Title: The Falklands: Because pissing off Israel wasn't enough

It is hugely disappointing that the Obama administration has chosen once again to side not only with the increasingly authoritarian regime in Argentina, but also with an array of despots in Latin America against British interests. Mrs Clinton should be reminded that 255 brave British servicemen laid down their lives in 1982 for the freedom of the Falkland Islanders, who are overwhelmingly British, following the brutal Argentine invasion.

The sovereignty of the Islands is not a matter for negotiation, and Britain will never give in to threats from Argentina or its tyrannical allies in places such as Venezuela. The White House recently declared that Britain remains America’s most important ally. Now it should live up to its words by supporting Washington’s closest friend and partner on matters of vital British interest, including the future of British subjects living in the South Atlantic, whose only wish is to remain free under the protection of the Union Jack.

Next he'll be demanding the US return to pre-1835 borders.

How do you feel about him now, you dumb f'n liberal Brits?

Pres. Obama's always been anti-British so no great surprises there.

The liberal ones are generally keen to get rid of the Falklands (self-determination only applies to those who determine the 'right' way) so I doubt this will stop their adulation of him.

He's just bound and determined to ruin our relationship with our closest allies, isn't he?

I'll meet him halfway with a return to pre-1959 borders... before HI was a state.
