Dec 20th, 2011 - 03:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0Mr. Timmerman......do you know what it means ????? Honoring the word, I say...
Dec 20th, 2011 - 04:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0It´s when someone promise to do something or respect judge's resolutions or treaties and when the moment arrives he does what has promised even if it not benefit him or his cause.....May be some day you will learn to do it....because you didn't so far....
It seems that Timmerman has been illegaly pressuring Uruguayan Gvt. (so weak can you be, Mr. Mujica?) instead.
Thanks Pepe Mujica!! good support from Uruguay!!
Dec 20th, 2011 - 04:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0So - lots of rhetoric about the Falklands flag - which the Spanish vessel WAS NOT flying !
Dec 20th, 2011 - 04:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0Funny :-)
Uruguay has dishonored its UN Treaty obligations under UN Charter Articles 2, 73 and 74 to which it is bound under UN Charter Article 103 and is in breach of the Rome Statute of the ICC by its political and economic persecution of the Falkland Islanders. Uruguay should refrain from such unlawful acts, as should Argentina, MERCOSUR and UNASUR
Dec 20th, 2011 - 08:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0Timerman and his political cronies are mistaken in their rhetoric. There is no colonial enclave in the Falkland Islanders. Rather the people who they alleged are subject to British colonialism by external powers declare to the UN Committee of 24 that tthey have achieved their own desired measure of self-government and chose free political association with Great Britain
Shame on Argentina
Timerman makes me laugh :-)

Thank you Mujica!
Dec 20th, 2011 - 09:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0Bad choice Mujica, and Uraguayan people pay the price, they might as well close the port as any ship sailing in the south atlantic will be considered as supplying the Falklands!!!

Yes, Timmerman. What a strange person. A man who proclaims himself as an expert of Human Rights and a person of Jewish Faith. I wonder if it was his choice to choose Argentina's stance on supporting a Palestine state and for Argentina to cosy up to Iran....
Dec 20th, 2011 - 12:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It costs Uruguay money every time it has to escort a foreign flagged vessel past Argentinian waters to stop it being boarded or attacked by the Argentinian navy.
Dec 20th, 2011 - 01:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Uruguayan President should be thanked for his protection from these 'pirates'.

Dec 20th, 2011 - 02:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What else are they going to do with their vessels, no-one but Argentina is threatening them?
One small corvette size Uruguayan vessel sits off the beach of Piriapolis from time to time doing nothing that I can see.
The Argentinians are checking out rumours that Spanish fishermen are wearing woolly jumpers emblazoned with the Falkland Islands flag. Apparently they are all the rage in Bilbao. Nice gift for Xmas.
Dec 20th, 2011 - 02:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Mr. Timmerman should realise that true solidarity is a two way street. Uruguay has, according to Timmerman, shown solidarity with Argentina. Argentine solidarity with Uruguay has consisted of: 1) illegally allowing so-called greens to block an international bridge for a very long period of time, 2) continually created new red tape to hamper Uruguayan exports to Argentina (although Uruguay buys 3 times more from Argentina than Argentina from Uruguay, 3) dragged its feet for years over the dredging of the Martin García canal, 4) not allowed electric energy powerlines from Paraguay to cross Argentine soil to Uruguay, 5) had its former ambassador meddle in Uruguayan politics, 6) arranged for Zarkozy to untruthfully dub Uruguay a 'fiscal paradise', 7) have sniffer dogs to detect dollars and euros that Argentine citizens are trying to get our of their country (guess why?) and bank in Uruguay or other countries. To name a few. In return, the Mujica administration rushes to do Argentina's bidding. Mercosur is one big joke that nobody takes seriously except for its overpaid bureaucrats, and will probably no longer exist in another ten years. Today's letters to the Editor of Montevideo's El Pais national daily included two about the Falklands - both against the Mujica administration's latest show of obedience to Buenos Aires. Let's hope Uruguay's next government will make up for present policy and preserve Uruguay's dignity and independence. I'm pretty sure that at present well over half Uruguay's population is against Buenos Aires policy, against Mujica's policy and in favour of the Falkands.

Only thing to say on this!
Long Live the Falklands.
Conqueror, please don't call Uruguay an Argentine puppet, although the country's present leader is. He won't last for ever because this is a democracy. The UK had to fight a 3-month action to rid the Falklands of Argentinian invaders. Uruguay had to fight against Argentina for over 10 years, on its own soil and with its own citizen-army.
Dec 21st, 2011 - 12:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0#20 - Quite right. Argentina are such poor losers! I reckon that Uruguay has been fighting for its true independence for much of the last 150 years. The only truly democratic country in South America.
Dec 21st, 2011 - 01:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0Beset by a bullying neighbour. I actually feel sorry for Uruguay. I sorta feel sorry for Mujica !

Peronust Timmerman can't wait to rape and pillage the Falklands. They should concentrate on their own country which they have run into the ground.
