Sep 29th, 2011 - 04:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Illuminating comparison on the historic position and behavior of the leaders of Argentina and UK
1) Argentina:
”...Argentine scientists have never used their neurons to destroy the lives of other beings. We are peaceful people, good people, not everyone can say that” Fernández de Kirchner stressed
2) UK
Mr Mitterrand´s words (ex presidente of France) about Tatcher..
“Excuse me. I had a difference to settle with the Iron Lady. That Thatcher, what an impossible woman!” the president said as he arrived, more than 45 minutes late, on May 7 1982. “With her four nuclear submarines in the south Atlantic, she's threatening to unleash an atomic weapon against Argentina if I don't provide her with the secret codes that will make the missiles we sold the Argentinians deaf and blind..”

“Argentine scientists have never used their neurons to destroy the lives of other beings. We are peaceful people, good people, not everyone can say that” there it goes again, the victimization again and again and again. We are good people and the other people are bad. The damage that this woman and her followers are doing to Argentina will last for centuries. Resentment, hatred and victimization, what a combo!!!
Sep 29th, 2011 - 04:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@ 1 it was a war, what did you expect? stop trying to look like victims, argentina is certainly not a victim. When you do something to people, people will do something to you, get it right for once in your life.

With all due respect you Is Argentina and British? better explicate what damage you are doing in Argentina? Resentment and persecution who?.
Thank you very much.
I don’t normally agree with XBOX
Sep 29th, 2011 - 07:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But on the occasion,
The only brain dead are you two,
Anti British, this is due to being indoctrinated as children
Where in the article does it mention Britain?
Or any other countries for that mater,
Every time your master speaks, out come the anti British rubbish by her robots,
briton you are corect to a degree but the Anti Argentine side completely ignore the incredible growth of Argentina and its rapidly developing industrial base.
Sep 29th, 2011 - 08:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@6 .... rapidly developing industrial base? Bringing Blackberrys into Navarino Norte ( known by some RG squatters as Ushuaia ) and putting them into 'Made in Argentina' packaging?????
Sep 29th, 2011 - 08:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm having a bit of a deja vu moment all over again about that .......
Only Argentina can claim to be a leader when in fact it is using the technology of another country!
Sep 29th, 2011 - 08:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Thatcher said what she needed to get the codes from the French. That is effective diplomacy (the kind that results in action). Argentina would be best advised to learn from it as it is getting nowhere with it's pathetic wingding. But perhaps it doesn't really want to get anywhere?
The drill bit keeps turning.
some people here are bent on criticising argentina or its government even if it has nothing to do with the news story.
Sep 29th, 2011 - 09:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0and @8 - argentina has exported nuclear technology in the past. some australian nuclear plants were built in cooperation with argentina. and what do you mean by “effective diplomacy”? if threatening to use nuclear weapons is “effective diplomacy” then congratulations on sharing the same rhetoric as North Korea.
the only way for argentina to “learn from it” would be to acquire nuclear weaponry of its own - as should every other country in the world for that matter. sorry but your way of thinking is both unsettling and arrogant.
Frankie baby you can delude yourself all you like with little pices pulled from Clarin but the facts are Argentinas industrial production is growing faster than anybody else except China
Sep 29th, 2011 - 09:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If I wish to be arrogant then that is my prerogative. You are in no position to do anything about it.
Sep 29th, 2011 - 09:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Thatcher said what she said and the French blinked. Successful diplomacy, job done. Don't like it? Tough!
@9 Which particular Australian nuclear plants were they exactly ???
Sep 29th, 2011 - 09:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Apart from Lucas Heights research facility Australia has no nuclear plants.
@11 she sent nuclear weapons to the south atlantic ffs! successful diplomacy my arse. the french didn't blink. they knew that woman was completely out of her mind.

Your ignorance about Argentina,is AMAZING,corned beef......

I don't know if there is any oil in the Malvinas basin (the drill by your drillers found only sand and no oil). I do know that there is a massive amount in the North Falkland Basin and we have 2016 as the date for the first oil to flow to market. Looking forward to the results of 14/10-8 in mid October.
Sep 29th, 2011 - 09:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Troneas - They gave us the codes and that saved many Brtish lives, that is the duty of a leader, especially to our countires troops in a time of war. CFK is officially out of her mind (is she medicated) but we do not worry about her, she is there for entertainment purposes only.
Here more info about Australia's OPAL Reactor
Sep 29th, 2011 - 09:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0ANSTO is the agency:
ANSTO’s Executive Director, Dr Ian Smith, said it was an historic day for Australia and a major step forward for Australian science.
“OPAL is the jewel in the crown of Australian nuclear science, and is Australia’s largest single scientific investment,” said Dr Smith. “It is destined to be one of the top three reactors in the world for scientific research.
OPAL replaces ANSTO’s previous reactor HIFAR2, which was shut down at the end of January. OPAL was designed by Argentine reactor designers, INVAP, who also manufactured the “nuclear” components.

Well there you go.... I stand corrected..... the reactor at Lucas Heights has been replaced ....
Sep 29th, 2011 - 09:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That is rigth,Frank!
Sep 29th, 2011 - 11:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Lucas Heigths was the place for the older reactor as well as the new one.
As you guys openly support terrorists,
Sep 30th, 2011 - 06:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0[well] on paper anyway, I think the wells are safe ,
Argentina and her friends would not even try,
Even your leader would not risk her plastics .
,
“Argentina is leader in the use of nuclear power for peaceful purposes.”
Sep 30th, 2011 - 09:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No, I'm pretty sure she did not say this.
She might have said 'Argentina is one of the nations that have nuclear power stations and have not developed nuclear weapons, like North Korea and Iran.“
But she could not claim world *leadership* in the province of nuclear power generation.
Even CFK would not be that crass.
On the other hand, she did say ”we are the country, after China, with the most economic growth in the world”.
So perhaps it's crassness, or perhaps just lack of basic economic understanding.
