Heavens, BP and the British government somehow cut a deal with Libya to release the Lockerbie “bomber” in exchange for an oil contract!
Of course that’s what was done!
Just as America recognized Libya in exchange for a $10 million payoff to our Lockerbie victims and oh yes, some beneficial oil contracts.
These deals may have been seedy and cynical, but they were done with the full awareness of the US Congress.
So why are the 4 Senators from New York and New Jersey surprised, let alone angry?
It’s the same sort of nonsense as the outrage, entirely driven by the racist Know Nothing Party and its racist Fox News enablers, over a Muslim center being built some two blocks away from Ground Zero.
So the new British PM says it was a Scottish decision, not his fault, and the Scots say it was a British government decision, not their fault!!!
Why not just be honest: “We did the same sort of deal with Tripoli that you Americans did, so please, enough already with the breathtaking hypocrisy!”
Gorilla says: “15 million unemployed, there have to be better things for Senators to do than fire up their fifth-rate Claude Rains impressions!”
