MP Galloway Urges British Troops to Disobey Orders
(John Deane, Scotsman.com, 1 April 2003)
Anti-war Labour MP George Galloway today defended an interview in which he branded Tony Blair and George Bush as “wolves” for committing the “crime” of military action against Iraq. . . . Mr Galloway today stood by his comments, arguing that the war was illegal – and urged British soldiers to refuse to obey “illegal orders.” . . . Turning his attention to Mr Blair and President Bush, he went on: “They have lied to the British Air Force and Navy when they said the battle of Iraq would be very quick and easy. . . . “They attacked Iraq like wolves. They attacked civilians.” . . . He added: “It is better for Blair and Bush to stop this crime and this catastrophe. It is time for them to return to the UN Security Council and give diplomacy a chance.” . . . The MP rejected suggestions that his interview amounted to an act of treachery. . . . He said: “As for being a traitor, the people who have betrayed this country are those who have sold it to a foreign power and who have been the miserable surrogates of a bigger power for reasons very few people in Britain can understand.” . . . He added: “Given that I believe this invasion is illegal, it follows that the only people fighting legally are the Iraqis, who are defending their country.”
