Blair and Bush deserve jail says Galloway
GEORGE GALLOWAY told a Cuban TV audience today that US President George Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair were "drowning in a wave of bloodshed" and should be sent to jail.
Appearing on the communist government's daily public affairs programme Mesa Redonda (Round Table), Galloway said the American and British leaders should be punished for their roles in the Iraq war.
Galloway did not repeat or address remarks published yesterday by GQ magazine, which reported that he said it would be "morally justified" for an assassin to target Blair for supporting the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq.
The MP, who formed the Respect Party after he was thrown out of the Labour Party for urging British soldiers not to fight in Iraq, also appeared on Wednesday on the programme, alongside Cuban President Fidel Castro.
Galloway praised Castro as a "lion" of world politics and defended him against a Forbes magazine report naming him one of the world's wealthiest rulers.
