Hot Air ^ | March 2, 2010 | Ed Morrissey

The Obama administration continued its “smart power” efforts with America’s closest ally by demanding that the UK negotiate with Argentina over the Falkland Islands. Hillary Clinton appeared with Argentina’s President Kristina Kirchner yesterday for a press conference in which she pushed for talks to settle the status of the islands — which the British already consider completely settled now.

last time I heard, the islands were british by right of conquest in the falklands war. IIRC argentina signed them away as part of the peace process.

how many times will the british have to slap the argentines around before they finally get it?

The only thing surprising is that Hillery didn’t
call it a COUP.

Hillary/Obama: an ABSOLUTE DISGRACE.

Over our loyalist ally!

The Brits should demand that we negotiate with Mexico over the status of the US southwest.

Well, you see, the British won the Falklands War, but it was Margaret Thatcher who did it. Therefore, to all Liberals, the victory was illegitimate, because it was done by a Conservative government. It was “unfair” and must be undone.

By now every single one of our allies must see the handwriting on the wall.

America is not your friend.

They supported an unconstitutional attempted takeover in Honduras, did anyone think they wouldn’t support this?

British are the big baddies of the world in Obama’s eyes and he will continue to ‘punish’ them.
