Hillary Clinton has backed Argentine demands for the UK to negotiate over the Falkland Islands and by extension BHP’s oil exploration and drilling rights in the area. The Argentine ambassador to Australia has already warned BHP over their involvement in the Falklands and yet nothing from our government. Rudd’s infatuation for Obama is probably clouding his vision of the issue. The same could probably be said of Gordon Brown, one of the most hideous freedom hating men to ever be British PM.
UPDATE I
Brown has rejected Clinton’s offer – there must be an election around the corner:
MPs also pointed out that the White House’s refusal to back Britain over the Falklands was in stark contrast to Tony Blair standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the U.S. over the Iraq invasion in 2003.
So much for loyalty.
