How does Twitman sleep at night?
Chavez obviously thought he owned the ALBA group and that all members would be bullied into supporting him whether they chose to or not. What a surprise. I'm glad he's getting involved as he makes even CFK look clever. Does she really believe he's an ally worth having?

Timerman: “Hi everyone, in an ironic twist of irony, I'm a bit like Joseph Goebbels insofar as you cannot trust one iota of information coming out of my mouth. That is all I have to say.”
Feb 15th, 2012 - 11:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well, well, well. Support for the arguers and the venusians not really available in the Caribbean. Is this surprising? Not really. Can't imagine proper people supporting militaristic aliens bent on conquest!

Not a single Argentine on here yet. Why would that be? LOL!
We will soon be told that it doesn't matter because the whole world supports the RG's anyway. However, Chile is back-peddling wanting good relations with both countries. Uruguay doesn't want a blockade. So just Argentina, Venezuela and ...er...oh... Ecuador then.

So Argentina really has no interest in UN General Assembly Resolution 31/49 because you seem not to do anything enclosed in it.
