Our fair share of the blood money. . .
August 29, 2009
Pan Am Flight 103 carried 180 Americans and 52 British citizens. The plane was blown up over Lockerbie Scotland by Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi. Two years ago the British government decided that it was “in the overwhelming interests of the United Kingdom” to allow Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi to return to his home country – Lybia according to an article in The Sunday Times. Why? Simple, Lybia offered the United Kingdom a oil and gas deal worth 15 billion pounds. It is too late to get Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi back, so we should ask the United Kingdom for our fair share of the blood money. Seems like we should be getting 10.2 billion pounds in exchange for the American lives that were lost – America paid the bigger price and as a result we should get the bigger payoff.

Given the explicit admission by the British establishment that they were hushing up the Al-Yamamah BAE scandal on national security grounds, this sort of rottenness is merely par for the course. I believe there must be so many skeletons in the closet over in jolly olde England that the real issue when one among the many is exposed is qui bono.

By the bye, it should come as no surprise that Colonel Muammar al-Ghaddafi attended the Royal Libyan Military Academy run by the Brits as an equivalent of their prestigious Sandhurst in Libya . He’s a present day “Nostromo” without a doubt.
