It’s been more than 20 years since the US and its allies invaded Iraq in what is now widely acknowledged was a war crime based on lies. And yet many of the same perpetrators who pushed those lies and the Iraq invasion remain prominent and respected members of the foreign policy establishment as they today push the Ukraine War.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to British politician and talk show host George Galloway about his principled opposition to the Iraq War.

American military bases are like the British Empire where the Sun never set on any place on Earth they did not control.
I don't know if I support all of what this guy thinks. I don't think he has the future correct. It is not going to be a global world of rainbows and unicorns. Someone will always want to control someone else. Plus he acts like these people in BRICS and such are going g to be kind and just. Nope!! I opposed all of it
😂
Richard Haass (Council on Foreign Relations) is a slimeball who SHILLS for the Corporate Globalists who have COMPLETELY CAPTURED The People’s legitimate U.S. government. We are OWNED, folks! We absolutely MUST reclaim OUR government FOR We, The People.
11:18 Jimmy, on this point in particular, have you thought about the implications of this statement as it relates to the history of war in general? There's a quote I've heard "committing the oldest sins in the newest ways."
This playbook of creating an enemy in order to further an agenda, or to reap monetary profit, is jot a new one. The statement "If this was done in the Iraq war, why makes the Ukraine War different?" is valid. Equally valid is to ask, "If this was done in the Iraq war, what makes Vietnam different? WW2? WW1?" This is a pattern, and every one of these examples deserves a deeper examination.
But, Jimmy… Maybe there’s some "yellow cake" in Ukraine!!! WINK WINK
Just because the have Corporate Globalists bent on world domination within our government… it doesn’t mean the "government" isn’t really a MAFIA… Wink
One of the great moments in world politics in the 21st century was George Galloway fronting up to the Neocons in the U.S. senate and beating them to a pulp with words. Normally after something like that. The neocons hire a hitman to assasinate bump off anyone who dared stand up to them a few months after. Yeah Galloway is a tough guy who has no fear. Got to respect that. Thankfully he is still with us.
THE EYES ARE USELESS WHEN THE MIND IS BLIND 👀🤔🙏
JUST LIKE THAT FAKE WHITE POWDER IN AMERICAN CONGRESS DURING BUSH….AND PEOPLE IN IRAQ VERIFIED THAT MISSION ACCOMPLISHED WAS IRAQIS KNEW WAS STILL AT IT .THERE…..AMERICA WAS LIED TOO THE WORLD…ALSO SOLDIERS WITH HIGH RANKIING ONES IN IRAQ .. THAT CLEARED PLACES OUT IN PEPERATION IN IRAQ ..BEFORE .SOLDIERS. .CAME TO FIGHT IRAQIS.. THEY BLIEVED THE LIE .BUT BUT NOT SO MUCH TIME LATER..DID THEY KNEW THEY WERELIED TOO …IVE NEVER HEARD TILL NOW OF MR GALLOWAY ..SO THIS SPEAKS MORE OF THEIR LIES..YA NOTICE BOTH TIMES NOW WITH THE UKRAINE WAR.A BLACK GENERAL IS PUT IN. FRONT..THEY ARE BEING USED AS PAWNS SO THAT THE BLACK COMMUNITIES GIVE THEIR VOTES …ALSO I TRAVELED TO CENTRAL MEXICO .TO SEE MY KIDS FAMILY..THE POOR PART ..RIGHT AFTER 9.11 IN 2002 THOSE FOLKS TOLD ME IT WAS OVER OIL .I FELT LIKE THEY KNEW NOTHING AT THAT TIME …. THEY ARE CORRECT..AS WELL ..
A Scotsman and an Irish woman, who appear to be brave enough to confront the liars, keep up the good work Jimmy.
It’s going to be really, really PAINFUL when that over-extended empire snaps back on us, folks! At that time, we MUST have OUR revenge on the Corporate Globalists, WHEREVER they scatter off to! And we MUST have REPARATIONS for their massive treachery!
I remember when George was barred from entering Canada and I wasn’t well informed, because of the lies in mass media, now I see he is a man of courage and I have respect for him.
