USA’s strained relationship with UK

Darn that George W. Bush!  It’s a good thing we have the postracial Uniter of All as our king president, right?

Oh, wait.

After initially denying that they had received British intelligence, senior American sources confirmed last night that they were “reviewing” what British information had been received on Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.

The admission is embarrassing for the White House and threatens to provoke a rift with Gordon Brown. The conflicting briefing over the shared intelligence also suggests that the transatlantic relationship may have weakened in recent months.

I’m thoroughly confused.  Didn’t the left and the MSM (pardon the redundancy) tell us all throughout 2008 and even into 2009 that only The One could heal the international wounds inflicted by Dubya the Terrible?  Why, just a touch of His robe (or a big ol’ collective group hug…tomato, to-mah-to) would send a message to the world that all was well and peace in our time had finally arrived!

Funny, that.
