,920
top conference and top secret all the

60
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,159
James Bond speak I recalled it all from

61
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:50,560
the debates leading up to the war on

62
00:02:48,159 --> 00:02:53,519
Iraq and those of us who were saying

63
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:57,159
that these are all lies were treated as

64
00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:59,280
either fools or worse by the so-called

65
00:02:57,159 --> 00:03:02,000
mainstream media and political class

66
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,440
here in the world West but we were right

67
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,360
and they were wrong except where they

68
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:10,720
were deliberately telling us lies which

69
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,560
is of course worse than being wrong if

70
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,200
they are so confident about this

71
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,120
intelligence why don't they publish it

72
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,280
are you surprised briefly that President

73
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,840
Obama still seems to be hesitant about

74
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,319
going forward here with an intervention

75
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,959
he still doesn't seem to have made a

76
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:27,840
decision apparently well this is George

77
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:30,120
Bush all over again I'm afraid but this

78
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,120
time without the benefit of their

79
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:36,040
traditional Ally Britain in Britain in

80
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:38,239
France in America hardly anyone supports

81
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,200
getting involved in this war as

82
00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:44,319
al-qaeda's Air Force hardly anyone at

83
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:47,480
all President Obama is making a grave

84
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:50,200
mistake so grave I think he cannot

85
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,519
properly comprehend it by entering into

86
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,200
this war because once he enters into it

87
00:03:52,519 --> 00:03:56,840
it's going to be much more difficult for

88
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,239
him to get out of it British MP George

89
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:03,000
Galloway thank you for your thoughts on

90
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:03,000
RT International tonight welcome
