Blood For Oil
Sounds like the Bush-Blair era is officially over. Times of London: Britain sent back the Lockerbie bomber to curry favor in a Libyan-BP oil deal.
Remember when the United States and Britain used to make murderous, terrorism-supporting dictators tremble? They even made Moammar Ghadafi cry uncle and the Iranians bring their nuke program to a temporary halt back in 2003, when they took out Saddam. It was another time, when people used to say it was all about blood for oil. We didn’t actually get any oil for that blood. But in a new, gentler time, apparently it’s possible to swap mass murderers for oil. Think of the possibilities.
