The <i>WaPo</i> gets it half right: release of the Lockerbie bomber — 12 Comments

  1. It’s becoming harder and harder to miss who Obama considers to be the real enemies, the ones he will get tough with: Americans from the center-right on and Israel.

  2. huxley, you are of course right. “De-colonialism” is the master narrative for people like him. Does anyone else remember Franz Fanon? Obama does.

  3. Say – where do you suppose the friends and relatives of the Lockerbie people might purchase one o’ them new-fangled Predator or Reaper thangs?

  4. Technology, you might be right, but you shouldn’t rule out the potential of an invincible craven stupidity.

  5. The sad thing is that one day, like North Korea, Libya will burn in an unimaginable fire – it’s what their fascism offers them; a clash of opposites, an unfulfillable promise, and ultimately utter ruin of city and steel and waste of the innocent.

  6. Unless a legal preemptive option is taken — but that requires extraordinary real-compassion, mercy, moral courage, and 82 Airborne style professionalism.

    The only thing missing is an international legality, again which we had in Iraq many times over.

    Libya bypassed this quite cleverly in 2003 when they came clean, only by the threat of real force, with their WMD program and handed over their arms.

    North Korean is flaunting it’s international crimes regarding WMD’s — so this is a plus in regards to acting on moving from the military stalemate to the humanitarian issue at hand.

    As both spiral more and more into decay, more legality will emerge — so sad, so sad!

  7. It doesn’t matter, but “compassion” has every little to do with the affair. It’s about oil and gas. Libya has; the West hasn’t. Personally, I’d make nice to Putin before I’d grovel to the like of Col Quad. I’m only surprised he didn’t demand the Queen for one of his brides. The politicians would have stuffed her on the Tripoli flight too.

    I’m actually happy that he thumbed his nose at the lot of us. Maybe, finally, we’ll conclude to explore and drill and use our own. But there is the little matter of that numbskull in the Oval Office…

  8. Correction:

    It doesn’t matter, but “compassion” has very little to do with the affair.

    Need stronger tea this morning.

  9. I’m see that now — how utterly contemptible and shameful!

    I smell George Galloway…
