Terrorist attack on US marines in Lebanon
My dear friend at Bare Naked Islam has a post about Obama that is so horrible. Once again he is showing what an evil vile person he is and how he hates our country and our troops. ~ Wild Thing
Obama and his pro-Islamic Department of Justice (DOJ), have stabbed the families of the Beirut bombing victims in the back. Just like he did the families of the 911 victims, when he had the DOJ fill a brief to shield the Saudi Royal Family from any 911 lawsuits. Any questions where his loyalties lie?
OBAMA has his administration are going to court to try to block payments from Iranian assets that lawyers for the dead Marines’ families want seized as restitution for the terrorist attack on the Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983. Obama is contending that ‘it would jeopardize sensitive negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program and establish a potentially damaging precedent.’
Adding insult to infamy, 26 years after attack on Marine barracks in Beirut, families stymied again in bid for restitution, this time by Barack HUSSEIN Obama.
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.
“It is offensive that our government – the government that [the Marines] were fighting for, who sent them there – are against us collecting from Iran,’’ Devlin said in an interview this week. “I felt justice was going to be served, but so far it hasn’t.’’
“We can’t go on with our lives,’’ said Marlys Lemnah, 62, of St. Albans, Vt., whose husband, Richard, a Marine sergeant nearing his 20-year retirement, was killed in Beirut. “It’s not about the money. We need something tangible: responsibility and accountability. We will fight until we have no more fight left.’’
The lawsuit, specialists say, also demonstrates the enormous difficulty for terrorism victims in general to collect damages. Despite a host of court rulings in its favor and legislation passed by Congress to make it possible to sue foreign governments that sponsor terrorism, the executive branch has long resisted such payments, arguing that seizing the assets of another country could restrict the president’s ability to conduct diplomacy. There are also significant legal disagreements over what kind of assets can be seized.
Two branches are supporting [the families’] position and the executive branch is directly trying to undermine them. Even the courts have grown frustrated. Royce C. Lamberth, chief judge of the US District Court in Washington who ruled in favor of the Beirut families, wrote in a Sept. 30 opinion that “these case have consumed substantial judicial resources while achieving few tangible results for the victims.’’ READ MORE: BOSTON GLOBE

Wild Thing’s comment……..
This makes my blood boil!
Not a day passes that the muslim usurper doesn’t do something disgusting beyond belief. Obama wants the love and respect of that bloody fascist jihadi dictatorship and doesn’t give a damn about the people in his own country.
Obama is the most dangerous person in and to our country. Much more then any terrorist!!!!
My family is tied to the Marines. I had a cousin who had just been in Lebanon right before that dreadful bombing. I cried so hard because they messed with my family. How dare they and how dare Obama not stand up for our military? How dare he stab them in the back? But he already stated in his book that he would stand with his Muslim brothers, so that’s par for the course. He hates our military and everything they stand for.
obama is a muslim.
Probably just as villianous in this matter is the news media which makes no mention of this news. It would hurt their boy obama. If the MSM was not so absolutely bias there would not be a president obama. Everyone would know about his background and associates.
When incidents like this started to appear, early in his Administration, I thought that his lack of experience was to blame, or that he was suffering from poor advice.
Now we have a pattern of Anti- American, Anti-Military, and Anti-Constitutional behavior. We see the true measure of this Traitor.
This man needs to be Impeached, the sooner the better.
His shit list is getting longer and longer and his list of enemies grows. This despicable bastard. Does he really think by paying ‘tribute’ to Iran that that will make them do what he wants.
Last I read Iran is full speed ahead on their quest for nuclear weapons. He has recreated the illusion of the paper tiger..
Taqyya Chrissie, the muzzie knows he’s safe amongst the Eunuchs of Congress. Just who will impeach him? Certainly not the Senate and the House which is solidly behind him, he doesn’t fear anything in the media, he enjoys complicity from both political parties, life is good in the new caliphate. We can’t even get our shit together to mount a recall election.
I am so looking forward to his execution.
The enemy is at 1600 PA ave and I stongly suspect that before long a bunker mentality will set in there as more and more Americans turn against this enemy of the people.
I agree, his list of wrongs and crimes, and
treason gets longer and longer each day.
Satan must be smiling, at his best student
Obama.
Obama Surrenders to the Taliban!!!
From http://theobamafile.com/ObamaLatest.htm, 11/23/09, Military:
“Obama Offers Taliban 25% Of Afghanistan
ThreatsWatch.org is reporting that the MEMRI Blog highlights an article from the Saudi al-Watan in Arabic that, according to the Afghan source, the United States is talking to the Taliban seeking to trade control of five provinces in exchange for the cessation of attacks on US bases. MEMRI summarizes:
An Afghan source in Kabul reports that U.S. Ambassador in Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry is holding secret talks with Taliban elements headed by the movement´s foreign minister, Ahmad Mutawakil, at a secret location in Kabul. According to the source, the U.S. has offered the Taliban control of the Kandahar, Helmand, Oruzgan, Kunar and Nuristan provinces in return for a halt to the Taliban missile attacks on U.S. bases.
Kunar province borders the Khyber Pass region where the majority of US and NATO supplies pass en route from Pakistan. And the remaining four provinces constitute fully the southern 25% of Afghanistan´s territory.
This, if true, is a disturbing development.
I have tried to come up with scenarios of why someone would lie about it in a leak. What would be to gain? Who would gain, and what would they gain? Without sleeping on it, the options for such appear narrow at best.
What does seem logical is that an Afghan privy to the negotiations could have become (rightly) spooked that they might just pull it off, and leaked word in hopes that it might so anger American public opinion that the entire endeavor might be scrapped. That´s the most logical explanation for motivation I see at the moment.
It would also fit in consistently with Ambassador Eikenberry´s leaked cables recently railing against a “surge” in forces in Afghanistan. He wouldn´t voice such without thinking he has his hands on something else. Could this be it? The surrender of 25% of Afghan territory in exchange for some form of ceasefire?
These negotiations might explain Obama´s delay in responding to Gen. McChrystal´s request for reinforcements.”
Impeach Mr. Obama!
