Yes. But another way to look at it is that if this knocks the Labor Party out of power and the conservatives take over, then those victims didn’t die for nothing. That’s about the best face I can put on it. Another beneficial by-product is that it makes ostammer look like a totally impotent candyass.

"if they just didn’t care about the president’s objections after all the disrespect that he’s given the UK."Crocodile tears for public consumption.
It's the release of the terrorists that count. Ask Hillary.

I posted last week that it was all about oil. As always...follow the money.

I still keep imagining that the 230 Nigerians were a major, if secret, factor. If they were not, I agree with your assessment.

Ronald Reagan would have never let the SOB’s plane land. Would have forced it down in Tel Aviv, or shot it down into the Med.

Or even better. Al-Megrahi would have been inside a C-130 instead of a Boeing or Airbus and kicked out through the ramp with a tangled parachute 30000 feet over the Med.

Unlikely we knew, or knew and signed off on it?
My thinking runs this way, FWIW: That we quite probably did know about the deal. And that if we did indeed know about it, there was no way we'd keep quiet and let the Brits do the deal without cutting us in on it.
I want to be wrong about that. I'd be delighted to serve myself up a heaping helping of crow.
But I want to know the answer to that. And I don't think anyone's asking about what we knew and when we knew it.

And note to Chuck Schumer: If you suddenly shut your lap about this after calling for sanctions on the Brits, well, we’ll all know why, won’t we...

If the admin was involved the chance the US media would care is zero.

I want to know if the US gov’t was complicit in this deal in any way. Brian on FNFs said there's no way Great Britain would make this deal without first consulting with the Obama administration knowing how many Americans died in that bombing. Sounds like they are going to keep on top of this. Follow the oil.

FWIW, I don't think this is just about oil.
I have a very, very bad feeling....
