Panama's Noriega returning home to serve time

AP ^ | December 11, 2011

[ConservativeStatement]

Former military strongman Manuel Antonio Noriega was flown home to Panama on Sunday to be punished once again for crimes he committed during a career that saw him transformed from a close Cold War ally of Washington to the vilified target of a U.S. invasion.

The only reason he was ever arrested and put in jail is because he PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED he had the GOODS on Bush Senior and other government scumbags heavily involved in the Drug Trade and was going to release it. Within hours we raided Panama.

Didn’t even know that Noriega would be sent back home. Humanitarian gesture from our PINO/DOJ? Where is the Leftist Media on this? If it would take down the Bushes, you’d think they’d be all over it. It never made sense to me when this all happened - much like Gulf War I - crazies have always run the world, but unfortunately, they are getting crazier and more lethal than ever...even here in the good ol’ USA.

Didn’t even know that Noriega would be sent back home. Humanitarian gesture from our PINO/DOJ? Well, that would be difficult, seeing as how he is being extradited from France. Noriega finished his sentence in the US back in '07, and was then sent to France, which also wanted him on criminal charges. Now, Panama wants him back in order to face trial for the crimes he committed against the Panamanian people when he was dictator.

had the GOODS on Bush Senior...

I've always wondered what goes on inside the head of completely loonytoons, conspiracy minded whackjobs. What does?

I was in “The Tunnel” at SOUTHCOM HQS at Quarry Heights in Panama the day they got him out of the Papal Nuncio’s building. I had to watch it on CNN. The guy’s been in the slammer for 21 years now. It wouldn’t bother me if he were released from custody after all this time. Wish I’d kept that t-shirt that had a caricature of Noriega surrounded by a circle with a slash. The legend was “Esta Vaina se Acabo!” ((This S**T is over.))

I guess you never heard of or listened to or ever read the “Kerry Commission Report” where they laid out the EVIDENCE that Bush and the CIA were heavily involved in the DRUG TRADE. They had the EVIDENCE and Chose to do nothing, Bob Kerry even stated so on National TV. So before you think people are full of “conspiracy” theories, you might want to look at REAL EVIDENCE AND REPORTS produced by CONGRESS once you get off your knees.
