They're nothing new. This is just Galloway being Galloway. I just wish the media would ignore him. He's a clown who thrives on media attention, but he says nothing particularly new, enlightening or worthwhile. We don't have to jump every time he gives yet another overblown and smarmy speech that's pro-Hamas or pro-"Iraqi insurgents" or whatever.
