If we could discuss the issue in logical terms instead of liberal emotion we might consider a couple of factors. The US gave Saddam a year to comply with about a hundred UN sanctions and democrats gave permission for boots on the ground and then sat back and pretend to be bystanders or members of the jihad. Obama put pressure on Scotland to release the Lockerbie bomber to a hero's welcome in Libya and then turned around and killed the sons of a leader of a sovereign nation that was not a threat to the US. Who's next? Putin?
This is a perfect example of what worthless lying scum CON$ are!!!
It was the BRITISH who pressured Scotland to release the Lockerbie bomber and it was Obama who objected to Scotland's decision to release him.
There is no lie too low for CON$ to stoop to!!!

Barack Obama last night denounced Scotland's release of the convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi as a mistake, and revealed the US had opened talks with Libya urging the regime to keep the terminally-ill man under house arrest until his death.
Megrahi, who is thought to have only three months to live, was freed on compassionate grounds yesterday. But as the Afriqiyah Airways jet taking him home to Tripoli took off from Glasgow airport at 3.26pm, it left in its wake a torrent of international condemnation.
Obama led the strong US criticism of the decision. "We have been in contact with the Scottish government, indicating that we objected to this," he said. "We thought it was a mistake."
