    The cable states that during November 2009, Tigre Mayor Sergio Massa and his wife, Malena Galmarini participated of a dinner in which he revealed details about working with late former President and said he was a “psychopath,” a “monster,” whose “bully approach” to politics shows his sense of inferiority. He also considered that the President (Cristina Fernandez) “would be better off without him”

    This is all very different to the 'Fine statesman' stuff we heard recently !

    I wonder if the USA will still be part of the UN Security Council. It pretty much looks like they know nothing about Security. And then you have those Brits insisting on going to the ICJ, hahaha, the USA, the UK are countries so renowned for having a real sense of justice, moral and honesty.

    xbarilox: If argentina does not trust the UN and it's ICJ, perhaps Argentina should leave the UN?

    We don't trust the UN, that's why we don't leave the UN.

    so the yanks think the argies are quacks as well. Thats nothing new then,
    but then did we all expect anything less ??, so south America can go back to sleep, Argentina can go back to screaming threats, the Islanders can ignore them, and the brits can put the earplugs in, and the result stands, falklands are british, and the argies keep on dreaming, [over to you] lol

    Nothing in wikileaks has come as a surprise. Saudi Arabia hate Iran, CFK should be in a loony bin etc. etc.

    I wanted to find out some juicy gossip not stuff that was already obvious. More exciting looking at the sp of DES for the past three days. Now that gets the pulse racing.

    “Nothing in wikileaks has come as a surprise. Saudi Arabia hate Iran, CFK should be in a loony bin etc. etc.” Nothing in Wikileaks has come as a surprise. The US is the same scumbag, as usual. Now that gets Latin America more united than ever. Well, those countries that consider themselves as Latinoamericanos ;)

    “Latin America... more united”

    Hmm, a bit of a contradiction in terms.

    No xbox. You said: “Now that gets Latin America more united than ever.”

    As I said: “Latin America... more united” - a contradiction in terms. You guys just talk about being united, but when it comes down to it you'll scrap over a mate and bombilla...

    “Latin America... more united”

    Hahaha, what a laugh, Argentina is the most hated country in S A.
    The Chilians, Brazilians & Uraguyans are only humouring your sad afair for the sake of trade, all three countries have good relations with the UK. So sorry Argentina when it comes to the crunch you stand alone....

    Well OK maybe Chavez, but to be honest if he's your best hope then God help you.
