Eric Holder is one person who should keep his mouth shut when it comes to justice. With his failure to prosecute one bush administration crime and with american interfeerance in other countries justice departments. His justice department has no credibility.

I was a high school senior when Pan Am flight 103 fell over Lockerbie, Scotland on DEC. 21, 1988.I'd turned 17 years old two days earlier and was probably on Christmas break. Unrelated: 0213274; watch?v=YsJyfJ0b-WA; 1611 US Hwy. 158; watch?v=RjG8AbnY1J4—despite building name changes; or 241-21-6505 turning 18 the day the "Clipper Maid of the Seas" came down. Still, Maxine Walden had the 5123 tel. suffix in 2011; oMETra has the MET of METLife. Rapper DMX: born Earl Simmons in Baltimore, 12/18/70

I was a high school senior when Pan Am flight 103 fell over Lockerbie, Scotland on DEC. 21, 1988. I recall watching a CBS News special report anchored by Dan Rather with the earliest word of the crash. I'd turned 17 years old two days earlier and was probably on Christmas break. Unrelated: 0213274; 1611 US Hwy. 158; watch?v=RjG8AbnY1J4—despite building name changes; or 241-21-6505 turning 18 the day the "Clipper Maid of the Seas" came down.

The US government did not allow the funding of IRA. A small minority of Irish-Americans did the funding. Learn your facts straight. By that logic, Robert Gates statement that NATO was not picking up the work was justified(i do) because when it comes to NATO action, the US does all the dirty work then get's blamed by the same people who refuse to do the dirty work and asked us to take the lead

I say end NATO and let the world do what they want.

USA flys drones out of there, but no troops. There was a skirmish in May of 2008... I think Zahire said something like we will defend our sovereignty even against our friends to explain why Pakistani and USA troops were firing at each other .

USA harbours Luis Posada Carriles, regarded by many as a terrorist.

Now China are building a navy; estimates are that their military will surpass USA in about 20 years. Escalate world tension and this is bound to happen.

Have a nice day.

On some things I totally agree with you. I think the war on drugs is a complete waste of time,effort and money. I think we should have never set foot in Iraq. As for us killing Bin Laden in Pakistan, we already had troops operating in Pakistan. It wasn't like that was the first time we had ever entered Pakistan. If the U.S. was sheltering someone like him and another country that already had troops in the U.S. killed him I would have no problem with it.

You choose to confuse the UK with Scotland. That's your problem not mine.

If it is acceptable simply to walk into another country and kill whomsoever you please where does it stop? If another country went into America and killed someone they didn't like, is that acceptable to you? This so called "War on terror" like the "War on Drugs" has proved counter productive and escalated tension around the world. In my opinion both are scams. Stop selling "terrorists" weapons, I say.

@aqinthe I'm saying that: the prisoner was not released to facilitate an oil deal; the UK and USA governments were saying one thing in public, another in private and "in any case Bin Laden is nothing to do with us" (Scots).

Are you claiming that I support terrorism? "Have fun on the side of....." Well you can stick that right up your bottom. I'm not on your "side" and I'm not on the side of the "terrorists".

Are all Americans as simple as you?

[aqinthe]

I'm not suprised by your attitude. I know how the UK deals with crime and radical Islam.
