It has just become apparent to those who watch such things that Britain has totally slipped off the US agenda.In fact all the speeches Obama has made since becoming President - and in all the speeches he made when campaigning - neither Britain nor the special relationship have been mentioned once.
This despite Britain having been America's most staunch ally in both the Gulf Wars and the Afghan War. He would rather suck up to those European countries that now hold the power in Europe (France and Germany) but do nothing to support America.
Could this be anything to do with a fear that Britain may demand its share of Iraqi oil and Afghan mineral wealth? After all why else have we supported America? Did they help us in the Falklands war which was right on their doorstep? No. they they stayed neutral leaving us to fight a war 3000 miles away by ourselves. Next time America wish to play policeman let them ask the French and Germans for help and see what happens.
