Well, duh! He hates American exceptionalism and believes we do not need European allies. Our buddies are the rest of the world and he intends to prove it. Just so we understand where he is coming from, I fully expect him to suggest giving Mexico at least “special” rights in Arizona and New Mexico before 2012. Should cement his standing with the illegal immigrant voters.

“This is how Obama repays Britain for continuing to support our special relationship and providing thousands of British soldiers to lay their lives on the line alongside their American allies on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan.”

Probably not for much longer…..the British troops will probably be re-deployed to the Falklands.

Britain probably won’t support Britain in the Falklands, either. Not this time.

I can hear Declan McManus tuning up his guitar:

Is it worth it?
A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
And a bicycle on the boy’s birthday
It’s just a rumour that was spread around town
By the women and children
Soon we’ll be shipbuilding…….
Well I ask you
The boy said “Dad they’re going to take me to task, but I’ll be back by Christmas”
It’s just a rumour that was spread around town
Somebody said that someone got filled in
For saying that people get killed in
The result of this shipbuilding
With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls
It’s just a rumour that was spread around town
A telegram or a picture postcard
Within weeks they’ll be re-opening the shipyards
And notifying the next of kin
Once again
It’s all we’re skilled in
We will be shipbuilding……..
With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls.

It was totally predictable.
The Obamunists in the state department haven´t learned their lesson from their fiasco in Honduras. They just love to make their friend, Hugo Chávez feel good, not to mention the leftists Kirchners who mismanage Argentina.
Fortunately, Sebastian Piñera becomes president of Chile in 2 weeks and will continue äir communications to the Falklands.
To the Brits, I say, ¨Remember 1982 and Drill, BABY, DRILL !

Somehow I think Chavez won Obama’s everlasting affection with that “sulfur” remark (or possibly it was that moment when Pat Robertson suggested offing the guy and everyone gave him a funny look because Chavez hadn’t yet gone so visibly off the deep end) and as a result Obama can’t bring himself to raise a finger against the man. Whether it’s ruthless crackdowns in his own Venezuela or trouble-making in Costa Rica and now Argentina, it’s all good with Obama, apparently.

They have decided that our Chicago agitator is low class, spineless, and lacking even a hint of decency, a modern liberal. So why not they ask?
This is no way to earn the respect of that mysterious entity called “The World” that insane liberals are always blubbering about. Talk about sending messages !

are worthless lefty drones. We cannot get rid of the entire machine fast enough.

Brezhnev took Afghanistan
Began took Beirut
and Gal-t-ier-i took
the Union Jack …. (Roger Waters)

Talk about a slap in the face. Guess the kids at State never got over Ronnie supporting Maggie.

1) The Administration will support the party that is more leftist.

2) If neither is recognizably left of the other, then it’s kowtow to the more “stable” (i.e. totalitarian) party.

3) If still unclear, then the nod goes to the favored “oppressed by the West” group.

What’s wrong with Britain? They’re a a bunch ingrates. Why can’t they be happy with an iPod loaded withThe One’s greats hits, a few videos on NTSC format, and their Churchill bust back. The nerve of these guys asking for more.

During the first Falklands war, The United States declared neutrality. We did help the UK under the table, but we were declared neutral. There were three reasons for the declaration 1) was that we were and are allies of both countrys; and 2) If we declared in favor of a European power, we would be toast in the OAS; and 3) the Monroe doctrine forbade us from backing a non-western hemisphere country against a western hemisphere country (unless by not doing so could cause immediate danger to the US or US interests.

Thanks for the sentiments. It’s good to know we have friends in the US. The President could so easily have shown more support for his ally. Hundreds of British troops have died in Iraq and Afghanistan. US troops will see British troops fighting and dying alongside them, not Argentinian. The US has more in common with countries which share it’s values, culture and history, than those which simply share it’s continental land mass. The Falklanders want to be British, as they have been since 1833, that should be paramount.
