Senior U.S. officials and NATO’s top commander in the country, U.S. General John Allen, moved quickly to condemn the pictures even before they were published by the Los Angeles Times, which received the photos from another soldier. “The actions of the individuals photographed do not represent the policies of International Security Assistance Force or the U.S. …

Despite Obama charm, Americas summit boosts U.S. isolation

NewsonToday — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:18:24 +0000

CARTAGENA, Colombia (Reuters) – President Barack Obama patiently sat through diatribes, interruptions and even the occasional eye-ball roll at the weekend Summit of the Americas in an effort to win over Latin American leaders fed up with U.S. policies. He failed. The United States instead emerged from the summit in Colombia increasingly isolated as nearly 30 regional heads of state refused to sign a joint declaration in protest against the continued exclusion of communist-led Cuba from the event. …

Latin America rebels against Obama over Cuba

NewsonToday — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 02:19:54 +0000

CARTAGENA, Colombia (Reuters) – Unprecedented Latin American opposition to U.S. sanctions on Cuba left President Barack Obama isolated at a summit on Sunday and illustrated Washington’s declining influence in a region being aggressively courted by China. Unlike the rock-star status he enjoyed at the 2009 Summit of the Americas after taking office, Obama has had a bruising time at the two-day meeting in Colombia of some 30 heads of state. Sixteen U.S. security personnel were caught in an embarrassing prostitution scandal before Obama arrived, Brazil and others have bashed Obama over U.S. …
