US sides with Argentina over Falklands/Malvinas

Normally I would be condemning this latest betrayal of Obama, but in this case I am laughing. The UK government has been pushing Israel to give territory to the Arabs. Well what’s good for the goose, is good for the gander. The Organization of American States with the backing of Obama, have called on Britain to negotiate the status of the the Malvinas/Falklands Islands with Argentina.

President Obama was effusive in his praise for the Special Relationship when he visited London recently, but his administration continues to slap Britain in the face over the highly sensitive Falklands issue. Washington signed on to a “draft declaration on the question of the Malvinas Islands” passed by unanimous consent by the General Assembly of the Organisation of American States (OAS) at its meeting in San Salvador yesterday, an issue which had been heavily pushed by Argentina. In doing so, the United States sided not only with Buenos Aires, but also with a number of anti-American regimes including Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela and Daniel Ortega’s Nicaragua.

The declaration calls for Argentina and Great Britain to enter into negotiations over the sovereignty of the Falklands, a position which London has long viewed as completely unacceptable. It also comes in the wake of increasing aggression by the Kirchner regime in the past 18 months, including threats to blockade British shipping in the South Atlantic.

If Israel has to negotiate with the Arabs over land, well the UK should negotiate with Argentina in their land dispute. I feel no pity for the British government over this issue. Now what they have done to Israel, will be done to them.
