”proud of the progress our troops have made in dismantling al-Qaeda, breaking the Taliban's momentum and training Afghan forces“
We dismantling them but we use US taxpayers money to fund the friendly rebels in Lybia and Syria (which is a failure).
Really think the US will protect you if you invade RGs? As I have said before, the US will pubically say how unfortunate the whole thing is, whilst at the same time supplying us with intel and mid-air refuelling. Americans are kin, rebellious kin but kin none the less.

Mar 13th, 2012 - 09:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0This is all about getting Obama re-elected. Quite why Cameron would want that is beyond me. Cameron needs to scrap extradition treaty between US and UK, withdraw UK troops from Afghanistan, withdraw RN assets from Persian Gulf and protect BP from US Justice system intent on bankrupting an important part owned UK Company.
Iran - none of our business. Syria - desperate situation, but again none of our business. Foreign involvement would only make matters worse.
As for the economy - well UK outlook is certainly better than it was 6 months ago, more pain for sure but green shoots and all that.

If you remember / researched your modern history correctly ( I'm guessing you didn't ) then you will know that the Pentagon considered the re-taking of the Falkland Islands a military impossiblity.
So we can discount their view of what our armed forces can and cannot do thankyouohsoverymuch. You want to try again do you? All the armed forces of Argentina-land are good for is dying. Dying and then surrendering oh and the thing about your Special forces.
There are two types of special remember?
there is the special where you swing in through Embassy windows and rescue hostages and then there is the other type of special where you go You want fries with that dude? and I think I know which special Argentina's Special” forces fall under.........

Mar 13th, 2012 - 04:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0congratulations,
for your understanding before me on about coming black US president.
To be fair Obama does hate all things British, you only have to read his autobiography and the text of some of his speeches to realise this, particularly his public gaffs about British Petroleum. If it were up to Obama he'd happily hand the Falkland Islanders on a plate to Argentina. Now's the best time for CFK to go for it. Obama would do all that he could to back her. However, that wouldn't be very much, he's effectively a figure-head, he does what he's told by the American people and the American Government. Most American people and politicians have no love for failed South American ex-Spanish colonies. Possible exceptions being attention-seeking clowns like Sean Penn, and that bitter that old harridan Hilary Clinton. Good luck, with friends like those...
Mar 13th, 2012 - 04:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0'Obama would do all he could to back her?' - Not likely given America hates Argentina, how much does Argentina still owe them? Remind me and whats worse is America is now trying to grind its economic axe on Argentina.
Mar 13th, 2012 - 05:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Also it would signify the end of his political career to do that since a great deal of America has a strong love for the British.
- @23 - Hows it going McClick? Still pretending to be Scottish after you were outted yesterday as a Argentine?
I believe it has become quite clear that MrClick is a Bot - probably a project of some students studying artificial intelligence. The challenge is to produce an algorithm that interacts with real people without them noticing.
Mar 13th, 2012 - 06:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They used to appear on Guardian User Talk back in the day before it was closed. You can tell when it's going on by the responses that make no sense and bare no relevance to the matter being discussed.
I'd guess Mercopress was a good choice because there is very little intelligent discourse going on. Up against some of the real posters on here the posts are relatively sane so won't be as suspicious.
If this is the case then consider yourselves rumbled.
@25 Xect Obviously Obama was told he must ask CFK, on behalf of American investors, if she could possibly give back some of the money she stole from them. He probably doesn't expect to get it back, nor care either way, just doing what he's told to do. Did you not see the pictures of the Obama CFK Chavez love fest? http://www.upstreamonline.com/migration_catalog/article1228053.ece/ALTERNATES/section_main/Chavez+Kirchner

It’s a bit like Hugo Chavez and his credit card,
Is it not
Pre-election posturing by our commander in chief. He's trying to make it look like he's competent when it comes to foreign policy in the wake of a tanking approval rating. As to why Cameron seems so friendly, you have to take into account that Cameron has already pissed off several of Europe's leaders with his veto (rightly used in my opinion). If this election goes south and Obama gets another term, Cameron will be stuck with him, so its wise not to wear a scowl to the meeting. Don't read too much into this. If things go well, this guy will be a footnote of history books and we might get a president who actually knows what the hell he's doing.

