    The United States in its fierce saga invaded the Middle East in order to steal the oil of the Arab people.

    USA must learn to pay its own sins!

    Good Cisplatin!

    @1. A problem for whom? A little bit of research would do you no harm. Here's an example. An individual called Shaker Aamer. He's not British. All he has is permission to reside. His 'family' are in the UK. On benefits. He's been cleared for release to his home country, Saudi Arabia, twice. He refuses to go. Get the picture? Aamer wants what HE wants. He could be released to Saudi and his family could join him there. But he wants Britain to support him and his family. The 'sense' of entitlement of muslims! And these muslims in Uruguay complain about everything and refuse to get jobs. What a pity that the US doesn't take the simplest solution. “You go where we send you, or we shoot you”.
    @2. Yeah, it's terrible. Might be an idea to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabs Whoops, arabs should only be in the Arabian Peninsula. What an amazing coincidence; Arabs, Arabian Peninsula! It's difficult to countenance accusations from the home of one of the biggest oil industry corruption cases in the world against a country that, one way or another, pays for what it obtains. Perhaps you have satellite photos of columns of American oil tanker vehicles loading up and heading for the nearest port? How about evidence of the secretly-constructed underground pipeline?

    Sorry, girlie, you'll have to do better. A lot better. But you can't, can you? Does Dilma pay you? Or are you just thick?

    Those new Guantanamo immigrants seem to integrate really well haven't they?

    Some might think it was a humane gesture to take them in, but the truth is it was stupid and it will only get worse until they are sent elsewhere.

    So they want free land to build a temple of terror and don't want to work.
    Send them back or sea them off to sea in a leaky boat.
    I hope the rest of the world takes notice of what happens when you let these scumbags into your country.

    Considering he has paid U$D millions to the lazy, unwashed poor of Uruguay, why does “No Money Pepe” think these six arseholes should work?

    We all knew, even Guzz / Stevie knew, what a disaster this decision was.

    Thankfully, Vasquez seems to be made of sterner stuff. Now if he would only find work for the poor, THAT would be newsworthy then if they didn't take it he could remove the payments permanently.

    Would it be fair to say that, Uruguay may well pay the price of these terrorist,

    this may well bring retaliation to south America,

    you laugh at them all running wild over Europe, well soon they may well run wild over south America as Europe may well get to hot for them.

    only politics that the British are capable of exercising

    like your attempted thievery of the Falkland's no matter at what cost.

    These terrorists are a waste of human flesh. We should have let the sharks eat them when we got all the info out of them we needed.
