    And I conccur, sorry won't do.
    I bid anything if they where Mexican in USA or Colombian military USA would use the excuse to blow them out of the map, maybe they should be bared from ever landing in Argentina, I think something like this happend already in 1833.

    “morphine and psychotropic medication
    The material seized from the plane’s cargo included “software, security information, weapons and narcotics,” all elements that according to the Argentine government, had not been authorized or listed by the US government.”

    @4

    Your forgetting something - Your Government invited them there to help train your police, the US being the helpful type they are, get it their efforts to help train your police thrown back in their faces. Seriously is that how you argies thank your friends for their help. If so, then then am surprised you have any friends at all. Oh but i get it, you didn't like the fact that Obama wont be visiting so this is the Argie way of making your feelings clear. Pathetic really isn't it.

    And i fail to see any comprison to what happened in 1833 in the falklands either. the nearest comparison i know of is 1982 when we brits kicked your arse's and siezed your military equipment that you illegally took with you to the falklands. :) lol

    The treatment of these brave US servicemen who have probably seen action in Iraq and Afghanistan is an absolute disgrace. Argentina should immediately release the US military equipment and allow the US personnel to go about their legitimate business.

    ROFL! What makes it “probably”? Because you want it to be so?
    There are no brave US servicemen, they're mostly just teens who need money for college, can't find work in the private sector, or want to kill something. I was in the US military, I know. See, I'm speaking from a point of experience, while you're just speaking from out your ass, as usual :D

    Hey Mr Masterbates.

    Do you know the US personnel in question? No you don't, so what gives you the right to accuse them of not being brave, to accuse them of being teens in need of money, or wanting to kill something? You have no such right, as your experience is yours alone and it doesnt give you the right to to accuse those that face incoming bullets and IED's on a regular basis on tours of duty to protect your Country, while you sit on your ass at a computer typing shit and enjoying your freedoms, that without such bravemen as the US personnel your refering too and those in 1942 (some as young as 16 years old), you wouldn't have such freedoms. You where in the US Military you say? Some how i doubt that. As one thing, no service man would speak of others so disrespectfully. Are they brave? Yes. Are you? No your just a pathetic excuse of a man.

    Okay guys, do any of you remember Operation Condor and what happened in the Southern Cone in the early 1980's? Might memory of those events give Argentina at least a little reason to look closer at what the US does in South America? And don't forget that SouthCom (US MIlitary) is basing troops and planes in Columbia with a mission statement to be able to deploy anywhere in South America to support the American agenda. Please consider a little context here.

    I suppose we can all surmise what the yanks were doing in Argentina.
    but the very words in that statement reading
    [highly-sensitive communication devices and a letter that read, in Spanish, ‘I am an American soldier, let my country know I’ve been arrested’.”]
    this tells me its not against the British, so forget it, but that statement usually is used by special opps, and if USA soldiers get caught in someone else’s country, if I was an Argentinean citizen I would be very worried,

    what happened in 1982 ? was that the year we liberated Islas Malvinas Argentina from illegal british occupation ?? we did it once we can do it again, no body likes illegal aliens and land thieves, look what is happening in Israel and Palestine. bring it on gals, but don't be mad when someone put you in front of a camera and slices your neck in half, I believe that Argentina should legalize drugs and weapons and build them to sale in other nations occupied by brits around the world fighting to free themselves from english allys occupation, you have a great idea #25 we should finish the 2000 illegal aliens next time we liberate Malvinas Argentina to never have this problem again, I can push the button and later I can hand myself in, let them punish me, I am ready to make that sacrifice for my people, are you ??

    Well NicoDimwit. Its funny it the video thats there is no amercan solidiers, just argentinian, brazinian and peruvian. Also i doubt the Americans would beable to understand what the hell the instructor was saying either.

    As for the US offered training of your police in exchange for argentina training their soldiers. RFLOL, Seriously! Why onearth would the US need their Soldiers trained by argentinians when the US soldiers are the most advanced trained fight men in the world.

    I think you will find it was your Government that agreed to the US training your police and as such they invited the US in to your country to do so.

    Wow Oh! What am I going to do now? FredMex2 haha

    At least you don’t understand English (especially American) or you don have your speakers turned on or may be are partially or temporally deaf or you had suddenly turned blind.

    Its is quite clear that those soldiers on the left are Americans with a translator in the back.
    “When he says fuego you fire the target” When you have it down let it go” he said to the other Americans.

    So my question for you is where are you from Mexico? I think even the more dummy brits will recognize American accent on the fly. And for an American would be much easier. Don’t you think so?

