Obamination Administration Nixes Restitution for Marine Corps Victims of Islamic Terror

Posted by Van Helsing at November 24, 2009 10:13 AM

In case you were running low on reasons to loathe the Moonbat Messiah, here's a story that almost slipped by:

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.

All give some, and some gave all. But all Chairman Zero gives our troops is the short end of the stick. No wonder he's leaving them hanging in the breeze in Afghanistan, without the reinforcements they need and not allowed to fight back. If he just surrendered and brought them home, they'd be right here in front of us to remind us how disgracefully they've been treated.

A sick, tragic farce. Happy, liberals?

...it would jeopardize sensitive negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program...

It's the Iranians that should be the ones worried about jeopardized negotiations. They should be made to worry. This is such a travesty.

This is what happens over time when Congress starts to believe that the USA is a Democracy. Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to eat for dinner. When a Republic starts slipping into Democracy it is already too late and now we live in a Communist Oligarchy as a result. You had better be ready to fight for the Republic or you will spend the rest of your days in a REDpublic.

This is Viet Nam redux. I didn't believe this country could screw the military so badly again.

I was wrong.

Screw Iran. It's time we were the screwer and not the screwee. Israel will you please save us from these incompetent wusses.

"Happy, Liberals?"

As a matter of fact- yes, they are! How could they NOT be, having a President who enjoys giving the U.S. Military the same middle finger that "Liberals" have been giving them for decades?

In a perverse way, it's fun to see the Libs running from issue to issue, putting out a fire here only to have it pop up there.

After a while the excuses are beyond ludicrous. How many things must be "nuanced"? How many f-ups must be explained? How many times can they say "You're just to dumb to understand what we're really doing"?

Watch any news/talk show (esp. on Fox) when they have a liberal on. Some conservative guest will be making a point "...horrible foreign policy decisions by Obama..." and the lib will sit there with that "you stupid asshole" smile, shaking their head, waiting to spew their lock-step talking points.

ENOUGH! We see the enemy, and it is them! Obama has disgraced this nation ENOUGH! He has apologized for America ENOUGH. He has put our military at risk ENOUGH (gonna make a big Afghanistan announcement on DECEMBER 1st! But OH BOY, Obama-care...we CAN NOT WAIT on that!).

ENOUGH ENOUGH ENOUGH! Impeach Obama NOW! (And to the rest of them weasels, two words: 2010, baby!)

I realize it would come out of my pocket (in taxes) but if a jury awarded it and the administration decided that Iran did not have to pay, shouldn't the administration pay on behalf of Iran? After all they (Obamanation) are using the award as negotiating leverage not the families of the Marines.

Obama has decided to model his Presidency after that of Abe “The Railroad Lawyer” Lincoln. Now we see the battle lines being drawn as one-half of the USA is pitted against the other in what looks like will be Civil War Two. In reality, the developing battle in the USA is mentioned in the Communist Manifesto…

“Of all the classes that stand face to face with the bourgeoisie today, the proletariat alone is a genuinely revolutionary class. The other classes decay and finally disappear in the face of Modern Industry; the proletariat is its special and essential product. “
“The distinguishing feature of communism is not the abolition of property generally, but the abolition of bourgeois property. But modern bourgeois private property is the final and most complete expression of the system of producing and appropriating products that is based on class antagonisms, on the exploitation of the many by the few.”

So, the Oligarchy influences the “Proletariat” to rise up and smash the “Bourgeois” and take his property for “The Greater Good” and this is in fact what Lincoln did many times over at a cost of nearly a million lives. Lincoln rallied his “Proletariat” against the Southern “Bourgeois” and took their land. Don’t forget that Abe was a LAWYER but not just any sort of LAWYER he was a RAILROAD LAWYER. Abe became the King of Eminent Domain. What happened to American Citizens who did not accept the Railroad’s scant offer for their land?

In all of my studies, everything seems to boil down to the Lincoln Presidency and I have inferred that the Communist Manifesto was Lincoln’s great inspiration. Now, Obama stylizes himself after what appears to be America’s first Communist President. You must wake up now people before all of our back yards become war zones. The fight that is about to swell transcends the North and South but instead is based on all of the current divisions.

Race
Religion
Party
Abortion
Wealth

Most importantly all wars are waged over “Resource Control” so you had better “Man UP!”

Posted by: Snarky Basterd at November 24, 2009 12:19 PM


Iran is using the North Korean playbook - The Nuclear Rope-a-Dope. Drag out endless negotiations until they have enought material for a test nuke and a few more bombs. At that point, either the world will have to live with a nuclear armed Iran or Israel will take matters into its own hands before that happens. Unfortunately the most likely outcome is the latter option which will tank the world economy for years as Iran will set the Arab oil fields ablaze in retaliation.

Did Abe Lincoln and his 13th and 14th Amendments actually fee the slaves? Study the 13th Amendment and in direct text, we read…

“Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.”

The key word is emboldened above that being the word “EXCEPT” so read it and think. The 13th Amendment allows the GOVERNMENT to hold SLAVES and sex, race, age or religion are no obstacle in its doing so. The only requirement is that these slaves be convicted of a crime. Say, I was reading that “Tea Party Peopled” have been given the label of “American Terrorists” and so “Terrorism” is a crime and so well then “Tea Party People” can then be rounded up and put in “Chain Gangs”
COOL
Cool Hand Luke
We also see that Congress has a new “Enforcement Through Legislation” power given to itself in the same 13th Amendment. Naturally, here they can do as they see fit and throw anyone they choose into a “Chain Gang” so long as they vote 51% in favor. Yep, Abe’s solution was to make anyone a slave and all that need happen is that he or she be convicted of any crime. The EXCEPTION is exceptional!

Were you wondering where the stimulus money was going?

Chinese construction giant signed more than $2 billion worth of contracts in the US market.

China State Construction Engineering Corp, the largest contractor in China, has bagged a subway ventilation project worth about $100 million in New York's Manhattan area, marking the construction giant's third order in the United States' infrastructure space this year.

More proof that the USA has already been converted to Communism. We are not being converted because we have been converted. All that remains are the 1000's of Chinese ships landing at their terminals in the USA like Costco in California.

During the Bush watch, the Chinese boated in their own work force to build a new Chinese embassy in New York City. They didn't even have to build it in accordance with local building codes.

Pay attention foreign nationals OWN most of the important things in this nation. Most of those foreign nationals are Communists or at least sympathetic to that form of population control and disposal system!

So, Bush starts two wars, stretches the US military to the breaking point, orders longer and longer deployment stretches which leads to an increased rate of veterans leaving, and declares that recruitment goals were "exceeded" by cutting the goals to one-tenth of their previous level. And after all this, somehow the lack of manpower is Obama's fault?

"It's the Iranians that should be the ones worried about jeopardized negotiations. They should be made to worry."

The problem with leaning hard on Iran has been Russia. Push too hard and we'll push those two blocs into an outright alliance, and then Russia would be too happy to start outright building reactors and nukes for Iran. World politics is a delicate game.

Posted by: AlphaOmega at November 24, 2009 7:56 PM


The US military, as currently instituted, is not consistent with that of a communist oligarchy. Generally speaking, military officers have a far greater role in government policies in communist oligarchies. Also, generally speaking, communist oligarchies support mandatory military service and are use their military as a common component of internal security. Neither of these things are true of the US military.

My statements are purely about military policy; while you may or may not have valid points in other areas, the military policy of the US is not one of them.
