"Speaker of the People's Assembly Dr. Mahmoud al-Abrash on Sunday discussed with Member of the British House of Commons George Galloway the current situation in the region and the Syrian firm principles stance vis-à-vis the regional issues. Mr. Galloway stressed that the speech delivered by President Bashar al-Assad on Thursday was welcomed by all the honest around the world, adding that his speech was that of a man who refuses subordination and believes in independent decisions and full Arab rights. The British parliamentarian stressed importance of activating the Syrian and Arab media in confronting the Anti-Syrian flow of information as well as the importance of dialogue in clarifying the Syrian stance."

One wonders what Galloway has been offered for this opinion. Or if his comments here are on spec with the hope of reward later.

Galloways M.O. seems to be the same each time - take an internationally isolated despot, offer up a few sound bites praising the regime to get to a decision maker and then offer a "conduit to the West" in return for funding of his campign on their behalf.

Assad, because of international condemnation over the assasination of Hariri, falls squarly into Galloways "target market" of internationally isolated despots. An advocate in the anti-war movement would be a good hedge bet for Assad at the moment. One wonders what he is prepared to offer in return.
