Duhalde the man that send Argentina to the default of 2001 now want to lecture the government.

Argentina a generous country that even guarantees the right of speech of corrupted people like Duhalde.

You needn't be a Kirchnerista to appreciate the irony here.

Eduardo Duahalde is informally known for having introduced Paco, the most deadly drug into the shanty towns of the province of Buenos Aires during his government period. Also he is accused of covering up the murder of journalist José Luis Cabezas back in the nineties, also because of his implications in the drug dealing bussiness. He has appeared on TV saying that a famous murder in a private country-club was “impassioning”. He is an example of corruption who only saved his image by being appointed president by the congress -he even wasn't elected by the people- for a one and a half year period. This is the kind of people the modern argentinian right wing take as an example of decency.

I see he's hit the nail on the head, a Government of confrontation, rather than understanding.
Have the Jerkners tried to understand the Falklanders, nay! they've just confronted all the time.
A slight embarrasment if you ask me, all this rhetoric and no action? Looks like a president with a mouth but no teeth, how is decree 235 coming along?
The one meant to forbid all shipping the islands? I hear it's been largely ineffective, Cruise ships have ignored it and nobodies complained!
