Let’s give the Muslim-Brotherhood-run Egyptian Government “Blind Sheikh” Omar Abdel-Rahman.
The U.S. State Department is actively considering negotiations with the Egyptian government for the transfer of custody of Omar Abdel-Rahman, also known as “the Blind Sheikh,” for humanitarian and health reasons, a source close to the the Obama administration told TheBlaze.
The Department of Justice, however, told TheBlaze that Rahman is serving a life sentence and is not considered for possible “release.” Previous calls to the State Department were referred to the Department of Justice and so far, the State Department has neither confirmed nor denied the report. […]
A veteran intelligence analyst and researcher for TheBlaze said he met with an official within the Obama administration who told him the transfer of the Blind Sheikh to Egypt is something that is being “actively considered” by the administration as a solution to the ongoing crisis in the Middle East. His source asked not to be identified.
When asked if the transfer of the convicted terrorist was being seriously considered, the intelligence analyst said yes, according to his source, who stressed that the move, if executed, was not intended to take place or be announced until after the presidential election.
He also said it is likely that the riots and unrest in the Middle East are related to efforts pressing for the release of Rahman, not the anti-Muslim YouTube clip that the Obama administration is adamant sparked the chaos.
Roger Kimball comments
I thought a line had been crossed when sheriffs showed up at midnight to bundle away a man who had made an anti-Islamic movie that embarrassed the President. Then there was the murder of our Ambassador and three other Americans in Libya: the administration’ response: blame Romney, apologize for the “hurt the religious feelings of Muslims.”
Will there ever be a last straw for the MSM that is acting as Obama’s press corps? Is there anything Obama could do that would make them say “Enough!” and stand up for America?
Um, no. Those media lips marks on Obama’s ass don’t lie.
h/t Fausta
Is there anything Obama could do that would make them say “Enough!” and stand up for America?
The only thing Jugears could do is to throw his media lapdogs under the bus. But he will never do that, so long as they never write anything which might upset or inconvenience him.
For humanitarian and health reasons? Because everyone knows Egypt has the world’s best medical care.
On a positive note, after a year of green on blue the US will NOW…JUST NOW stop joint patrols with Afghanistani forces. (Now that the casualty accrual has been noticed!)

“”The order effectively suspends ‘until further notice’ most of the operations which US and Afghan troops conduct side by side,” CBS News reported today. “At higher headquarters, Afghans and Americans will still work together, but in the field small unit operations putting Afghan soldiers alongside Americans … will be suspended unless an exception is granted by a commanding general.”
Hell, Squid, he doesn’t have to throw them under the bus. They throw each other under it —willingly.
America LOVES YOU Frankenstein!
Or I guess he’d be more “Mr. President” than “Frankenstein”. Does that make Mitt Frankenstein? And will he win his hand shake?
So are we having a peek at the type of damage Obama will do between his loss on Nov 6th and Romney’s inauguration? Seriously, what could be more damaging than the recent national security leaks (including giving the names of SEAL Team 6 to Hollywood), pretending that recent embassy attacks & riots are over a movie, and negotiating with terrorists?
Q: Is Mullah Omar still alive?
A: Yes, Mullah Omar is alive.
Q: Why is he still alive?
A: Because Osama bin Laden! What, that’s not enough for you bloodthirsty American bastards?
– Could things be any more fucked up? Someone should do a Youtube showing Jug Ears on a trapeez swinging back and forth over a Sharks doesal fin over and over, while he sings the French national anthem.
Back during the primary, this is similar to an argument I made to people taking the “Anybody but Obama … as long as it’s Romney/Santorum/Gingrich/etc.” I’d say, “So if it were Hillary Clinton running against Obama, you’d vote for her? You’d be OK with that Not-Obama?”
“Well, no, of course not that socialist bint, she’s no better.”
“So then, you’d be OK if the Not-Obama named Sarah Palin were nominated?”
“God, what an idiot, she’s better than Clinton, but no not her.”
“Okay, so how about if Ron Paul were the nominee, he’d be a Not-Obama.”
“Ugh, that racist isolationist loon? No way!”
“So you really don’t mean, ‘Anybody but Obama’, you mean ‘the Particular Somebody who agrees with me most of the time’. So how is that different than any other election?”
“You don’t get it, we have to defeat Obama! And only Romney/Santorum/Gingrich/my particular choice can do it!”
Obama is the Particular Somebody the MSM has deemed worthy of support. No amount of argument or reason will dissuade them. Their fealty is based on self-interest, not principle, and as such can only be changed by outbidding their current master.

