The Obama administration once again has sided with Argentina -- and by default, against Britain -- in the ongoing dispute over the island chain at the center of a 1982 war.
In a move one British conservative analyst called "hugely insulting to Britain," the Organization of American States earlier this week adopted a declaration calling for negotiations between the United Kingdom and Argentina over the "sovereignty" of the Falkland Islands. While the U.S. delegation did not speak in support of the measure, it ultimately joined a consensus adopting it.
However, Britain does not consider the sovereignty in question. After the British fended off an Argentine invasion of the nearby islands in 1982 -- a war in which hundreds died on both sides -- the government continues to assert control over the Falklands and grant islanders British citizenship.
Britain has resisted international calls for the two nations to negotiate the issue -- which makes the U.S. position all the more peculiar.
It appears that President Obama is attempting to surpass Jimmy Carter’s record for “Most Allies Abandoned by a One Term President”. – Ed.

Obama's goal is to destroy America I hope someone destroys Obama!
Obama's views are so warped, he will be recorded in history as the very worst President by far of any in our Country's existence.
Argentina is one of those countries that can always be counted on to stand by America. Support our goals. Send thousands of troops to fight alongside ours. Vote with us in the United Nations. Britain, however, is a feather in the wind. We never know how, or if, they will support us. Never really been our friend. Way to go obama. VERY smart move. The citizens of this country can ALWAYS count on you to show our allies our true colors. Our respect. Our intentions. Masterful stroke. Now, if you could just sneak a few nukes to Iran and help them quickly finish off Israel, well, your mission will be almost complete. Just a few more economic blows to the USA's midsection (maybe let Moody's downgrade our credit to junk status, or spend a couple more trillion we don't have) nad VOILA!! you will have finished your work in grand fashion. You MUST be SO proud!!
