    I'm sure a few people would be quite happy to raise her blood pressure for her.
    Just chant 'Falkland, Falkland, Falkland' outside the Casa Rosada should do it.

    Yes, I don't think she cares about that, cuz it looks like the USA is getting ready for “Democracy for Iran”, and our zionist president Cristina de Kirchner will take part in that campaign against the terrorist Iran(she loves to call Iran that way) , so she will forget about the Falklands for some time. Enjoy :)

    I do not believe it has anything to do with blood pressure. It is probably due to her bipolar disorder kicking-in again.

    Why does this sick old lady want such a hard job? Nestor has left her hundreds of millions of stolen loot. She should just retire in Miami like the rest of the world's dictators.

    She's come off the old fluoxetine and paroxetine - drugs which I know won’t cure her but, equally, they won't kill her either.

    *Why* she has chosen to allow her symptoms to rip at this time is another matter entirely.

    Because the plan is to quit after the re election? for medical reasons?

    Perhaps if she did not work to hard
    After all think of all the good things she has talked about,
    That’s very hard and exhausting work over the years for dear Argentina,
    Talking is hard work, no wonder she has high blood pressure, poor mite,
    Give her a break , and let her fingers do the talking ,laugh laugh
    ,

    Tiger,
    Sra Thatcher is a very old person these days and is suffering the problems of old age.
    CFK is probably somewhat younger - she looks younger but that could be just the surgery. Her problems of mental stability and physiological stability are affecting a whole country,

    whereas Sra Thatcher's altzheimers problems became apparent after - and many years after - she left office.
    She once said that being criticised by Geoffrey Howe, a minister of her own party, was like being savaged by a dead sheep. I listened in real time on 'Today in Parliament' to the terminal savaging that Howe eventually gave her - a savaging which put paid to her career.

    As Churchill would have put it “Some savaging; some sheep!”
