“Obama and Clinton are stinkin’ lairs.” Brits being Brits, it sounded much more dignified when they said it. But linguists say that’s an American English translation of what they said in English English.
To sum it up, the Brits said, “Hey, you stinkin’ liars, don’t complain that you didn’t know we were going to release the Lockerbie bomber. You guys were consulted every step of the way.”
The UK Daily Mail reports a story that’s getting very little traction from the American media:
President Obama and the US Secretary of State fuelled a fierce American backlash against Britain, claiming Abdelbaset Al Megrahi should have been forced to serve out his jail sentence in Scotland – but a senior Whitehall aide said their reaction was ‘disingenuous’.
British officials claim Mr Obama and Mrs Clinton were kept informed at all stages of discussions concerning Megrahi’s return.
The officials say the Americans spoke out because they were taken aback by the row over Megrahi’s release, not because they did not know it was about to happen.
‘The US was kept fully in touch about everything that was going on with regard to Britain’s discussions with Libya in recent years and about Megrahi,’ said the Whitehall aide.
‘We would never do anything about Lockerbie without discussing it with the US. It is disingenuous of them to act as though Megrahi’s return was out of the blue.
‘They knew about our prisoner transfer agreement with Libya and they knew that the Scots were considering Megrahi’s case.’
And while he was at it, the President said barely knew Van Jones. Met him once. Maybe. In passing.
Most. Transparent. Administration. In. History.
