Did the White House Green Light Lockerbie Bomber's Release?
2009-08-29
...The release of the only man convicted murderering 270 innocent civilians stinks. It should result in the toppling of Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Labor government. Surely no one can have confidence in his spineless government.

But the larger question is this: Did Gordon Brown get a green light from the Obama administration to let this convicted murderer go "scot free?" Did the British government even consult with Washington before taking this despicable action?

What does this discreditable affair say about the "special relationship" that has existed for a century between Great Britain and the United States?

We are only seven months into this new administration. The early indications are not good that we have a seasoned and serious team manning the helm of the ship of state. For the sake of the country we all serve, let's pray they learn quickly.

#7  Thanks logi_cal. Yes indeed,'Learning' is for the little people. Barry, his cadre, and minders are the font of all knowing. I agree, this entire affair is unfolding in accordance with very well laid plans.

Not one's to waste a crisis, my fear is that some national or international catastrophe, either contrived or otherwise will prompt them to set the constitution fully aside and leave him and the congress in place indefinately.

#6  Giving this administration any hope of 'learning' presumes they don't know exactly what they're doing thus far; it is both naive & hopeful thinking from a network that has lost my confidence.

WM made my point a little clearer, but the learning message I segued to was to those that still 'hope' this guy will get it right and want to 'give the man a chance'. If they have half a brain, they'll understand and vote accordingly in '10. If they don't, then this country will likely incur some radical changes over the next 3 1/2 years.

Please don't suggest that isn't exactly what they this administration wants...I already had my fiber for the day.

#4  Any bets on how low Barack Obama bows when Kadaffi brings his tent and harem female bodyguards to the US next month?

#3  Of course they did. If an action undermines the US, then it will be done by Obama et al. It is their goal to diminish the US, and they are succeeding.

#2  I've only had one cup of joe, but I don't follow your logic on this one logi_cal. Please explain.

#1  Thanks, Fred, for the perfect example of why I've ceased referring to Fox news for anything objective.

The author is so out of touch with reality that he fails to even relate to the fact that anything this administration does is by agenda and according to plan.

Those of us who understood who this man is and who he both associated with and governs him with their influence knew this pre August 2008.

The rest of the country is slowly getting a reality check.

The risk here, frankly, is, "What 'crisis' will the man's handlers manufacture next to meet their agenda, and at what cost????"

Learn quickly? (They know exactly what they're doing.)

That comment is best referred to those cretinous idolaters that voted for the man but still have half a brain.
