Why Israel and Britian are NOT coming to Obama's Nuke Summit

London Times

Britian - Twenty-eight years after the outbreak of the Falklands conflict, lack of US backing for Britain’s recapture of the islands has many in Britian calling the Obama Administration’s foreign policy team “a bunch of amateurs” for failing to support Britain over Argentina once again. Twenty-eight years later David Cameron faces a more equivocal US Administration as a potential Conservative prime minister. In an interview this week he said that Britain should “frankly and candidly say we’re disappointed” with Washington’s call for negotiations on the Falklands’ future even though the islanders do not want them

Israel -  Prime Minister Netanyahu, unwilling to be shunned again by Obama, and humiliated at a conference attended  by many Arab states, will instead send a Deputy in his place. Has the Prime Minister stated Monday, “We encounter in the best case a limp reaction, and even that is fading,” Netanyahu said. “If we have learned anything from the Holocaust, it is that we must not be silent or be deterred in the face of evil.”

"The world gradually accepts Iran's statements of destruction against Israel and we still do not see the necessary international determination to stop Iran from arming," Netanyahu said, calling on "all enlightened countries" to strongly condemn Iran and act with "genuine determination" to prevent it from building nuclear weapons.

Meanwhile in Obamaland, its be good to the bad, and bad to the good, its topsy turvy time...

stop the ride, I am not amused any more...

  1. I haven't really bothered to follow what is going on in the Falklands now, but I do remember an interesting story about the invasion back in 1982. Someone was talking with Galtieri, I can't remember who, and Galtieri was of the opinion that they might get away with taking the islands. The someone explained to him th enature of Prime Minister Thatcher, that she had let some four IRA prisoners on hunger strike starve themselves to death without batting an eyelash.
    Obama is finding that snubbing your allies will not keep your friends , and being nicey nice to enemies sure doesn't make them nicer back. Well, maybe he hasn't learned yet. No, he really doesn't get it yet, does he?