#39 - You seem to be suffering from a mental disorder. If you truly do live in the USA, you're just another disgrace to our nation (just like Obama), trolling on the internet. I'm convinced if you do live here, you're an Argentine immigrant, in which case, please go back to your corrupt homeland. Who cares what Obama thinks? Obama only likes a select few. His radical, environmentalist friends, his feminist pawns and his stale Secretary of State. Leaders come and go. Historical and cultural bonds between people last forever. I know that isn't true in your case, because Spain really couldn't care less about the failed states it used to own, but we share a special relationship with Britain and all of the Anglosphere. Argentina cannot brag about any such relationship... and no, being a whore state to Venezuela isn't a special relationship. It's international prostitution.

@38 - You clearly do not understand politics.
Mar 14th, 2012 - 07:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0Generally the USA will remain neutral on a lot of subjects it is not directly involved in especially since the UK is clearly holding all of the aces in the diplomatic disagreement with Argentina. At the moment the UK has no need for the US's help and hence a neutral position especially in a area its trying to improve economic ties with.

#41 - Yes, you're right. They wouldn't get anywhere in British politics because we have a slightly different form of government which requires different types of politicians. Romney is the best guy for the job on offer because Obama has screwed up this country beyond belief and Romney is the only one who can beat him come election day. He's not the perfect candidate, but at least he categorically stands by our allies around the world. Obama does not.

Did you see today Obama trying to show the British burning the white house,, and the whit,
To be responded by, that the white house is a bit more protected today, good gimmicks for the world to see, and good for business,
But that aside we all know mr Obamas treatment of us, is less that honest,
But both ended with one true fact,
When the chips are down, both will support each other in crises,

If a new president will change the status que with Britain,, we hope so .

In contrast, at a restaurant in Nicaragua, I was waiting a whole HOUR for food. I wasn't too impressed. They wouldn't have kept their friend Hugo waiting so long.

There are 400 000 000 consimers only in Argentina abd Brasil, 4 000 0000 more in Urugual, 17 000 000 in Chile, do you really think that US doesen t want to sell anything to these countrys?,
Plus after all Argentinian corruption that really exist, I am from Argentina but I recognise the corruption and I left Argentina in 95 becouse if the corruption , but still US snd EU wants to do business in Argentina, 40 000 000 consumers are a goid reason to do business.
Then don t take me wrong, US all ready trade with EU, but South America is the bew market.

Cristina Fernández de Kirchner the current disaster president of Argentina
Mar 19th, 2012 - 09:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0and the other Argentina crooks are her vice-president, Amado Boudou, he is actually an owner of the company that prints money for the government in Argentina, a major conflict of interest, but he denies it, he owns the company in the names of other friends and associates. He is being investigated and surely will end up in jail where he belongs. Cristinas 2 VERY UGLY children, Maximo and Florencia Kirchner, are also very corrupt. Maximo owns all kinds of hotels and properties adn Florencia is a film student in New York and lives in a luxury Park Avenue apartment and is known for major cocaine use. Some of us who know her in New York remember how she always used to tell us how her parents have a bank account drawn on the Nation of Argentina and for her family money is no object. These 2 corrupt children of Cristina Kirchner are self proclaimed “militants”, they belong to 2 internal terrorist groups which Cristina Kirchner finances, “La Cámpora” and “Quebracho”. “La Cámpora” goes around to the poor shantytowns around the cities in Argentina and gives the poor people a bag of groceries, a sausage sandwich called “choripan” and $20 pesos to buy their votes. These people have no choice but to accept this as they are extremely poor and have no other hope. “Quebracho” is a terrorist group which Cristina Kirchner pays to protect her, they disguise their faces and go around shaking down businesses to get money and give back to the president. They are also responsible for drug dealing, robberies and murders.
