Surprise! Obama and Hillary Knew of Lockerbie Bomber’s Release All Along

So much for the feigned outrage of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton over the release of Abdelbaset Al Megrahi. Gordon Brown’s had enough of Dear Leader, and British officials recently said as much.

Via Yid with Lid,The Daily Mail reports:

Downing Street has hit back at Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for attacking the decision to release the Lockerbie bomber.

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.

‘They knew about our prisoner transfer agreement with Libya and they knew that the Scots were considering Megrahi’s case.’

Mr Obama said Megrahi’s release on compassionate grounds was a ‘mistake’ while Mrs Clinton phoned the Scottish administration to complain in person.

    Swizzle: first of all, yes there were WMDs. Big enough to take out the U.S.? Maybe not. I’m not sure the Kurds felt better about that. Second point: if you bothered to research and ready anything but the mainstream media, you would find lots of unbiased reports about what was found in Iraq. Third: it was Saddam Hussein who tossed the coin, gambling that the world would believe he was armed to the teeth and ready to push the red button—when you do that, sometimes you lose the toss.

    Are you able to make a comment or argument with reason and facts to back up your statement, instead of just tossing profanity, or did they not teach you how to do that in a liberal school?

    This is precisely why we need to rid ourselves of foreign oil. I know what that would do to the economy (this recession would be a blip)—but long-term, we must get away from these radical Bedouins ruling the planet. Just step aside and let capitalism do what it’s supposed to and watch how fast fossil fuels become irrelevant. Of course, some people would NOT become rich…can’t have that.

    Liberty, (love that name)
    Agree. If it wasn’t for the US, Saudi Arabia would still be sitting on top of their “natural resource” in tents. We gave them everything they have.

    Swizzle,
    Like in “swizzle stick?” In a glass of booze? Are they paying you minimum wage for posting on blogs? Got news for you, there are WAY more Americans tired of supporting the likes of you, than there are of you bums.