    Here the description of the scene:

    1- The instructor is an Argentinean commando training these soldiers on urban combat tactics.
    2- The 4 soldiers on the left (with beige or brown light vest and same colour the boots) plus his translator are Americans.
    3- The other soldiers on the right in the same line are Brazilians easy to know as you can see the Brazilian flag on their uniforms.
    4- The 2 other soldiers, one filming and talking to the camera and the other smiling and standing close to him are Peruvians.

    “Seriously! Why onearth would the US need their Soldiers trained by argentinians when the US soldiers are the most advanced trained fight men in the world”

    Really and how do you know that? Because you have read it on the Washington Post?
    May be because since Vietnam US never won any conflict as expected.

    Call the Pentagon ask Obama.

    Funny, the instructor looks like a peruvian officer given the red soldier badge on his right soldier. So kind of mutes your argument of american soldiers being trained by argentinian commando doesn't it. Also the vide was taken during the Panamax 08 joint excersies that invloved over 19 nations. and not only that who stands to benefit more latin american militarys, whos equipment is dated our in argentine case virtually redundant, or that of the well equiped US service men that do firing excercises shown in the video on an almost daily basis (and as such don't need instruction on how to do them from a foreign officer) and not to mention the us military being capable of defending the Panama canal by itself. So come on Nico Dim Wit who stand to benefit the most frm such joint training excercises?

    Yeah whatever you say nicodimwit, i think the only one here that believes a word of what your saying is yourself.

    As for the video being pannex 2008 i think you'll find it is, as for then training in Argentina, well so what, each country most likely takes it in turns to host it you idiot.

    As for US and UK losing Iraq and athganistan wars - Do you and Marcos seriously expect me of any other inteligent person to believe you just becuase they happens to be a book written about it being sold on amazon, and a few idiots (your relatives i assume, when it coms to no intelligence) have posted videos up about it on you tube off harry reid saying the war would be lost if tey continued to follow the presidents path back in 2007. Lol yeah Right but that was harry reids opinion that we would lose the war if things a new stragety was not used. But quess what just caos that was harry reids opinion, it doesnt mean we actually did lose the war, because in fact we won the war regardless of what harry reid's personal opinion was. As fo the Article you linked to, well that again is just a 3rd parties personal opinion, which fails to change the fact that yes we did capture baghdad, yes we did topple saddam hussain, yes we did topple his government and install a new government or the fact that irag army surrendered unconditionally.

    And oc course you must have forgotten about President bush's may day victory in iraq declaration onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/2989459.stm

    Well is a matter of point of views:

    1- The war started in Iraq for WMD none was found (intelligence fail)
    2- To bring stability and democracy to Iraq people, Iraq is big chaos, unstable and the people supposed to be the beneficiaries of your invasion ended up fighting against you. 2nd big Fail.
    3- The war was marketed and expected to end in 2 weeks (remember?) another fail.
    4- The Talibans continue operating from Pakistan, another fail sizing the war to other nations.

    So Iraq and Afghanistan are like Vietnam nor UK or USA win else both lost.

    “The Pentagon says that a total of 40,000 troops have deserted their posts (not simply those serving in Iraq) since the year 2000 to 2006” 50.000 were in Vietnam.”

    “When President Barack Obama reassesses the progress of the U.S. war in Afghanistan in December, as he has promised to do, he will be reviewing a lost war.

    They certanly were not blazing glorious wins for either of the UK or US. We could be there for 100 and over years and i doubt it would fix the country.

    However, “A military defeat is the ultimate acceptance of cessation of combat by an armed force brought on through exhaustion of the troops, complete loss of cohesion, lack of weapons and equipment, significant interruption of logistic support or loss of effective military command. It is usually followed by a surrender of forces to the victorious enemy.”

    This has not and did not happen in any way shape or form. You are also talking someone who is a known idiot, Nico here is not the brightest bulb in the world..some of his more funny claims are loosing the Afghan war before we've even left. Himself Anthraxing the whole of the UK personally and the fact that he believes that living in a concrete tower block would shield him in the event of a nuclear attack.

    Lets see:
    A-Objective of the war on terror war to capture Bin Laden, get rid of Taliban, Terrorist, bring stability to the region and make the world safe. That said from US and UK politicians.

    But US& UK lost in every real sense. Soldiers have been fighting, dying since 2001 and 2006 and until today nothing was archived. There is no peace, no reconstruction (all is in chaos) and the conflict had expanded to other regions like Pakistan, etc. so more terror and threats and violence in the Middle East.

    “exhaustion of the troops... lack of weapons and equipment”
    “Exhausted British troops must not go straight from Iraq to Afghanistan”,
    “Our mandate for action is finally exhausted” Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup

    A senior officer told to Sean Rayment, Defence Correspondent, “British troops are exhausted”

    “British troops in Afghanistan are exhausted and desperately short of helicopters, and there is no sign that the casualty rate will fall, according to accounts yesterday from officers on the frontline.”