I believe that the Iraqis did want to be liberated. They just didn’t see the consequences that followed that. Many Iraqis were terrorized by Sadam
English EBS quite prominent in the news, oooohhhhh, wonder why. A brandon visit might be a clue.
Dirty rotten sacks of excrement, the evil sh!ts can't even dye with dignity
We all know the council on foreign relations runs the planet. Should be blown into the wind in a thousand pieces! ❤
It may be going a bit too far to say “the monsters are fading.” We’ve messed up and I want us to focus internally not externally but I wonder how we will all like things under another/ other superpowers.
MY FATHER AND HIS TWIN BROTHER WAS DRAFTED IN TO WORLD WAR 2 .IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC NEW GUINNIA..THEY WERE OUT IN 1945 ..HE WAS BORN IN 1926 .ME 1966.

URANIUM .DEPLETED IN IRAQ..WOW WHATS IN UKRAINE. SOMTHIN.AND MORE.
Very well said indeed Mr Galloway, I am a great admirer. Thank goodness for some voices of sanity amidst the mindless bleating of the warmongers. Propped up by the "media" (i.e. propagandists just repeating CIA and government talking points). I am an American, but feel pride only in people, my fellow citizens, who speak out against these wars that serve the interests of a few and destroy the lives of so many innocents. I share the hope that more Americans wake up, as in the 1960s. Shame on the warmongers who populate the seats of political power, unfortunately … their pockets full of money coming from the military industrial complex.
George Galloway will go to his grave knowing his sweetest music was actually played…and he will hear those famous words…well done, good and faithful servant
That pisses me off when good people are talking to Congress and Senate and they set up there on their thrones acting like they are looking at something important instead of looking and listening to the person that is speaking they are scumbags
What did she say? I was distracted
We sure liberated the Iraqi people by giving them radiation striken babies.
I wonder if that Oprah viewer is as aware now as she was then.
Fake Word 👉 "Democracy" 👈 Fake Word
Daly looking good!
I loved his speech, it should be shared everywhere !!!
The Irish have courage !!!
Go Claire & GG.
Fucking great !!!
The sad part is the sheep will believe it all again.
Haass is a moron, Mossad did the attacks on 9/11 with CIA help 😡😡😡
They all follow the same line. Russia is waiting for them.
Excellent show jimmy bravo 👏 thank you
Donbass was always the goal to help Russian speaking Ukrainians since 2014 coup.
1st RAPTURE-READY
Iraq happened because Afghanistan happened, Afghanistan happened because of 9/11, 9/11 happened because the neocons of PNAC, plus the oil barons, plus the banksters plus’s the compliant republicans and democrats, plus the compliant media, plus’s Israel all decided projecting US military dominance across every corner of the globe would be a good thing.
Jimmy and employees, when you’re ready to have a top 9/11 Truther on to educate you on physics and what really happened and why then I’ll believe you really want to dig down to truth, until then you appear to me to be pretending to expose truth but are making sure you don’t piss off the real global powers.
Sanctioned countries will and have united👍
War will come in our lifetime, caused by the executive psychopaths!
America is the 2nd beast in revelation that rose out of the earth had two horns like a lamb but spoke as a dragon
There’s another way to pronounce The New York Times. When you figure it out you will understand why Judith Miller and her bosses lied us into war.
It's not only mortifying that we're listening to the same monsters… these people keep electing the same monsters that keep committing genocide in our names.
Great 👍👌👏👏
The United States DOESN'T OWE reparations for Iraq. Those who pumped the lies for the warmongers do. The media, the celebrities, the politicians and corporations need to expend all their wealth.
Lot of Evil Peoples 😈😈😈
Lies are more deadly than nuclear bombs.
Speaking of being able to string together a sentence or two, as George Galloway humbly admitted to, you guys should look into Huey Long for an American example. He gets a bad rap generally in US media because Father Coughlin was one of his followers until he died before he morphed into a ranting anti-semite and pro-fascist, and because the Republicans have never forgiven him fior being a Socialist and the Democrats have never forgiven Huey Long for defeating them in Louisiana and breaking their stranglehold on that state. There's not much recording of his speeches available, but what there is is amazingly radical and explicitly class-struggle flavoured.
