    ah yes i wondered when Bolivia's cheaper and even more whiny version of Hugo Chavez was going to chip in.

    still given his recent violent suppression of natives in Bolivia who oppose the construction of a highway through their land which will likely pour cash into his pockets and those of his minions, he is familiar with the the illegal subjugation, suppression and disenfranchisement of innocents in their own land.

    on the other hand given his piss poor ratings i doubt he will be around for next years continuation of south america's “zero real support for argentina” policy, so maybe we should cherish his attempt to get favors from another destitute third world nation as the comedy that they truly are

    Well no British flagged ships will be turning up in Bolivia's ports. I think the Peruvian - Chilean - Bolivian arm of LatAM would be an interesting example of cooperation to watch.

    14, Dental Floss, what are you talking about? You can't generalise like that.

    You intimate you've been to the islands and you say you understand what it's like in Britain also. Who are you I wonder? If I recall properly, you say you've seen the troops at MPA. In what capacity were you there? A tourist, a businman or what? I doubt you were in or with a next of kin visit because they don't normally get access to MPA except directly to the airport for the flight. Tell us how you claim to be so familiar.

    Bolivia is a completely LAND-LOCKED country. Were you dozy South Americans thinking that an FI crew were going to engage in a portage so that their vessel could dock in a non-existent Bolivian port? Let's take a look at that Bolivian “president”. And the difference between his appearance and intelligence from that of a chimp is what? At least CFK looks more like a quasi-human plastic doll. Especially in the popular poses of on her knees giving a blowjob and bent over taking it in the butt. Both modelled from life. I hear she's a real sucker. And penis enlargers are made from the same material. In her case, I understand you tread on the “tits” and both ends suck at the same time.

    I do hear that her favourite perch is a stake. As the entrance is easily accessible and the exit means she gets to clear her throat. And her blowjobs have a similar effect to a plastic penis enlarger. I also hear she can take four at once without using her hands.

    Still, at least she's getting well paid. Pity argies don't realise it's their money she's taking. By 2009 “her” wealth had increased by 572%. The Argentine Anti Corruption Office has had its investigation halted by a paid (by Kirchner) judge. It should be at least 762% by now.

    I think it is very sad that the first Amerindian president of a nation should act so unwisely. As Bolivia has no access to the sea and no navy, President Morales' statements are, as ever, irrelevant in the real world. In fact, perhaps he has actually damaged Bolivia's future, as Argentina will never help them gain access to the Pacific, and nor will it be in Britain's interests after this latest statement.

    So when Malviner cannot come up with a coherent or tangible reply he resorts to calling one a “prick”. I see integrity is not an Argentine trait.

    Still, he cannot say what law we have broken and can offer no argument why his nation have taken us to court. Not exactly one of the sharpest knives in the draw? According to Malviner a nation with a AAA rating and without a default in recent memory is bankrupt. Perhaps this is why Argentine economic policy is such a disaster?

    Let the oil flow and the drilling continue.

Can the UK still claim parts of the USA as we settled them first. No of course not..what about Autsralia!!! of course n0t. Russia owned / occupied Alaska before USA the list goes on. Disposing the FI population or forcing them to become Argentine is against the UN rulings on self determination, just like murdering 10k of your own people in recent memory.

    Yuleno - Can you share your calculation as to your claim that RKH have not found enough oil? Why are the big boys starting to sniff around? Considering that a 60mb find is economically viable down to an oil price of $50 per barrel then I would argue that a 400mb+ find with oil at $111 (brent spot) is a sign that puts a big smile across my face. That is just sealion, add to that Casper, Casper South and Beverley that all need appraising.

    None of the money will come to the UK as royalties and taxes go to the FIG. There is no political case and Argentina certainly lacks any legal case.

    The Falkland islanders of their own free will, wish to remain British,
    The British government adhering to their wishes will protect them,
    And Argentina should respect that, and all bloggers no matter where they were born, either except it, or choose to be dictators and demand otherwise,,
    British they are, and British they will remain,
    And the British, have not harmed Argentina or its people in any way,
    Look to the future, or live in the past, your choice,

    Would anyone translate #13 into either English or Spanish or any understandable lingo? Thanks.

    As I see it (t.i.c.), what Morales intended to mean is that Bolivia would not accept any ship flying the questioned ensigns (red or blue, with mutton) to sail the Titicaca or enter its ports, in brave support of Argentina's claim of sovereignty over a bunch of islands located in the South Atlantic.

    ;-)

    I'm surprised about his support for Argentina, as I'm a supporter of the Islands freedom, and I have also always supported Evo's achievement in winning, at long last, power for indigenous people in Bolivia. I thought he'd want to repay the favour. But there you go.

    @54 O gara
    With no Argentinian population living in the Falklands there are no valid comparisons to be made with Northern Ireland.

    64#The people in Bolivia that you refer to are unavoidably an identifiable group.Those on the Malvinas are not an identifiable group.They claim to be falklanders(?),British,English,Scottish,ect.There is no comparison in any way except the length of time they have lived there and there is there a difference, you'll agree.

    The people on the Malvinas are ghosts,
    As with the people on Atlantis island, also ghosts,
    But if you look for a paranormals, and find your ghosts, be sure to keep your distance,
    Poltergeists don’t like argentines ,
    or geo,
