"Senator, in everything I said about Iraq,  I turned out to be right and you turned out to be wrong and 100,000 people paid with their lives;  1600 of them American soldiers sent to their deaths on a pack of lies; 15,000 of them wounded, many of them disabled forever on a pack of lies."
- British MP George Galloway, 17 May 2005 - Statement to US Senate
