More of That “Smart Power” and Winning International Respect

President B. Hussein Obama continues his international campaign to damage relationship with our European allies by going behind the back of Great Britain and negotiating directly with Bermuda to “resettle” four Chinese Uighurs terrorists formerly held in Guantanamo Bay. They are now guest workers of Bermuda, with a path towards normalization.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the British Government has responded with anger as the island tourist paradise is now crawling with Islamist terrorists, in a manner that thumbs their nose at China, and neither the Obama administration nor the Bermuda Governor General bothered to consult the British.

Bermuda, Britain's oldest remaining dependency, is one of 14 overseas territories that come under the sovereignty of the United Kingdom, which retains direct responsibility for such matters as foreign policy and security.

"We've underlined to the Bermuda Government that they should have consulted with the United Kingdom as to whether this falls within their competence or is a security issue, for which the Bermuda Government do not have delegated responsibility," a Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesman said. "We have made clear to the Bermuda Government the need for a security assessment, which we are now helping them to carry out, and we will decide on further steps as appropriate."

This news begs the question: how much US taxpayer money was wasted on buying this “resettlement” to Bermuda?

Somewhere in Kenya, a village is looking for its idiot.
