Daily Mail: He was greeted by a mob who had descended on Mitiga Airport brandishing placards and cheering.

Some displayed Megrahi's face on their t-shirts while others waved Libyan and Scottish flags.

Should be entitled, “Punishment for Terrorists–Bleeding Heart Liberal Style.” Sickening, simply sickening. May those who “compassionately released this scum, burn in eternal hell fire beside him.

That some Scottish bast*rd let that scum loose is enough to turn the celtic aura of my blood to effluent.

WTF

For the first time in my life, I am ashamed of my celtic heritage. Panty-waste pansies…

Is this an outrage?,of course.
Is this an insult,you bet!
But why is it that we in the US and Israel cannot see that the Lebanese are outraged from having 900 civilians killed by Israel with no accountability?
Or of the 1500 innocents killed in Gaza?
Until we deal with those outrages,we can’t expect sympathy from anywhere else on earth.
We can only expect cheering by them when their terrorists are released when we have none of ours in custody for trial.

Dave, its NOT okay when a people lob bombs over a sovereign border and kill/injure innocents. Every country has a right to protect themselves and their people…including Israel. Just because your god, BO, doesn’t believe in the US as a sovereign nation doesn’t mean other countries believe the same.

It’s obamas fault.

Trent   August 21st, 2009 - 9:52 am

He is probably innocent. Why did we cheer when those two spies were released from North Korea recently???? Think what that says to North Korea!

Trent,
You are absolutely right on this. The case against this guy was weak in the first place and the only reason that he was in jail was because we insisted on it. Why shouldn’t they celebrate his release? The Libyans paid their blood money for the Lockerbie crash just like we paid ours for the Vincennes shoot down of an Iranian airliner. Not only did the Israelis kill hundreds of civilians in Lebanon, they left millions of cluster bomblets behind to further kill and maim into the future. Vast areas of Lebanon are essentially uninhabitable because of this. Where is the morality in that?

It is not obama’s fault directly, it is just part of the same liberal disease that both Obama and this other idiot liberal share. It is misplaced compassion. Obama has compassion for Terrorists but finds no flaws in the idea of drilling holes in new born babies heads and sucking out their brains in order to give a little something to buy the votes of less than compassionate Americans.

Trent and “What goes around” are one and the same idiot palestinian terrorist loving troll that drools on this board from time to time. Neither incarnation of that fducking terrorist tells the truth. Since this board is owned by a Jewish person that sick fduck trent likes to spew his disease in public here from time to time.

kmichaels   August 21st, 2009 - 12:25 pm

Let me tell Dave (yet another Trent incarnation) about the innocents in Gaza. Palestinian terrorists, as part of their vile nature, place their weapons next to women and children, because they find that their own people, women and children are simply dispensable for the cause of terror. Then they of course will play their game and complain about the sad deaths of these same women and children and dutifully carry out their bodies, that they caused to be killed in the first place, out in front of the conveniently placed cameras. They teach their kids to get killed by tanks and strap bombs to their own kids bodies. These people need help, from within, not sympathy from without. They are a sick and diseased culture of violence and abuse of their own people, especially women and children.

What goes around (not Trent)   August 21st, 2009 - 12:39 pm

kmichaels,
So what do you think about the cluster bombs? I love your logic. They teach their kids to get killed by tanks means that it is OK to run over them? I notice that the Israelis for all their puffery about trying to avoid civilian casualties have no problem with dropping a 2000 pound bomb on an apartment complex to kill one man. I guess his neighbors; including women and children should have picked a different neighborhood.

And what is with you and “all these people posting things that I don’t like have to be the same person”? Using your logic maybe you, Eileen, CommonSense, and that idiot, SoCalPatriot, whom we haven’t seen posting a comment for a while, are the same person, too.

Finally, is there any reason why you have to post consecutive comments?

What did you expect?

Larse   August 22nd, 2009 - 3:10 pm

Terrorist only seem to be terrorists when they do it to you. When you do it back you write a report and bury it. Unfortunately, all countries involved here have their fair share of mass killings.

This string of airline attacks started with America’s shoot down of Iran Air Flight 655. As Old Bush said:

“I’ll never apologize for the United States of America, ever. I don’t care what the facts are.”

And Bush, don’t expect them to ever apologize or forget either.

It is notable that Lt. William Calley did apologize. His life sentence was reduced to 3 1/2 years of house arrest.

Be careful what you whine about…
