This Is How Wars Begin: The Falklands And Obama's Cluelessness

This just over the transom.

Going largely unnoticed here in the US, Argentina is rattling the saber over the Falkland Islands again.

And the Obama administration has decided to remain neutral!

This from the UK Telegraph:

The Obama administration’s decision to remain neutral in the dispute between Great Britain and Argentina over the Falkland Islands is a shameful decision that will go down very badly across the Atlantic. As The Times has just reported, Washington has point blank refused to support British sovereignty over the Falklands, and is adopting a strictly neutral approach.
In the words of a State Department spokesman:

“We are aware not only of the current situation but also of the history, but our position remains one of neutrality. The US recognises de facto UK administration of the islands but takes no position on the sovereignty claims of either party.”

The remarks had echoes of an earlier statement by a senior State Department protocol official who, when asked about the shoddy treatment of the British Prime Minister in March last year, responded:

“There’s nothing special about Britain. You’re just the same as the other 190 countries in the world. You shouldn’t expect special treatment.”

WHAT???!!!???
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? 
 
The silence of the Obama administration on this matter screams to the world about its amorality.

All that blather about 'self-determination' for this group and that around the world. The residents of the Falklands have made unmistakeably clear that they are British! And have zero desire to be joined to Argentina.

The UK has one destroyer in the port, and some troops on the island. They assumed they had an ally!

Obama's amorality will only embolden the hawks in a bankrupt Peronist Argentina, and strengthen Chavez's hand in South America. It's like 1937, all over again, only this time on the doorstep of North America. One timely visit by a US carrier group through the Gulf, and on down to the South Atlantic would save thousands upon thousands of lives.

Cowardice and amorality always pave the way to war. Always.

How did this country forget that?