You (wrong kind of) bitter clingers need to get over your First Amendment fetish.
I notice you have to cite TheBlaze. Anyone else have this story? Anyone?
“Vote early, and vote the way I tell you to…peckerheads.”
– And here you all thought the Jackass party had turned over every possible illegal vote rock already. Silly peoples.
Let Ms. Chayes reckon with “Three generations of imbeciles are enough.”
– di, the American press is in full court press blackout mode on the total fucking foreign policy mess re Jug ears. If you want anything at all you have to get it from foreign press sources.
Dog bites man: Emails reveal Justice Dept. regularly enlists Media Matters to spin press
He does it all the time, but their Battered Spouse Syndrome won’t let them file for the restraining order.
di, the source is Beck’s. If anyone else is working this, I haven’t seen it.
There’s less there than meets the headline. Note the phrase “actively considering negotiations.”
– As more and more shit burbles to the surface, at some point the treacherous press will shift to survival mode and try to distance themsleves from bummblefuck and his clown car administration.
– They’re nothing if not back stabbing when the going gets rotten.
– The Lefturd crap holes like NYT, MSNBC, HuffPoop, and Media Matters will go down with the ship, rather than turn, because, Soros.
Why call in the Jimmy Carter Jr-Jr-Jr brigade to save the day.

Beck heard back from DOJ and they say it’s “absolute garbage”. FWIW. But I’m glad they’re on record.
Greetings:
To paraphrase Will Rogers, all I know is what I see on TV. And Egypt’s Mr. Morsi seems to me to running an Islamaniac version of “good cop–bad cop”. No doubt, Mr. Morsi, not unlike every other Islamic ruler, has his basic “what can I get from the “kuffar” today list” tucked into one of his rapidly filling pockets for easy access. Whether its money, guns, a blind sheik or two, there always something that the kuffar might think worthy of some ameliorating emollient. So, out come the even thuggier islamo-thugs and you get to make your choice as in “Me, or them?”. Now, being cut from somewhat similar but less pretty cloth than our own President Obama, there’s a bit of irony involved as Mr. Obama has on at least one occasion revealed himself by telling some bankers that he was all there was “between them and the pitchforks”.
Arab Springtime for Islamists
Back when Bill Clinton was being accused of fathering a child with some Arkansas prostitute, Jay Leno put it this way, “Hey, who you gonna believe? Some two dollar hooker or the President of the United States?”
The story about the Blind Sheik may not be true, but one of the problems is that there’s almost no reason to believe Obama wouldn’t do exactly what’s being reported.
After all, he sees the Iran/Israel standoff as a win/win. If Israel doesn’t attack Iran, then at some point Iran attacks Israel virtually wiping it off the map. Or Israel does attack Iran, and the millions of crazy Islamists surrounding Israel launch a million rockets at Israel virtually wiping it off the map. To Obama, it’s a win/win.
I’m still in complete shock that our government and talking heads are actively squashing the 1st Amendment. It’s bewildering – these same entities who would ridicule any other religion besides Islam ? They appear to have zero problems with the screaming hypocrisy of their statements …and yet Obama is still up in the polls?
What planet are we living on? Everyone I talked to at work is in shock and so stressed they are having anxiety issues (just like Jeff, can’t be a coincidence)
Now granted, the people around here are rural hayseeds. So I guess our shock and fear is misplaced. If we lived in New York we would be totally fine right?
Those media lips marks on Obama’s ass don’t lie.
Wrong body part.
“Beck heard back from DOJ and they say it’s “absolute garbage”. FWIW. But I’m glad they’re on record.”
Um, I thought STATE was the one accused of actively considering such negotiations? So, what did the Dept of the Interior, OSHA, and Domino’s Pizza have to say?
This will not happen until after the election (if Obama wins). It is a Muslim Marc Rich move. you would not understand.
I want to hear it from Barack Obama, don’t discount it until you do.
Free speech is not highly valued by fascist regimes. It’s always worth noting that Orwell’s 1984 imagined a nation controlled by Progressive Socialists (INGSOC = English Socialism). In the totalitarian utopia sought by Progressives, only speech that serves the interest of the State is worth protecting.
palaeomerus, the original article stated that DOJ was on it, not DOS.
“Hey, embassies are burning, Americans are dead! So what is Obama going to do?”
Go on Letterman, party with Jay-Z?
Again?
State referred Beck to the DOJ. He makes the same point that this doesn’t exactly answer the question. But it does get DOJ on the record insisting it will never happen.
“The U.S. State Department is actively considering negotiations with the Egyptian government for the transfer of custody of Omar Abdel-Rahman, also known as “the Blind Sheikh,” for humanitarian and health reasons, a source close to the the Obama administration told TheBlaze.

Yeah I bet the FDA could deny such talks are taking place too.
The FDA doesn’t have custody of Abdel-Rahman.
The FDA could send out pictures on the interwebs of Abdel-Rahmen stamped “Not Halal”, for the lulz.
The scary part is, all of us can absolutely picture this happening under the President Putt’s watch. It would be surprising but not inexplicable, like it would be under a Republican administration.
I’m still in complete shock that our government and talking heads are actively squashing the 1st Amendment.
Why? They’ve been perverting the 1st Amendment for decades. This is the destination they’ve been gunning for all along. But you were a racist or a tin-foil-hat conspiracy theorist for saying so.
Beck heard back from DOJ and they say it’s “absolute garbage”. ….”
Um, I thought STATE was the one accused of actively considering such negotiations?
State will neither confirm nor deny.
“The FDA doesn’t have custody of Abdel-Rahman.”
And Justice is not negotiating. State is.
Alleged to be.
