THE US government secretly advised Scottish ministers it would be "far preferable" to free the Lockerbie bomber than jail him in Libya.

Correspondence obtained by The Sunday Times reveals the Obama administration considered compassionate release more palatable than locking up Abdel Baset al-Megrahi in a Libyan prison.

I pray the families and friends of those killed will raise as much hell as the leftist widows did against Bush after 9/11.

This country let them down after the bombing and now by advocating for the Lockerbie’s bombers release - as hard as it would be reliving that day, they should not rest until American’s know Abdelbaset al-Megrahi name as well as they known Bin Ladens.

I said something to that effect at the time of the release based on remarks of the Scottish authorities who said that they had cleared it with London and Washington. The US never expressed strong objections until it was made public and too late to do anything about it.

Whose side is Obama on?

All enemies of the United States. Thugs, criminals, terrorists, Islamic terrorists, Marxists, Maoists, atheists, etcetera.

Ruh-roh! Now, WHY would they prefer this terrorist be released vs imprisoned in a Libyan prison? Didn’t he receive a hero’s welcome when he returned?


Makes no sense ...

The only way this stands to be resolved is with a stack of subpoenae. And we won’t get those unless the ‘Rats lose their marjorities in both houses and the Pubbies grow a spine.

As the girls at the White Elephant Club in Danang used to say, “Nevvuh hoppen, GI!”

They used to tell me: "Lube you too much GI..No shitte...give me money" Of course I also heard the famous words of "Nevvuh hoppen GI" as well.

At least they were honest...I lived in a villa about 2 blocks away from the good old White Elephant club off and on while TDY and flying out of DaNang AB in 1970.... Fond memories...

I just posted to ABC news and so should all of you . I dared them to report this story. Instead of posting to each other we need to take our rage to the media and others who oppose us. Go ahead folks . Writ to the MSM and tell them off. I just did . Lets apply pressure.


I did

Let’s all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
