Obama: Rebuilding Alliances?

As a Presidential Candidate and as President-Elect Barack Obama promised to "rebuild alliance" in Europe and "restore America's standing in the world." The President is having serious rebuilding a alliance with 10 Downing Street. 10 Downing Street has hit back at President Obama and Hillary Clinton for attacking the decision to release the Lockerbie Bomber. President Obama and Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton fuelled a fierce American backlash against Britain, claiming abdelbast Al Megrahi should have been forced to serve out his jail sentence in Scotland- but a senior Whithall aide said the reaction was "disingenuous". British Officials say the American spoke out because they were taken aback by the anger over Megrahi release, not because they did not know what was about to happen. The U.S. was kept fully in touch about every thing that was going on with regard to Britain's discussions with Libya in recent years and about Megrahi, said the Whitehall Aide. "They Knew about our prisoner transfer agreement with Libya and they knew that the Scots were considering Megrahi case." First Obama sent the Uighars to Bermuda with minimal notice to the UK, and now this. If he is not careful, President Obama isn't going to have a alliance to rebuild.
