NO BLOOD FOR OIL!!!!
Wow...and all along, I thought that the US was the one guilty of that charge (if you believe the leftists). Come to find out, that we are the ones played for suckers...
Well, let’s be logical about this. How much blood did the passengers on the Lockerbie aircraft have? No doubt barely enough to fill up one crude-oil sized barrel, if that much. So that small amount of blood, the retribution for which has now been waived, will purchase millions and millions of gallons of oil. While blood may be thicker than water, it is most definitely not thicker than crude oil, which is considerably more expensive and lucrative. So, all things considered, it was a fair exchange. A few more years in jail for Megrahi would not have brought the victims back, but a few years less have brought all that lovely crude to the UK.
Oh, you retort, but what about justice? Well, didn’t a great Roman orator once say that it’s better to let a dozen guilty men go free than to punish one innocent? So, Megrahi is just one guilty man. The British government and the huge, honking corporation that’s going to buy all that oil, are dozens of men who, whatever else you can say about them, didn’t explode any airplanes full of passengers. So if they don’t get their oil deal, they’re being punished, aren’t they? So, very much in keeping with that maxim, only one guilty man has gone free, and dozens of innocent men are not being punished. So everyone should be happy, shouldn’t they?
Hey? Did I say something wrong? Well, don’t blame me. PM Brown sent me out here to explain it all. It wasn’t my idea. Will the families of the Lockerbie dead please put down those torches and pitch forks? OK. Gotta run. ‘bye.
