Oct 13th, 2010 - 07:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0And what is black is white, and white is black ......smoke and mirrors in a vague attempt to hide the fact that Argentina totally over-reacted to a routine procedure ................ now don't they look daft!
”Nevertheless Timerman said that
Oct 13th, 2010 - 09:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina would ignore the UK provocations.
Oh, that's good, because we were quaking in our little boots.
Yup, they're going to ignore the provocations, because there's nothing they can do about them...

“Ignore the UK provocations”
Oct 13th, 2010 - 12:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well thats good because there weren't any. This is just stupid, they're informed out of courtesy and to avoid incidents arising from ignorance. Routine exercises are nothing to do with resolution or otherwise of the Falklands dispute, nor are they anything threatening peace.
This crap should have received a one word reply.
“Nuts”
Blah, blah, blah. As writer Jorge Luis Borges adequately stressed in 1982, it is the fight of two baldmen for a comb. Fortunately, neither country has a budget to cater for actions in the South Atlantic, despite what warmongers may say. Sleep tight fair islanders, there's no risk at all. One day, however, if the MoD graciously approves your port reshuffling, the sun will rise again. Cheers!
Oct 13th, 2010 - 02:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Its seems the English are trying to flex their muscles again, though they should be spending money on recovering their economy.
Oct 13th, 2010 - 02:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But Unasur will face pressure from the U.S. and their little dog..the UK
At least we have some muscle ... and little dogs have to know how to bite effectively!

And Argentina is looking slightly stupid for complaining about a regular exercise .... poor Argentina :-)

“UK is like a big bully pirate warmonger nation in the eyes of the whole world.”
Oct 13th, 2010 - 03:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Funny, i never saw any of those words in the story.
Pirates don't exist anymore, stop repeating Cretin's tweets. The world has its rules, and if one wants to be part of the NWO it is wrong to play the victim, we know what we did, and where this is going. I'll give the Kirchners the red card and turn them OFF.
Oct 13th, 2010 - 04:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Uppps xbarilox forgot (for the first time) to tell us that he is Argentinean!
Oct 13th, 2010 - 04:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Guys please remember: XbariloX is “Argentinean”
What Unasur means in the real world ??? Thought nothing.....It weight less than a feather !!!! What Unasur can say is absolutely invalid....the chairman is Mr. K....so, impartiality nothing at all, intelligence nothing at all, reliability nothing at all, so it's a real waste of time...I hope our President, that have showed he is clever and efficient will not be wasting his time with this stupidity leaded by the K's...!!!
Oct 13th, 2010 - 05:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Islanders, go ahead with what you want to do in your country...it´s your freedom to choose your friends like your mother country, the UK.
Thingy, as if we care what you lot are crying about, as if we've ever cared.
Oct 13th, 2010 - 05:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If your country is so certain of its 'legal' position, go to the ICJ, otherwise you're just crying and we won't care, and thats a promise.
Argentina complains about anyone breathing on the Islands. Diplomacy hey, I guess that is more twittering for CFK. Law, didn't know such military testing was illegal (well they haven't appeared concerned about it for the last twenty odd years). Peace, yes Argentina's peaceful approach involved an invasion, the locking up of civilians in a village hall, using the floor of a post office as a public lavatory, firing from designated civilian areas, using a childrens slide as a support for firing rockets, painting evey building in Stanley in which they stayed with a red cross and withdrawing a white flag so they could kill 2 paras who went to accept a regimental surrender. Interesting definition of legal and peaceful!

“Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!”
Nevertheless Timerman said that Argentina would ignore the UK provocations, [what he meant was, we will stay at home and cry for you]
Oct 13th, 2010 - 10:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0as they can do nothing, or are they all waiting for the results of monday.
Latest from the Buenos Aires Herald - “ ... Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman confirmed that he received instructions from President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to ”file a formal complaint before the International Maritime Organization towards Great Britian in order to determine whether or not an international treaty was violated for more than 20 years ....”
Oct 14th, 2010 - 08:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0Getting desperate. The IMO is based in the UK and I couldn't see any appeals procedure. It deals with safety issues but leaves enforcement to its member countries.
In trying to look justified for its over-reaction Argentina is just looking more stupid.
Confusus say ' when in hole, stop digging' :-)
Didn't he just say the other day that he was going to pointedly ignore the whole issue?
Oct 14th, 2010 - 10:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0Do these people not realize how stupid they look.. obviously not.
They reckon that stupid people don't know they are stupid... makes sense really
lack of education
Oct 14th, 2010 - 09:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He's indoctrinated by the State, to the point that he loses track of reality; in Argentina this qualifies him for Government Service, its just how they do things in that part of South America, just ignore the window licker.
Oct 15th, 2010 - 12:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0i feel sorry for them realy, they all start of heading in the right direction,
Oct 16th, 2010 - 12:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0then for some reason they all lose there way, get confused and then start seeing things, then they imagin they own something they dont ???
