George Galloway vs David Frum
January 21, 2008
George Galloway questions neocon David Frum’s assertions of a supposed Iranian threat. Galloway accuses him of being in the pay of the “Zionist lobby”; as a matter of fact, the neocons are the Zionist lobby.

Frum,the notorious author of the “Axis of Evil” State of the Union Dubya gave in Jan.2002,is a slimy snake- oil salesman with the blood of a million Iraqis and untold millions more displaced civilians on his hands.
Typically the role of Maitliss is to establish complicity with the shyster as soon as he manages to plug his mike in.The BBC is well plugged into the Zionist lobby itself otherwise they would never be giving airtime to such a shyster in the first place.
The easy ride Frum gets courtesy of Maitliss is clearly evident from the questions that go unasked let alone answered.
Frum’s response to Galloway’s charge that he has 1m Iraqi deaths on his hands is to regurgitate the current spin in Washington that there has been progress in Iraq.Evidence not required in the surreal world the corporate news studio has created for viewers.Frum need only make the assertion.
If the war is going so well why has the US bombing of the country increased markedly over recent months? Maitliss never asked.
The level of obsequiousness Maitliss showed Frum descended to doormat level when she suddenly suggested at his prompting that US intelligence sources were gullible in their low estimation of Iran’s warlike intentions.
Neither did Maitliss pose the obvious question re-Frum’s assertion that Iranian gunboats had lately “buzzed” US warships.Wasn’t the same accusation made against N.Vietnam over the wholly fictitious pretext Johnson fabricated in order to reward the vast panoply of arms co.backers who had paid handsomely,and many believe had sitting President JFK removed,in order that he got the Presidency and escalated the Vietnam war in 1964?
The US official account of the Gulf of Hormuz clash was falling apart within days of its original launch, as Maitliss surely knew full well.This didn’t stop Frum from escaping unscathed.
The idea that Frum seemed to believe he could marginalize the man who had laid waste to the US Senate single-handedly is evidence,if it were needed, of the utter detached position such men hold in relation to the vast majority of peaceloving humanity.
George won on points over Frum and his adopted intern, another sad apology for a journalist,we’ve come to expect on Newsnight.
