Brief public remarks of U.S. President Obama during a radio address on the release of the convicted Lockerbie Bomber after serving 8 yrs of a Life sentence:

"That was a mistake."

US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other U.S. officials also objected to Scottish and British governments before the release.

It was not America that released this scumbag......it was the SCOTTISH GOVT!!

The US White House protested vigorously against releasing him to Libya, but met no joy in the efforts to dissuade the Scots. This is an outrage to the Americans who died on that plane, and their families, as well as all those hapless and innocent passengers who died needlessly.

I cannot understand how this took place in such a conservative country as Scotland.

I do not care if a country sells a prisoner, I just think they need to tell the public the price that was paid, how much value we received for this.

They need to smear the government of Libya, diminish their sense of power.

I do not see the Scottish or British culture as significantly different than the USA culture. This is cultural, something I would consider myself an expert on.

We allowed this man to go free, I do not care, it is the USA culture that allowed this crap to happen. This is an insult to very American Soldier that gave his or her life to protect this culture.

The UK is simply scared of the Muslims Period. Most of the world is. Except Thailand.

Thais will not put up with Muslim crap. Muslims can pray and do what they want to their own in Thailand, but Buddha forbid you mess with the regular Thais.

There is a problem in southern Thailand with Muslims extremists ( crazy ass terrorists) they (Thai government) simple hunt them down and kill them. Same with drug dealers. Works for me and them.
I am Catholic and the Thai government does not interfere with me or my church. (maybe because we try to help the poor and respect human life ? Strange eh ?

Brown sends message to Muslims for Ramadan
21 August 2009 - 2:58pm.

* International

London : British Prime Minister Gordon Brown sent his best wishes on Friday to Muslims in the UK and around the world for the beginning of the sacred month of Ramadan tomorrow.

In a message released by Downing Street, Brown said that Ramadan is a time for family and friends when Muslims around the world "focus more on others then themselves." "As you come together every day for the next month to break the fast, thoughts will be of faith, families and togetherness," he said.

The Prime Minister emphasized that the message of compassion and justice is strong in the Islamic faith, not just in the holy month of Ramadan.

"Britain is a country of around two million Muslims and in Europe there are over 20 million Muslims," the British leader noted.

"The UK's culture and society are stronger because of the contribution Muslims make every day," he added.

UK is stronger ? They (UK) are shivering in there boots any time they got to deal with a Muslim with a complaint.

I have no solution.......... I do not believe you can civilly deal with uneducated, angry, devout Muslims. Period . They come to the western world and insist on their methods and that is it. All others are wrong. You can not deal with them. Why did they leave there country if it is so wonderful ?

I do agree with Muslims not letting their women drive. But that is another topic for another day.

I think I broke the first rule of "Thai Club" however I do love the King and a King who can make it rain is not to be taken lightly.

Thai King's patent to make rain. NO BS http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/2940430.stm

Religions desire to the same goals as a cult, the Islamic religion achieves this goal better than other religions. Sadly, there is no freedom of religions, I am good man, I know this, I do not feel guilty.

By the way, all you Catholics need to have just one more baby, one more to make sure their are tons of missionaries.

As you say, "Thai Club,"

First Rule of Thai Club

Truly sad that the good Gods somehow got involved in all this, you would think they would be able to choose their friend better. I think this is Gods big laugh, allowing us all to try to separate good people from bad, knowing the road is long and narrow like a razors edge, too many are cut.. hehehe

Wow. I checked the link and it seems it is legit. That is a amazing fact if true. I wonder if this "RAIN" ever gets out of control because I have seen the rain in Thailand and it is much stronger than I have ever experienced anywhere else in the world. Thailand is always on top when it comes to rice production that depends on rain at the right time. If the King of Thailand can really make it rain as the patent states, that is truly a God like function. Not sure I believe it, but it is from the BBC and is Googleable , If that is a word ? It does show up many times. Simple amazing and also says he has a patent to distribute the water once it hits the ground with a water mechanical aerator ?

No wonder you have to stand at the movie theater similar too a pledge of elegance in USA school classroom and give respect to this guy. Not sure I really believe it. I can't find anything that says this is a farce or joke ? Andy, is it true or just a Thai myth or tall tale to keep his people in line ? Never heard of this before.

We have just been scammed again......humanitarian reasons my ass! I'm just about sick of being treated like I'm stupid......it's all about freaking oil.

I think you have wrapped yourself in the warm, insulating blanket of other cultures to the point that you no longer comprehend the reality of American culture. Of course, who am I to speak? The South still mourns the outcome of The War of Northern Aggression.

Bunch Of Bolna, If this king can make rain it is not because he is God. If and I say If very loosely,it is true he has a lot of people working for him that are very intelligent researchers or the King himself has researched the science to do this BUT I still feel he had lots of help and buckets of money to fund the project. If it is true he better start marketing it because he will make his country very rich. Have not seen it on CNN yet and all sorts of truths and half truths and outright lies make it there. I think this may be like the story of the Emperor's New Clothes.

Cloud seeding has been done for many decades with mixed success. No biggie, its been reported the original King, Elvis, thought he could make rain at will, just by stepping out of the limousine and pointing at the clouds.

Might have had something to do with his mental state at the time.

Mom, Would I lie to you ? I was a bit skeptical too but the more I look into it the more I find out what what a amazing man this guy is. No certainly not a God but simply one of the most amazing resumes I have ever seen and he plays the Saxophone much better than President Clinton. Original music by the way he also writes and plays himself and has his music recorded by some of the best back in the day.

Mom here is a link to one of his tunes. I think you will enjoy it. Some guy named Benny Goodman and his band is playing it No Bolona ,Mom.

Also I thought of a the all the young "disciples of Andy" when I viewed this video about the King of Thailand http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZoRSTAA7FMandfeature=related

Link to SOME of his patents http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhumibol_Adulyadej#Patent

This is yet another classic example of the ignorance of hobo. He shaped and molds his views of the world into "reality" and then argues that, indeed, the world is truly as he sees it.

Numerous posters have stated the following FACTS:

1. This individual was NOT a prisoner of the United States.
2. This individual was NOT under the juristiction of the United States.
3. The government of Scotland made the decision to release this individual.
4. The U.S. objected to the release.
5. The U.S. strongly encouraged Scotland NOT to release the individual.

In the face of all of these FACTS, hobo, in his simple way, says:

We allowed this man to go free, I do not care, it is the USA culture that allowed this crap to happen. This is an insult to very American Soldier that gave his or her life to protect this culture.

Wow. Just ignorance.

Do you are anyone honestly believe that our protest over the release of this man was not just a political charade? Do not trust anything said or done by our government!

Switzerland apologies over arrest of Gaddafi's son !!!
Friday, 21 Aug 2009 10:35

Switzerland's president has issued an apology over the arrest of Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's son last year.

Hannibal Kadhafi and his wife were arrested in Geneva on July 2008 after two of their staff claimed they had been mistreated.

The couple were eventually freed after two days in custody and the complaint was dropped after lawyers for the staff said they had received compensation.

On Thursday, Hans-Rudolf Merz issued an apology during a press conference in Tripoli with Libyan prime minister Baghdadi Mahmudi.

"I express to the Libyan people my apologies for the unjust arrest of Libyan diplomats by Geneva police," he said.

Libya responded to the arrests last year by suspending oil deliveries to Switzerland and withdrawing assets worth an estimated five billion euros from Swiss banks

PS My Dad owns a Petro Station and he wouldn't even bail me out after a DUI.
Hannibal is so lucky his Dad loves him !
