Disgusting is only one word to describe this
Quote:
Adding insult to infamy
26 years after attack on Marine barracks in Beirut, families stymied again in bid for restitution
On Veterans Day, Christine Devlin stood in the cold in Westwood for the unveiling of a new memorial to local soldiers lost overseas, including her son Michael, one of the 241 servicemen killed in the bombing of the US Marine barracks in Lebanon in 1983.
Devlin is among 30 Massachusetts relatives of victims of the Beirut attack who have been fighting for more than a decade to get compensation for what many consider the first major terrorist attack against the United States. After a federal judge ruled in 2007 that Iran was liable for $2.65 billion in damages to be shared by 150 families seeking restitution, they believed they were on the cusp of victory.
But now, the Obama administration is going to court to try to block payments from Iranian assets that the families’ lawyers want seized, contending that it would jeopardize sensitive negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program and establish a potentially damaging precedent.
In a little-noticed filing in federal court, the Justice Department is arguing that giving the money to the victims “can have significant, detrimental impact on our foreign relations, as well as the reciprocal treatment of the United States and its extensive overseas property holdings.’’
The Obama administration’s position is a blow to those like Devlin, who is still waiting for some measure of justice for her son, who was 21 when Hezbollah terrorists rammed a suicide truck bomb into the peacekeepers’ headquarters.

Don't look at me, brother. The day I say I believe that any lefty supports the military, feel free to look for lobotomy scars on my forehead.

And now...how much of that payout will be diverted to 1) ACORN and 2) Obama's war chest?
I can easily see that happening.

I truly hate this son-of-a-bitch, and his wife, who dresses like a streetwalker from Chicago's south side.

Isn't this to be expected? Really if you have read any of his books, any of the many excepts that have been posted all over the internet, it would be expected from a man who wrote
"I would stand with the muslims if it comes to that".
What do you think that means?

On an unrelated subject, has anyone else noticed the way Obastard whistles when he pronounces 's' and similar letters? The man whistles like a Nor'easter blowing through a crack in a window. Drives me bonkers. It's like hearing nails on a blackboard. Aaarrrghhh!

Do you remember how Clinton would sort of smack his lips when he would talk. THAT drove me crazy. I have probably missed Obama's speech impediment cause i cannot stand to see the guy on TV or listen to him.

I instantly change the channel or mute the sound whenever I see his image on the tube. Like Maggie, his voice grates on me like fingernails on a blackboard.

What did the Bush administration do for these people? Or Clinton, under whose watch the 1993 terrorist attack occurred, for that matter?

I haven't researched it, but I suspect that the dem congress wouldn't approve it. But I stand to be corrected.

The Republicans were in control of all or part of Congress during much of both the Clinton and Bush administrations. This may come as news to you, however, thanks to the RINOs who were all too willing to "compromise in the spirit of bipartisanship."

I'm aware of that, but like I said, I have not researched this matter.
Won't have time tomorrow - smoking a turkey for Thanksgiving!
