Scarborough: Obama Admin Must Have Signed Off On Lockerbie Terrorist Release
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/31/2009 6:12:55 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

If Joe Scarborough is right, this could be a game-changing blow to Barack Obama . . .

On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough left no doubt that he believes the Obama administration acquiesed to the release by the British government of Abdelbaset Al Megrahi, the convicted Lockberbie murderer and terrorist.

It makes sense to me but we need some evidence.

If he can walk away from the Air Force One buzzing of New York City gone on a joyride on a foggy, cloudy, day — walking away from this will be no sweat.

Acquiesed??...I wouldn't be surprised if the Obama administration pressured the British government into releasing his friend (I mean the terrorist).

Agreed. Maybe if the GOP would put pressure on the UK and Scotland to explain itself they would come clean...

hmmmmm....I heard this morning that Chuck Schumer is calling for UN sanctions on the UK. So much for Obama bringing in a new era of international love for our country...LOL. Obama is pissing off our historical allies and appeasing our enemies at every foreign policy juncture.

Joe also said that “death panels” being in the bill was a bald-faced lie.

You have to ask yourself what political angle is Joe Scarborough going for on any given quote. His is a snake-oil salesman and a RINO turncoat.

(Not to put too fine a point on it...)

On what planet would this be a game-changing blow to Obama? Obama could have Osama bin Laden over for a beer, and sit, watch and smile as OBL cross examined CIA interrorgators, then drive his car off a bridge and leave his girlfriend behind to die as he went for ice cream, and his mediawhores would swooooooonn and marvel at his ability to multi-task.

Sadly, even if it emerges as completely proven, it’s not going to change anything in the mind of the American public. People already know he is terrorist-friendly and it doesn’t bother them.

Heck, he made his first televised address after inauguration to “the Muslim world” and not to Americans, and nobody outside of FR even batted an eyelash. Since then he has done nothing but release and protect terrorists, but still nobody cares.

“It makes sense to me but we need some evidence.”

Agreed. And where would evidence surface? Investigative reporting?! Ha.

This is a non starter for that reason.

Pure speculation, IMHO. It's not unreasonable speculation, but it's speculation.

well, a colonel fell on his sword for Obama on the NY sight-seeing flight.

Who will it be for the release of the Libyan terrorist??
