Early days ..... the political furore will start to die away as news is reduced to a trickle, and Argentina realises that there isn't anywhere else it can go in its spurious claim for the islands.

This is encouraging news, and means it's very hopeful for the other 8 drilling sites, hopefully this will encourage other oil companies to move in on the action.

I see the political furore has died down, the Rabid Malvinist masses and Mrs Jerkner have tired themselves out.
Its been a bit like a hangover after the big party! You knacker yourself and then realise your late for work!

Oh, jorge. Falkland Islands were named, claimed and settled before Argentina, as such, existed. Based on the Continental Shelf theory, Argentina, even possibly South America, belongs to Britain. Why don't all you squatters go back where you came from?
