Manuel Noriega: French court backs his return to Panama
BBC ^ | November 23, 2011

Posted on 11/23/2011 8:57:11 AM PST by decimon

A French court has granted a request by Panama to send Manuel Noriega back home, where he is wanted for crimes committed during his 1983-1989 rule.

The former Panamanian military leader is currently serving a prison sentence in France for money laundering.

Prior to that, he spent 20 years in prison in the US after being convicted there of drug-trafficking charges.

Noriega is likely to return before the end of the year to Panama, where courts have already convicted him in absentia.

The way this administration is running, I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to reinstate him.

“The way this administration is running, I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to reinstate him.”

This administration is extremely honest for a change. I have a lot of respect for President Martinelli. What a wonderful change in our lives.

He would become at terrific U.S. president since US nationality is no longer important. He was educated in the US and speaks American English.

Further, he was never a politician. He had always been very successful in business but just got fed up with the state of the crooked Panamanian political culture…like the political crooked culture in the US of A.

PS

“The way this administration is running, I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to reinstate him.”

“I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to reinstate him.”...you mean Noriega.

I can’t help myself for saying this:

You are an ignorant ass.

And what do you mean by:

“The way this administration is running....”
