FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Cameron and Obama used an article for the Tuesday edition of the Washington Post to tout their historical links and common values as reasons enough for such a relationship.
“The alliance between the United States and Great Britain is a partnership of the heart, bound by the history, traditions and values we share,” the article read.
“What makes our relationship special – a unique and essential asset, for our nations and the world – is that we join hands across so many endeavors. Put simply, we count on each other and the world counts on our alliance,” it added.
This comes as the facts on the ground show the “special relationship” is probably what Cameron, rather than Obama, sees as the status quo.
Obama backstabbed Britain when he described France as Washington’s strongest ally and friend in a White House press conference with French president Nicholas Sarkozy in January 2011.
“We don’t have a stronger friend and stronger ally than Nicolas Sarkozy, and the French people,” Obama said.
After he drew strong criticisms both in the US and in Britain for damaging remarks about London-Washington ties, he pretended to be repairing everything during his May visit to France.
“France is our oldest ally and continues to be one of our closest allies. And as President Sarkozy indicated, we had an enormous convergence of approaches and views on the challenges that we face around the world,” he told another news conference with Sarkozy, this time in Deauville, France.
However, his track record over the past year, not least his insulting behavior toward Britain, showed the emptiness of his mending comments.
Obama closed 2011 with humiliation of London when he talked of storming of the “English embassy” — rather than the British embassy — in Tehran on November 29.
The ‘gaffe’ was taken as suggesting the idea of ‘great’ Britain is a laughing matter for Washington that probably considers its ‘closest’ ally ‘the little England’.
The Obama administration has also backed Argentina over the Malvinas (Falklands) dispute with Britain while implicitly locking horns with London over the European Union by supporting a federal Europe as opposed to a bloc where Britain maintains its sovereignty and interests.
The WikiLeaks publication of the confidential US diplomatic cables added another side to Washington’s betrayal of Britain in February 2011.
The cables showed Washington secretly agreed to give the Russians sensitive information on Britain’s nuclear deterrent to persuade them to renew the START treaty on US-Russian nuclear warheads.
The list of the Obama administration’s damaging attitudes toward what the Washington Post article called the special relationship between the US and Britain, does not end there.
Obama personally threw Winston Churchill bust out of the US presidential office immediately after taking the reins in the White House while his government threatened to put a “boot on the throat” of British oil giant BP during the Gulf of Mexico oil spill disaster.
According to Washington-based foreign affairs analyst and political commentator Nile Gardiner, the latter move cut BP’s global shares value by about half while directly impacting the pensions of 18 million people in Britain.
One should also recall the ranting by the Obama administration official who was the State Department officer in charge of planning former British PM Gordon Brown’s official visit to the US.
“There’s nothing special about Britain. You’re just the same as the other 190 countries in the world. You shouldn’t expect special treatment,” the official was quoted by Sunday Telegraph as saying after Brown’s visit three years ago.
Against such a colorful background of the Obama administration humiliating Britain, one is left speculating Washington’s fresh talk of special relationships with London is no more than a public stunt.
