No.10 turns on Obama and Clinton for criticising decision to release Lockerbie bomber
Daily Mail Online ^ | 3:14 AM on 06th September 2009 | Simon Walters

Posted on 09/06/2009 10:10:38 AM PDT by fiodora

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.

I was more surprised...and DOUBTFUL...when the administration spoke out against this release....I wasn’t buying it for a minute...

So...the truth comes out...and where’s the BREAKING NEWS?

No worries...I’m sure Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity, and others will be discussing this at great length in the next day or so...

Transparency my @$$!!!

Is anyone at all surprised by this news?

I'm Shocked!
Shocked I say!
How much clearer can I make it but to say I am more than just Surprised?
I am DAMNED Shocked......
......but more than that - I am not in ANY WAY surprised!

“How is this not really, really big news”

It’s a riddle! Let me think..

When there is no free means of mass dissemination?

He’s a little outrageous - but I’d rather be in Rev Manning’s pews than Rev J Wright.

The curtain pulled back on Hussein's deceitful little kabuki theater. Hope he and Ms. Rodman catch holy hell for their perfidy.

Yes, absolutely. Note that this discussion has been going on for some time. Did the Brits say “in recent years” regarding discussions with the WH? Also note that Bush and Cheney didn’t allow it to happen. If the Brits brought it up with the Bush WH, Cheney put the ixnay on it.

Wait till it comes out that Hussein actually AGREED to it & PUSHED for it. The Brits are holding back, me thinks.

“He’s a little outrageous - but I’d rather be in Rev Manning’s pews than Rev J Wright.”

Nicely put! He is a bit outrageous, but he’s very funny, unlike the Zero’s Wright. Wright is consumed by resentment!

Thanks for the collection!!

Obama and Hillary, dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight

hillary is a non-issue. She clearly is clueless on everything and contributing nothing. The TOTUS-reader's handlers got that one completely right.

But ayers and soros and obama are certainly doing that dance.
