How much are we betting on Argentina complaining because she did not include a visit to argentina in her plans, just like they did when Obama didn't include a visit to Argentina in his tour of South America?

I bet £100 they complain about it lol ;))

Argentina has ALREADY HAD these meetings.
CFK and the finance team are absolutely clear about the conditions that must prevail for IMF loans.
I don't think they will complain; they might, however, keep very quiet.

You say she and the IMF are not welcome in argentina, yet your happy to take IMF Loans and spend IMF money such as the 12.5 Billion dollar loan in 2003 that was lent to help argentina recover from their economic crisis.

Crisis or not crisis JB, thats irrelevant. Whats relevant is the fact argentina is still willing to borrow money from IMF and World bank to pay for developments and projects. Or how about the $400 million dollar loan to fund healthcare that was ;oaned to argentina by the WB in april this year. - http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/28/argentina-worldbank-loan-idUSN2828930020110428
