#1 Obama probably considers our 'strict neutrality' a favor. Well, it wasn't like the Europeans and the UK weren't warned.

The Falklands dispute is bull, as far as I can tell. Reawakening a border/possession dispute from 1833 is unwise. No wonder all of South America supports it.

#4 United Kingdom Gallup poll July 23, 2008:
Q: Who would you personally rather see elected President of the US?
A: Obama 60%, McCain 15%.

Q: Do you think who is elected President of the US makes a difference to the UK or not?
A: Yes 80%, No 17%

Well the Brits got 1 out of 2 right. Fail.

#5 Noteworthy from the article's comments section:

"Cross-posted from Nile Gardiners blog on the subject:
What is even sadder is that the Obama Administration would remain just as strictly neutral in a sovereignty dispute between the USA and Mexico over Texas, California, Arizona and New Mexico."

#6 No real suprise here. I wouldnt trust Obama to look after a cup of water, neither would most sensible folk. Im sure we already knew which side of the bread his butter is on

So what if the majority of south america supports the argies. The place is ours , and they can "cry for me" all they like. (far too emotional, these latin americans)

We still have ascension island and can mobilise a substantial amount of airpower in that direction, along with ship reasonable ground forces, not that it will come to that imho

Was interesting to read a number of the blogs, and how people wanted good ol Bushie back in. He had his faults, but , and a major but , he was never treacherous or condescending