    Well clear this is a defeat nothing was archived and you have to withdraw the troops like.

    So deny the facts that is very foolish.

    Objective of the war:

    You wasted an entire paragraph and didn't address my points. I never said it was a amazing stunning military victory. I said, if you would read what i said again. It was not a military defeat. Our troops were not beaten to the point of having to leave or die(A military defeat is what happened in the falklands.).

    Quotes about troops being exhausted:

    Another wasted paragraph. exhaustion of the troops that i mentioned does not mean the triedness levels of the troops, lol.

    Military defeat by exhaustion of troops is what happenes when during a war one side of the war runs out of troops to fight the war so one side must surrender.

    “Our mandate for action is finally exhausted:
    The withdrawal of our troops is not because we have won or lost in any conventional sense”

    You've missed the point of this article also. Honestly read the article you've googled before you link the quote.

    Helicopters: Frontline troops will always want more equipment. This does not mean however they did not have any, nico. The forces did very well supporting two wars at the same time for years while equiping both places.

    “have to withdraw the troops like.”

    Incorrect. Argentina, in 1982 war forced off the islands. Your men surrendered and had no chance of staying had they not given up. That is a military defeat. Planning on leaving a war zone years in advance and then leaving when you've planned to is not a defeat. Our troops were never going to be there forever, you'd have to be an idiot to think they would be...You would also be criticizing us if we did plan on staying there forever.

    Last. You talk about facts. Yet your whole post was made up of opinions.

    You do realise, an opinion is not a fact?

    My opinion? Is your militaries officers, your govt, etc.

    “Britain's most senior generals have issued a blunt warning to Downing Street that the military campaign in Afghanistan is facing a catastrophic failure, a development that could lead to an Islamist government seizing power in neighbouring Pakistan.” 2007

    “military campaign in Afghanistan is facing a catastrophic failure” well chaos in Pakistan is already made.

    “collapse of the government in Afghanistan, headed by Hamid Karzai, would present a grave threat to the security of Britain” wow more threats to Britain

    “The criticism of the British operation in Helmand centres on its failure to establish security in Sangin – the town which has become totemic as the place that has claimed more British lives than any other in Afghanistan.”

    “The UK military effort in Helmand, which has grown to 10,000 troops and a cost of more than £5bn a year, is criticised by top US officials, who fear the British have bitten off more than they can chew with Afghanistan's largest and most troublesome province.”

    This is a complete failure of the British troops your own allies say so.

    At least for you Afghanistan is a lost.

    Nicodin you prat, the war on terror was never about getting rid of the Taliban, It was against the multitude of extremist mainly muslim based terror groups..the fact that Taliban refused to hand over Osama is what prompted the invasion post 9/11 anger, the efforts in Afghanistan are now to remove the power base of the Taliban, not destroy them. The fact most of afghanistan outside the Pashtun areas had no love of the Taliban....AND the Taliban in general dont support Al Qeada either.

    Argentina should understand terrorism and be prepared to help the global fight against it, instead of taking the morale high ground over events you show no interest in, until Al Qeada comes knocking on in Buenos Aires you'll all bury your heads in the sand and pretend its just a an american and european problem. Do non of you at least show any sympathy for the Madrid bombings and your Latin Spanish cousins? or do you hate them too?

    We have terrorism on our own soil for 20 years from the 1970 to 1989 thanks.
    And where was US or UK or Spain on those days? Ah yes Spain given refuge to the terrorist, US pressing for human rights while financing one and other side to make thing worst, UK given Asylum to any South American terrorist arguing humanitarian reason and France doing the same.

    So see this place (La Tablada) as is today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtO42I1j3VM

    Terrorist operating in shantytowns and poorest areas taking by assault over conscripts and using them as human shields. Civilians, conscripts dead, burned, etc.

    Clearly the case here. All you've offered is opinion. What are the facts? Fact is the US and UK successfully invaded and took out saddam hussein and conducted two major simultaneous invasions while keeping a very low casualty rate for nations in two wars. Left iraq when they wanted, when it was planned years in advance. And the other war you claim we lost, the afghan war is a war we are still currently involved in, it is illogical to believe that it's possible to loose a war that will not be over for another four years....When we've planned to leave...four years ahead of time.

    Remember the war between Argentina and the UK. When your men were all captured and sent home, your nation forced to surrender? That's a military defeat nico. Now if your troops had stayed on the islands for 10 years then decided to pack up and go home, it would be a different story.

    Marcos we handed over to Iraqi troops, they even had to bring them from the North of iraq for fear of iranian and mhadi army reprisals against the soldiers, they had 10 times the troop numbers we had, the British troops fought a massive imbalance, thats the governments fault for penny pinching, not the British. The fact is Basra was one of the few success in Iraq early on, it was Iran that caused the escalation against the locals and allies.

