We should have had a stealth bomber flying over the spot of his homecoming and dropped a 2,000 lbs bomb on the whole crowd.
Wave up America. Pres_ _ent Obama did not say the
release was objectionable. It was the reception.
Should it have been in the Oval Office?
This is UN style justice. The trial should have been held in the USA, and the POS should have been imprisoned here.
Jurisdiction was in Scotland for the trial because the flight crashed there.
We should have objected and had the trial in the USA.
BTW, there is no death penalty in Scotland.
Lesson learned.
While the outrage is understandable, prior to the release it was common knowledge in UK that a pending appeal would quite likely show that the prisoner was framed by the British government.
Avoiding this embarassment may have been one reason for the release.
Funny how all this “outrage” is being vented after the fact. I’m sure the Brits coordinated this with us and got the green light behind the scenes. Gotta do Muslim outreach, y’know.
“Our country has lost its way.”
.
As much as I dislike 0, what would you have liked for him to do? He certainly is not going to pick a fight with another Muslim country.
Do you think that Bush would have reacted otherwise? Hell, he is the one who used the phrase, “Religion of Peace” during a “State of the Union” address. There are still millions of Americans who take that statement for granted.
0bama may say it’s objectionable... he may write in in an email... but I am betting he was in a quiet conversation and agreed to it, warning Brown that he’d have to publicly denounce it.
Everyone was in on it. All this after the fact posturing is pure unadulterated bull droppings.
Gaddafi should be dead, but is alive to continually praise Obama.
dba Obama wants to release Gitmoese to CONUS, gives 900M to Hamas, gives cover to Ahmadinejad who murders 700 and builds his Holocaust-2 bomb.
dba Obama: "I will stand with them"
dba Obama: "Happy Ramadan!"
Mueller. Mueller. Mueller.
You are "outraged" at the wrong person.
Next he will be deeply concerned and after that let him be clear here
Notice Obama called the big celebration “highly objectionable,” and not the release itself. Even the phrase “highly objectionable” is not a condemnation. It simply means that he felt that the celebration exceeded the bounds of good Marxist Muslim propaganda.
I’m sure he had to approve this before the Brits did it. People are blaming the Scottish Nationalist Party, but Khadaffi thanked Brown and Queen Elizabeth for the release, so maybe this was not accurate.
Somebody on another thread suggested that the Brits did it as retaliation for dumping the Guantanamo Uighurs in Bermuda without notifying them first. Possible, IMHO.
It was out of their control, nothing Obama could do but he is furious if that helps any......180 faceless Americans, long gone, just didn’t provide a photo-op. Amazing how they could negotiate with North Korea to get two liberal journalists, who worked for Al Gore, released.
The justice department could have stopped this and they didn’t. We have charges pending against this man. No way Mueller didn’t know about this. Feigned outrage to cover their a$$es and they hope you never find out what really happened.
“...The Libyan head of state embraces a murderer of americans and the president of the united states states the release is “highly objectionable”.
And BO waits a week to say anything?
The U.S. is within its rights to have this terrorist hunted down and either killed or captured.
(1) There is no statute of limitations on murder.
(2) The terrorist never faced trial in a U.S. court so double jeopardy does not apply. He can be prosecuted, convicted, and sent to a little cell in a Supermax prison to live out whatever is left of his worthless life.
(3) As far as I know (not legal advice), deadly force can be used to apprehend a murder suspect who won’t surrender to law enforcement. That means U.S. authorities can and should kill him if they can’t capture him.
Obama should have the U.S. Justice Department act on this.
To whom it may concern in the UK government:
I am going to have to publicly state that I find the release of the Lockerbie bomber “highly objectionable.” Please understand that this is for public consumption on the home front. For some reason, many people here cannot forgive that guy. But please understand that I do not really intend to criticize you. I think it is great that you are releasing this poor man, and I will certainly do everything that I can behind the scenes to show support to you.
Yours truly,
President Obama
