“The interests of justice have not been served by this decision,” Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement, saying he was “extremely disappointed” by the release. “There is simply no justification for releasing this convicted terrorist whose actions took the lives of 270 individuals, including 189 Americans.”

“As we have expressed repeatedly to officials of the government of the United Kingdom and to Scottish authorities, we continue to believe that Megrahi should serve out his sentence in Scotland,” he said in a statement. “On this day, we extend our deepest sympathies to the families who live every day with the loss of their loved ones. We recognize the effects of such a loss weigh upon a family forever.”

The White House said that it, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Holder and other U.S. officials had “extensive contacts” with their counterparts in Britain to oppose the release.

So can you explain to me how the above does not qualify as “support of families” or “condemnation of terrorists”?

So when a country does not do what we want it is a failure for the president?

What do you propose exactly? Invade Scotland for their disobedience?

Anyways, one of the arguments was that Obama would be better at foreign policy because the “world” loved him. In this case Obama failed to act and prevent Scotland from doing this.

Because even friends get along 100% of the time, and agree on everything!

I doubt the administration did hardly anything to stop this. A President is suppose to support his country and its people around the world and in this case the victims of this tragedy deserved a President and admin. who fought for their rights. I don’t think Obama did anything expect words but he tends to have a lot empty words

You doubt, and think, but do you have any evidence to back up said doubts? Or to put it another way you are letting your personal emotions cloud your judgment. Yes Obama might have basically done nothing like you said, but at this point the evidence points in the other direction, so you are just making stuff up to fit your world view.

Are you a Republican?

Because that makes one bit of difference? I don’t think everything someone does is bad just because I am from the other side. Nor do I believe that everyone on my side is perfect.

But since you asked I would qualify myself as a moderate that leans right.

BTW…. if you happen to be interested in the truth, this seems more likely….

The release of the Lockerbie bomber was tied to trade deals between Libya and the UK, reports quote the son of Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi saying.

Remember… the US is not the only place in the world with corrupt politicians.
