WMD's- none to be found.
Saddam- nowhere to be seen.
BUT evidence against George Galloway: Found!
One of the biggest lefty thorns in Tony Blairs side has been cited in documents found in Iraq.
The establishment HATE Galloway, who has successfully sued UK newspapers eight times in the last 10 years for libel, and made a personal fortune in the process.

Labour MP George Galloway has denied claims in a newspaper that he received money from Saddam Hussein's regime and has threatened to sue for libel.
The Daily Telegraph says Iraqi intelligence documents found in Baghdad suggested Mr Galloway received £375,000 a year from an oil for food programme.
But Mr Galloway has strongly denied soliciting money from the Iraqi regime and dismissed the official Iraqi letter as a possible forgery or as having been doctored to discredit him.
The MP for Glasgow Kelvin told the paper it was "preposterous" to suggest his campaigning activities were funded by the Iraqi dictator.
Speaking from his holiday home in Portugal, he told the BBC the Telegraph's allegations were "libellous" and said he would instruct his lawyers to begin legal proceedings against the paper.
The left-wing MP has been outspoken in his opposition to the US-led military action in Iraq.
The Telegraph said the documents it based its article on were found by one of its journalists in the foreign ministry in Baghdad.
In a statement, Mr Galloway said the documents must be either forged or doctored.
He said: "I have never solicited nor received money from Iraq for our campaign against war and sanctions.
"I have never seen a barrel of oil, never owned one, never bought one, never sold one."
He said the paper's claim he had met Iraqi intelligence officials was incorrect "to the best of my knowledge".
"Given that I have had access over the years to Iraq's political leadership, most often the deputy prime minister Tariq Aziz, I would have absolutely no reason to be meeting with an official of Iraqi intelligence."
Mr Galloway said he had not seen the documents because he was out of the country writing a book about Iraq.
"From the way they have been described to me, I can state that they bear all the hallmarks of having been either forged or doctored and are designed to discredit those who stood against the war," he said.
They were part of what he described as a "smear campaign against those who stood against the illegal and bloody war on Iraq and against its occupation by foreign forces".
He continued: "The idea that such documents have, as if to order, come to light just days after the massive assault on Baghdad, the looting and destruction of its ministries and government buildings and the chaos in the country, must be treated as highly suspect."
