Obama outdoes Kim Philby…
March 27, 2010 American Politics, Foreign Policy 1 CommentBy Glendronach
at least when it comes to destroying the US-UK “Special Relationship” that has been a linchpin of freedom for Western democracies. While the British Commons committee report cites policies during the Iraq war that strained the relationship (many of which are still practised by The One’s administration), it was drafted in the aftermath of Obama’s profoundly rude treatment of Gordon Brown and His tendency to treat Europe more as a speech backdrop than as allies. Contrast His eagerness to show off TOTUS in Berlin with His concessions to Moscow on missile defence.
And His reward for this? Getting the diplomatic equivalent of a wedgie from the Russians over the START treaty, among others. Who could have foreseen the image of an American president being held over a toilet bowl by global thugs like Putin and Ahmedinejad for a swirlie, to be followed by the theft of his lunch money?
