Obama Insults Britain... Again

No surprise.  Niles Gardiner reports:

Barack Obama recently declared himself to be “neutral” on the Falklands, which is bad enough. But he is more than just “neutral”. His administration is actively siding with Argentina’s calls for a negotiated settlement. This is a position that Britain views as completely unacceptable, and with good reason. Over 95 percent of the inhabitants of the Falklands are British, and wish to remain under the protection of the British Crown. They have no desire to live under the boot of Argentina, and it is a clear-cut case of self-determination. The idea that the British should sit down with the Argentines to negotiate the future of the Falkland Islands is simply preposterous.

Earlier this week the US president caused huge offence in Poland by referring to “Polish death camps” during World War Two. Just two days later his government has slapped another US ally in the face, yet again, over the Falklands. Mr. Obama should remember that more than 250 British servicemen gave their lives in 1982 to liberate the Falklands following the Argentine invasion. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten by the British people, and the suggestion that what they fought for should be negotiated away is both insensitive and insulting on the part of the Obama administration.  (continue, blogs, Telegraph)

EXACTLY RIGHT NILE!!!

And when Romney is in the White House I do hope that our dear allies across the pond will consider lending us, once again, the bust of Churchill - a great citizen of Great Britain, and the United States (honorary- see Susan North on this website).

Here's to hoping these idiotic and treacherous stances will finally make all the idiots around the globe who thought he was such a wonderful fellow think again about him.

In most instances you can trust America led by a Republican, but not a democrat, the only thing you can be sure of is that the fellow will screw you, sooner or later.