    Again, if Argentina had any guts to confront anyone other than a small group if islands off the southern tip, populated by farmers, then you'd be in a position to lecture about wars in a land you have no idea about.

    Well NicoDimwit, posting in your native language is futile my friend as your not the only one that speaks it. Also Britian and the US did win the Iraq war. In fact, britian has not lost a war militaryly since the war of independence against british colonists in what is now the US, so technically war against fellow british people. We also did not lose the 1812-1815 war of american attempts to expand inot canada which resulted in the capture and burning of washington Dc including the whitehouse. The 1812-15 war was als fought whist the british were fighting the Nepoleonic wars that we won. In the early 1900's you have the boer wars, which were not a military loss either ende in more of a stalemate. so techinically britian has not lost a war for over 200 years.

    As for your response to Malen that translates to ”Paint” of all words lol. well my friend if you provided factual counter arguments instead of made up nonsense then perhaps you would find yourself making more progress in your war of words with us, but atlas you can not so this war of words looks like another ar won by us british.

    @Teaboy2

    Dear Sir,

    I do agree with you that translators are not good enough to get the right meaning from a sentence wrote in other language.

    Learning a language requires investing in education for many years, a lot of reading, practices and after you got some basic knowledge of the language, you need to experience it in the real world with nationals mother tongues in situ. That is the point when you arrive to the conclusion that all you have learned was not enough to make your shopping in the supermarket.

    Seems my translator works better than yours. What do you think?

    Hello dear Isolde,

    “Did you write it yourself”
    Yes, but with this English you cannot survive in London believe me.

    “yes l was a teacher”
    really?

    Well I guess you have many potential clients here, like Briton and Teaboy2 haha.

    My “may I go to the bathroom, please” turned into I have to take a .....

    My “would you like something to drink” to “what do you have”
    Underground turned into Tube
    Pounds turned into Quids.
    Leicester Square tuned into Luster square

    Once someone told me that I speak like an old lady or a girl, this is not good for a man? Isn’t it?
    Because I used Bottom instead of...

    So with Got everywhere, what the F and the right accent voila you turn in the perfect English.

    See it by yourself.

    Don't tell me what I say.
    We say we want to be British, and that is self- determination. That is what we want. You can't say self- determination is only allowed if we choose what you want.
    And you can say we are a 'special case' if you like but that doesn't make it true. Implanted by whom, and how? How is an 8th generation Falkland Islander 'implanted'?How were any of us 'implanted'?
    What do you propose happens to this 'implanted population'? How do you see things turning out?

    Lol malen (aka melonhead) you do talk a lot rubbish. The islanders have the right to choose what nationality they wish to be regardless of their the islands location, hell if the people of Buenos aires voted via the right of self determination to be brits, they can and nothing argentina can do about it. Just like the people of kosovo used their right to self determination to no longer be part of serbia.

    “self determination is being british in malvinas?? ”

    Self-determination and becoming independent aren't synonymous.

    “self determination is the principle in international law, that nations have the right to freely choose their sovereignty and international political status”

    So, yes, choosing to remain British rather than become independent or a colony of Argentina is them exercising their self-determination.

    Why should they be penalised for not declaring independence?

    If Argentina managed to gain control of the islands, what would happen then? I would think that the population wouldn't accept Argentine sovereignty, and declare independence.

    Campaigning against an old colonial power is one thing, but trying to subjugate a newly independent nation of the Americas to colonial rule is not going to gain much support.

    @#119 NicoDimWit

    Get right NicoDimWit, it was I's post in post #4 that started the Falklands debate here with her reference to what happened in 1833 as quoted below.

    “And I conccur, sorry won't do.
    I bid anything if they where Mexican in USA or Colombian military USA would use the excuse to blow them out of the map, maybe they should be bared from ever landing in Argentina, I think something like this happend already in 1833.”

    So no it wasn't myself that started but your fellow countrywoman. Oh and falsely accusing myself of starting the debate, is defamatory - if only i knew your ID to take you to court and make you a poorer man than you already are, by sueing you for it. But hey, you argetinians are the experts when i comes to making false claims lol.

    Anyway, you say you can't imagine being Spanish. Well I can't imagine being Argentine and I don't want to. We are Islanders first, and the only way we can carry on being that is to stay British

    And what exactly have i said to you or about you that is false? Ummmm nothing, unless you want to argue argentinas claim to sovereignty in court that contradicts that of british claims (though i dont think your goevernment would be pleased about that since they wont even goto the ICJ). Oh and the way, finanically i am a very very well off, so id be more than happy to take this case on, in fact, would you like me to start consulting my lawyers, or shall i contact mr webber first, who has no website that i can find on google (strange that for an international letter).

    lf this is so, then l invite you to leave.
