    “And what did you and Argentina dream about during apartheid”

    Well, after apartheid, in 1994, they updated their constitution, inserted the guff about owning the Falklands but forgot to take out the blatantly racist Article 25. Only European immigrants please...

    These are really good news. I love these women, another South African woman born in the home of the Zulu nation, that I admire, is Nonkululeko Nyembezi-Heita.
    I read this morning comments posted by Brits on different websites, saying that Argentina and South Africa will invade Islas Malvinas hahaha. Poor Brits, most of them get hysterical over everything Argentina says or does.

    it seems the reduction of British forces have brought out the scum of the earth , Rats from the gutters and shit from the sewers, perhaps you are impatient for the presents, but we believe you Argentineans are in for a bigger surprise than you think. And as for you loyal bloggers no doubt the bullshit will follow your great victory [nothing] [come and get them if you think you can]
    peace is always the first option, but a bloody nose you will receive if you sway from the peaceful path,

    What I don't understand is what either country could gain exchanging military technology. The best equipment Argentina has is from the 70-80s I have no idea about South Africa but the must be in a pretty bad state if they want info on that junk. Pathetic.

    @Brink_on,
    “falklands is british”
    It is not British else it is illegally occupied by Britain using some squatters that's all.

    @6 think

    Wasn't that what the British troops sang at Rorke's Drift?

    137 British soldiers vs 3-4,000 Zula warriors, did they yield? nope.

    Why should those “Heroes” have yielded?

    State of the art rifles against Zulu spears and leather shields...

    As easy as blowing off the head of a little iraqi girl from the top of a Challenger.....

    Or bombing an Afghani wedding party from a Tornado......

    Ohhh..... those heroic British feats :-)

    Contrary to popular belief the Zulu's had rifles, they just lacked the traning standards the British had.

    Such an amatuer mistake.

    @17,

    you'd know all about yielding think, Does this ring any bells?....

    Country A captures & fortifies a small island just off it's coast, country B sends a far smaller force 8000 miles to attempt to retake it, sailing right past country A's coastline to do it. Country B has to disembark troops and supplies under fire then attack against established defensive positions held by superior numbers.

    Country A gets thrashed, a pitiful exhibition.

    Come on, Think, you missed out the best bit......

    All together now....

    Romans keep your armours.
    Saxons your pyjamas.
    Hairy coats were made for goats,
    Gorillas, yaks, retriever dogs and llamas
    Climb up Snowdon with your woad on,
    Never mind if you get rained or blowed on
    Never want a button sewed on.
    Go it Ancient B's !!

    lalalalala.....

    I understand the redcoats were fighting against Cetewayo's colonial ambitions....
