Obama's Sec.Clinton Dumps On Britain Over Falklands

If anyone thought that the United States was hated under George Bush, just imagine the hate that we have now under Obama. Oh wait, the tyrants and mass killers love us now as Obama is voicing his approval of their crushing of personal freedoms and rights. Chavez, Castro and the like are all we need to find love.

And of course, the Iranian freedom fighters really love us as Obama turned his back on them. Poland must have love for us too now, right? Hey, what's not to love about Obama?

Hillary’s Falklands Remarks Called ‘Betrayal’ of U.K.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has sparked tension with America’s closest ally, the United
Kingdom, over comments she made regarding Britain’s dispute with Argentina over the Falkland Islands. The islands in the South Atlantic have been a possession of Britain since 1833, and Britain went to war in 1982 to recapture the Falklands after Argentina — which claims the islands — invaded and seized them.

The sovereignty dispute took on new urgency recently when the U.K. decided to allow exploratory oil drilling 60 miles north of the islands, CNS News reported.
During her Latin American tour, Clinton stood beside Argentina’s President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in Buenos Aires on Monday, and heard Kirchner say she would like her country to negotiate with Britain over the islands within the framework of United Nations resolutions.
Clinton agreed that the two sides should “sit down” and negotiate, and added, “If we can be of any help in facilitating such an effort, we stand ready to do so.”

The Argentine ambassador to the U.S., Hector Timerman, said he had never before heard “such substantial support” of Argentina from the U.S. over the Falklands dispute, according to CNS News. A spokesman for the British government said in response to Hillary’s offer of American help, “We don’t think that’s necessary.”

Writing for Britain’s Daily Telegraph, Nile Gardiner — director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation — called Clinton’s remarks “an astonishing betrayal of the United Kingdom by her closest ally, and yet another slap in the face for Britain from the Obama administration.”

He added, “She is giving her full support for the official stance of Buenos Aires, despite the fact that Great Britain has made it clear that the sovereignty of the Falklands is non-negotiable.”
Clinton’s comments are not the first “slap in the face from the Obama administration,” as Newsmax reported earlier. When British Prime Minister Gordon Brown became the first head of government to visit the White House last year, Obama let out word that a bust of Winston Churchill that Prime Minister Tony Blair had presented to the U.S. as a gift from the British people had been returned to the British Embassy.

Obama also canceled a joint news conference with Brown and excluded British reporters from covering Obama’s press conference, an act the Daily Telegraph called “rudeness personified
towards Britain.”
