Bloomberg didn't get the deal he wanted
So like most spoiled children he has declared that the Feds can't play in his city.
The Obama administration on Wednesday lost its most prominent backer of the plan to try the self-described mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks in Lower Manhattan when Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said the trial should not be held in New York City.It was not mentioned what the White House failed to give one of America's richest men that pissed him off, but the Legion of Pants Pissers immediately jumped on His Dishonors remarks to crow their cowardly objections as well. The sooner the trials begin, the sooner we can end the yellow bellied whining of the Never Right wing.
The mayor’s reversal was a political blow to the White House’s efforts to resolve a landmark terror case a few blocks from where Al Qaeda hijackers rammed planes into the World Trade Center, a trial that the president saw as an important demonstration of American justice.
Mr. Bloomberg said that a more secure location, like a military base, would be less disruptive and less costly. His remarks echoed growing opposition from Wall Street executives, the real estate industry and neighborhood groups, who have questioned the burdens that such a trial would bring to a heavily trafficked area of the city.
