In his talks with President Obama in March, David Cameron reportedly gained assurances from the White House that Washington would stop pressing for negotiations between London and Buenos Aires over the sovereignty of the Falklands. If such an assurance was given, it was surely worthless. As Mercosur Press (South Atlantic News Agency) has just reported, the State Department is once again calling for UK-Argentina negotiations, ahead of next week’s Organisation of American States summit in Bolivia:
“Our policy is unchanged. We believe that this is a bilateral issue that needs to be worked out directly between Argentina and the United Kingdom. That’s what we are encouraging both sides to do” said Acting Under Secretary for Press Affairs at the State Department Mike Hammer during an exchange with reporters on Twitter.
Likewise “we are encouraging Argentina and the UK to work this out peacefully, to work it out through negotiations”.

Predictable.
We have got to get this bastid out of our WH—or God help us all!
If zippy’s lips were moving, well, you know....
lemmee see if i got this straight.... britain has a colony clear on the other side of the globe, and then guts it’s own navy, leaving it with no way to defend it’s colony... so now what? Is it up to us to defend it for them?
If they cannot defend their own colony, perhaps they should sell it? maybe to a country with a navy....
With all his warts, a President Romney would not have done this.
The French talk about "perfidious Albion", maybe we have inherited that title.

Obama made this gaffe about the Falklands 6 weeks ago.
President Barack Obama managed to commit two major gaffes in a single sentence by attempting to refer to the Falkland Islands as the Malvinas while instead calling them the Maldives, which are 8,123 miles away.
It was worked out about 30 years ago.

More directly to the Maldives issue, without the need to resupply the Falklands, the UK no longer needs to maintain RAF Ascension, and these guys can be told to make arrangements for a central Atlantic airfield somewhere else.
I guess as NASA no longer has a manned space program they no longer need it. However declining to renew the tenancy on that particular base in the South Atlantic would symbolically be entirely appropriate. Hopefully the Brits would renew it when a less adversarial administration was elected.
