It is a fundamental disregard for loyalty to friends that bespeaks so much of this Administration’s broad approaches to foreign policy. The latest salvo in that saga of disloyalty came from the Secretary Clinton’s pronouncement that the United State was ‘neutral’ in the Falkland Islands sovereignty dispute between the UK and Argentina. What a contrast to the Reagan administration that backed our British allies to the hilt in the 1982 Falklands War when Argentina invaded the South Atlantic islands.
KsReaganite has often maintained that America has three close friends in the world: Israel, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. These are countries and people who have and will give us a hand even at a great cost to themselves. Sadly, President Obama has shows scant special regard to these relationships. As a senator, he voted to please the Armenian lobby by casting a vote to unnecessarily condemn Turkey for something that happened a hundred years ago; as president he banished the bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office while lecturing Israel on human rights.
This is not the way to treat friends.
