Like the US is going to spy on Argentina, please, get over yourselves. It's amazing what total and complete international insignificance will do to an insane president's ego...

”Furthermore Mrs. Kirchner can’t forget the incident with a suitcase stuffed with almost a million US dollars which was caught by Customs in the Buenos Aires airport (allegedly funds from Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez for her presidential campaign). The Argentine leader is convinced it was a setup to derail her campaign and that Washington was behind the affair which had a great impact in the US political establishment.”

Funny thing is - criminals always lie and try to pass the blame on to others when they are caught.

As we said before special opps, end of argument.
the USA will not visit Argentina for reasons of political expedience.
he may not like the British, but sometimes it is not worth pissing them of specially when you need them. Argentina should by now of understood the yanks don’t say sorry unless theirs a reason for it, in this case no apology will be forth coming, you have nothing the yanks want, have you not yet grasped what is happening, south America- Britain- brazil- USA.
you work it out hombre
