You would think, at some point, it would dawn on these guys that giving Galloway any kind of a public forum is not their best strategy. This is not the first time they've tried to tee off on him, and every time he pastes them one in the chops.

In a speech in the Middle East, Mr Galloway said: "These poor Iraqis - ragged people, with their sandals, with their Kalashnikovs, with the lightest and most basic of weapons - are writing the names of their cities and towns in the stars, with 145 military operations every day, which has made the country ungovernable.

"We don't know who they are, we don't know their names, we never saw their faces, they don't put up photographs of their martyrs, we don't know the names of their leaders."

But he told BBC News he had not called insurgents or the Iraqi resistance martyrs.

The problem was they were killing people and he wanted to stop the bloodshed by withdrawing US and UK troops.
