OH, NOT AGAIN - AT 9:07 P.M. ET:  We've reported before on how this administration treats America's allies.  Britain, France, Germany and Israel have felt the chill, and Japan and South Korea can't be too excited by our appeasement of North Korea.  Enemies are a different story.  Hey, pal, can we talk?

Well, it's happened again, this time involving Gitmo detainees.  You can't really make this stuff up.  Fox News didn't:

Looks like trouble in paradise.

Though the Obama administration proudly announced Thursday that it had freed and resettled four Guantanamo detainees in Bermuda, the British government is complaining that it was not adequately consulted on the deal.

And since Bermuda is a British territory, that means the prisoner transfer may not be permanent.

"The Bermudan government should have consulted us as to whether this falls into their competence. Foreign affairs and security issues would usually fall under U.K. government," one British official told FOX News, adding that they would pursue a security assessment. "It's unlikely any more (detainees) will go to any British overseas territories."

Bermuda Premier Ewart Brown also released a carefully worded statement confirming that the British colonial governor, after meeting with him Thursday morning, had questions, and is "seeking to further assess the ramifications" on behalf of the United Kingdom before signing off on the deal.

COMMENT:  I guess the White House thinks that the people of Bermuda speak Bermudan, just as the president said recently that Austria speaks Austrian.  (It's German, of course.) 

Didn't someone notice that the British weren't consulted?  The sheer incompetence here is tough to believe.  Will the mainstream media criticize the Obamans for this latest flap?  What do you think?
