Day By Day by Chris Muir

The Obama Administrations’ handling of the transfer of Guantanamo Bay terrorists to Bermuda has created quite the Flap.
Senior aides to President Barack Obama accompanied four Uighur prisoners as they were flown from Guantanamo Bay to the British colony of Bermuda, without the UK being informed, it was revealed yesterday.

In an escalating diplomatic row over the transfer of the former terrorist suspects, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discussed the transfer with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband in what was said to be an uneasy conversation. Privately Whitehall officials accused America of treating Britain, with whom it is supposed to have a “special relationship”, with barely disguised contempt.

One senior official said: “The Americans were fully aware of the foreign-policy understanding we have with Bermuda and they deliberately chose to ignore it. This is not the kind of behaviour one expects from an ally.”

I think Obama’s problem with the Brits started with giving the British PM Gordoen Brown DVD’s in the wrong format.

Isn;t it becomig obvious that Teleprompter “The One” is a rookie who has no idea on how to conduct foreign policy?

    Does Flap know something that the senior Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee doesn’t?

    Lugar gives Obama an ‘A’ for foreign policy – June 15, 2009

    President Obama merits an “A” so far in his approach to American foreign policy, Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., said Monday. But he cautioned that tone alone doesn’t solve deep and complex world problems.

    Lugar, the senior Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, met with a group of journalists for an hour. In response to a question about how he’d rate Obama’s performance in the international arena, Lugar said he’d give the new president a top grade.

    Hahaha

    So, Tyler, you liked Bush’s foreign policy?

    He said the Obama administration’s policies are not much different from the Bush administration’s, but his approach is different.

    Obama is still a rookie.

    Obama is a rookie – every President is.

    But your comment that he “has no idea on how to conduct foreign policy” don’t seem to reflect the opinion of those who are in a better position to judge, such as Lugar.

    Better position to judge – sounds mighty self-righteous of you.

    Nice strawman argument about Lugar. But, if you examine his statements carefully you will see it is typical political doublespeak…… On the one hand and the other hand.

    Do you like Obama’s foreign policy then? As a continuation of Bush?

    In regards to the Uighurs: Now you see them, now you don’t. But hey, even jihadists need a little R&R! Pina Colada, anyone?
