Lockerbie bomber’s release: What did Obama know and when did he know it?

by Horatius on August 23, 2009

We now know that British Prime Minister Gordon Brown was complicit in Scotland’s “compassionate” release of Lockerbie  bomber Abdulbaset al-Megrahi, as revealed in a letter reported in the Guardian.

Was President Obama also in on the deal? Despite FBI chief Mueller’s outraged posturing on the matter, it seems inconceivable that the British government would effectively endorse Megrahi’s release without consulting the Obama administration.  On second thought, no, it doesn’t.  What is inconceivable is that the Brits or Scots would have pulled this stunt without consulting a President Romney or McCain or Huckabee.  President Obama is another matter.

America is just now beginning to enjoy the foreign-policy fruits of having an inexperienced black-supremacist and Islamo-fascist stooge* for a President.  Governments around the world know that with Mr. Obama in the White House they can run riot and “won’t nobody say nuthin’.”

*If you think this view harsh, take a moment to consider why Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder, deliberately dropped an easy Philadelphia voter intimidation case against the New Black Panthers who, by the way, endorsed Barack Obama for President.  More on that later. [July 25, 2010 UPDATE: The Australian reports that Obama was consulted in advance and apparently argued against the release but said, oddly, that if Scotland must release him from a Scottish prison he should be given a compassionate release in Scotland rather than transfer to a Libyan jail.  Not surprisingly, Scotland seems to have ignored Obama in sending him home free to Libya.]

Kurt, I think you are underestimating Obama’s influence!! This guy is All Powerful, All Seeing, and Very, Very Evil.

Of COURSE he was in on the release! This was part of the original plan that Obama cooked-up with Qadafi years ago when Obama was just getting started. He took a trip from Chicago, ostensibly to visit some of his Black Supremacist inlaws in Kenya. But, unbeknownest to anyone at the time, he detoured North and visited Qadafi, also. They conspired together to carry out the bombing, with the understanding that Obama, upon being elected President — with or without the help of the US Supreme Court — would help free anyone who might be convicted of the deed. This is all on the record; I read it on Drudge, just recently.

“black-supremacist and Islamo-fascist stooge” don’t begin to adequately describe the power of this man. He is responsible for the almost two-month straight period of triple diget temperatures, and the extended drought, in Central Texas. The massive melting of glaciers is a direct consequence of a meeting between Obama and Al Gore. Is it just happenstance that the oceans of the planet are the warmest they’ve been since the Cretaceous?? HELL NO!! Wake up America, Obama is responsible for those temperatures: It is all part of his plan to flood the lily white coastal area of the US South and Gulf Coasts!!

C’mon, Kurt. Get with it. Don’t be blinded by considerations of logic, rationality, or reasonableness. Stop being so reticent and polite in your name calling when it comes to Obama. Call a spade a spade, for god’s sake.

Kurt, there is an article at consortiumnews.com/2009/082109a.html which you and your readers should not, let me repeat, NOT, read. It has all that history stuff in there about the US Navy shooting down an Iranian airliner, and the speculation among the girly-boys of the world that maybe Iran had something to do with the Lockerbie crime, as a way of retaliating. There’s a lot of other historical stuff in there that should be ignored, such as the fact that there were two Libyans tried for the crime and the Scot judges found one innocent and one guilty. Don’t be misled by this, just because both were tried at the same time and on the basis of the same evidence.

Just a friendly warning: Becoming conversant with so many historical facts may cause some the heads on your usual readers to explode.

Why should the Brits, the Saudis, the Koreans, the Iranians, and on ad infinitum, bother to consult our Islamo-fascist stooge? Since Obama is decribed in the British press as “President Pantywaist,” why indeed?

He shows no evidence of a backbone, just a whiny, humorless disposition. Hardly something for the international community to take note of, except in taking advantage of same.

This is a guy taking instruction from others, not giving it.

Oh, yes. It was Qaddafi who during the campaign claimed Obama as one of the Islamic brotherhood. He was “our boy.” The Libyan dictator effectively had advance authorization for whatever tampering he wanted to do with American interests.
Since the election, Obama has confirmed his acquiescence to the Islamic nations in a score of ways, among them announcing the United States was not a Judeo-Christian nation. And including his deep bow from the waist to the Saudi king — deep enough to kiss his ring, if Obama just puckered a little.
Bowing is something non-subjects– particularly American presidents– do not do. But Obama? Who, on the same round of visits, although bowing to the Saudi king, who controls Islam’s most sacred sites, did not bow to the Queen of England. Says volumes.

OH, dear!!! The other shoe just dropped, and now you guys are going to have to get to work on a new spin.

Lockerbie bomber Abdulbaset al-Megrahi, it appears, was released by the Brits in exchange for a HUGE oil deal involving either British Petroleum or Royal Dutch Shell, or both.

Can we expect right-wing demands for the boycotts of these two giants? Will good conservatives stop buying their products? How about denying these two FOREIGN companies licenses and other permits to do business in the United States? Hmmmm…..? Do we really need all their dirty, blood-stained oil after all?

And if it is true that the Obama admin offered the Brits millions upon millions of dollars not to release Lockerbie bomber Abdulbaset al-Megrahi, will we soon see some apologies to Obama from the right wing?
[Hint: Don't hold your breath while waiting for it.]
