Somebody needs to ask Hilliary what Bill Clinton would have done in this situation.
This would get a reaction, guaranteed!

President Obama and the US Secretary of State fuelled a fierce American backlash against Britain, claiming Abdelbaset Al Megrahi should have been forced to serve out his jail sentence in Scotland – but a senior Whitehall aide said their reaction was ‘disingenuous’.
British officials claim Mr Obama and Mrs Clinton were kept informed at all stages of discussions concerning Megrahi’s return.
The officials say the Americans spoke out because they were taken aback by the row over Megrahi’s release, not because they did not know it was about to happen.
‘The US was kept fully in touch about everything that was going on with regard to Britain’s discussions with Libya in recent years and about Megrahi,’ said the Whitehall aide.
‘We would never do anything about Lockerbie without discussing it with the US. It is disingenuous of them to act as though Megrahi’s return was out of the blue.

Even if that’s what happened, it then represents a huge failure of Obama from a foreign policy perspective. There’s no way the Brits would have done this to Bush/Rice.
Is this posted anywhere else?
It's probably being understated as to the degree of knowledge and participation in this release. Zero is up to his eyeballs in this. He is trying so hard to repair our soiled image........doncha-know...
Our poor soiled image......
Gawwwd I hate these people........
You are correct.
Any legitimate press corps would be hounding Zero and Gibbs to know precisely what Zero knew about it ahead of the event and what communications he had with the UK leading to the prisoner’s release.
>>Any legitimate press corps
We haven’t had one of those for a long, long time.
Oh My.... This is part and parcel what is wrong with this administration. Lies and Half truths, misinformation and radicalism.
How exactly does this make us safer?
How exactly does this make us more loved in the world?
Obama is a fool and he is dragging the USA down.
AMERICAN PRAVDA refuses to report the story to the SHEEP.... because it is not in keeping with what der Führer wants in the news.
A Lockerbie indictment-Who specifically authorized the attack?
Who conceived it? Who built the bomb?

But we didn't thing 10 was going to out Emperor obie. Sweet!
Perhaps if Bam 1 didn’t send back the bust of Churchill to the Brits and didn’t insult Gordon Brown with that cheap, wrong format American DVD’s as a visiting guest perhaps #10 Downing St. would have stayed mute on the topic-—thanks that they spilled the beans on BOZerO.
All those people in Europe and England who thought obie was the One must be scratching their heads right now. I think they all would have voted him in by a 90%-10% avalanche.
Zero will blame it on Bush/Cheney!

Yeah, well, that’s a GIVEN. Just as normal as brushing one’s teeth. Hopefully....that HARP has lost a few strings the past few weeks. ;-)
Seriously....I doubt ‘Broon’ gives a rats @ss about Churchill.
Jack Straw raised concern over Lockerbie bomber's health
Some details relating to the US Government's views on the bomber's application for release have been cut from the Foreign Office documents, as have the identities of civil service officials...
The bold is mine.
Obama and Clinton exposed once again — this time front & center on an international stage — as the bald faced lying sacks of crap that they truly are. These liars are disgusting and a disgrace to America. Do they EVER tell the truth about ANYTHING?
The Obowma Kenyan let this bomber go just like he let all Guantanamo go. The muzzie bombers of innocents are not the enemy. I am now the enemy - conservative white male anti-socialized-medicine gun owner.
