Do you seriously expect anyone, and I mean anyone, to take Barack Hussein Obama seriously? Well apparently the freedom loving “rebels” of the Libyan version of the “Arab Spring” agree, they don’t take Obama seriously either.
According to news reports from BBC, FOX News and others , ” Members of the Transitional National Council (TNC) said they would reject any attempt to return Megrahi to prison in Scotland.
In case you’ve forgotten who Megrahi is, here is a quick update courtesy of Wikipedia:
Abdelbaset Mohmed Ali al-Megrahi ( born 1 April 1952) is a Libyan citizen, alleged former intelligence officer, former head of security for Libyan Arab Airlines and former director of the Centre for Strategic Studies in Tripoli, the capital of Libya. On 31 January 2001, Megrahi was convicted, by a panel of three Scottish judges sitting in a special court at Camp Zeist in the Netherlands, of 270 counts of murder for the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, on 21 December 1988 and was sentenced to life imprisonment
Hassan al Sagheer, a member of the TNC and a legal expert, said, “Libya has never extradited or handed over its citizens to a foreign country. We shall continue with this principle.””
What would the media have said if Bush was the one helped the rebels and in return they continue to harbor a terrorist who killed 200 Americans?
The pesky little fact that Libya and the UK have ratified an extradition treaty does not seem to interfere with Libya Transitional National Council’s committment to protect Libya’s most notorious terrorist.
And oh yeah..there’s that one other thing : Without our air power, Hassan al Sagheer, the assorted other dirt bags that comprise the Transitional National Council (TNC) and the ragtag band of terrorists that Barack Hussein Obama is desperately trying to bring to power in Libya would right about now confront the cruel reality that the promised 72 virgins in fact have horns a pointy tail and their favorite past time activity is pouring fiery brimstone down your throat for all eternity.

Here is the article form FoxNew.com
Libya’s new government will refuse to hand over Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al Megrahi if Britain seeks his extradition, The (London) Sunday Times reported, citing senior officials.
Members of the Transitional National Council (TNC) said they would reject any attempt to return Megrahi to prison in Scotland.
Hassan al Sagheer, a member of the TNC and a legal expert, said, “Libya has never extradited or handed over its citizens to a foreign country. We shall continue with this principle.”
That is despite the UK and Libya having ratified an extradition treaty in 2009.
A senior judge who took part in the early stages of the uprising that has toppled dictator Muammar al-Qaddafi emphasized another reason why Megrahi would not be sent to Britain or, as some US politicians have demanded, America — the bomber is a member of one of the largest tribes that sided with Qaddafi during the revolt.
“Any move to hand him back would cause internal conflict at a time when we are trying to bridge differences,” the judge said.
Megrahi, who was controversially released from a Scottish prison in 2009 on humanitarian grounds as he battled cancer, was convicted of killing 270 people in the notorious 1988 Pan Am airplane bombing.
Sagheer’s comments also come as a blow to the family of policewoman Yvonne Fletcher, who was shot dead outside the Libyan embassy in London in 1984.
British police investigating Fletcher’s murder first flew to Libya in 2002 and have interviewed 47 witnesses and suspects. The Qaddafi regime halted inquiries last year. It was revealed last week that Abdulmagid Salah Ameri, a junior diplomat, and Abdel Gader Tuhami, a student without diplomatic status, had both been identified as suspects.
