@3 Is it the sourness that makes you lazy or the laziness that makes you sour? I cannot say this in Spanish, because let's face it, I'm not poor.

Why do think that everyone from England or who is English is Islamic?
If you can't get everyone at the OAS(-) summit to make a declaration, why not do one of your own.....

@5 Apparently calling me Islamic is supposed to upset me. I don't understand why though, as it's just different strokes for different folks.

I'd like to think that Think was called into the office to help draft her speech. He can usually be relied on to shamelessly distort reality.

Apr 16th, 2012 - 07:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Santos final Summit declaration in English misidentifies the Falkland Islands as the “Malvinas Islands”:
Apr 16th, 2012 - 09:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“On the issue of the Malvinas Islands, all the participants in the Summit have set out their positions of consensus in declarations issued by the Organization of American States. On this occasion, the discussions took place without modifying those decisions and the vast majority of countries called for a peaceful settlement to this dispute.”

For Canada's Harper, not so hard to reject the Latino clamouring about the Falklands, Cuba or drugs, but for Obama, Cuba and drugs are easy to reject but not so easy the Falklands. US is now got fourth-largest Latin-American population, and while the Miami-based Cuban-Americans would support Obama on Cuba and drugs, they tend to go with Argentina on Falklands. Obama is in full WWRD (What Would Romney Do) mode and trying to figure out how to reduce the political blow-back from Republicans. Rejecting the Cuba, Drugs, Falklands resolutions allows Obama's administration and Hilary Clinton to muck about with the quieter stuff down in the “Physical Infrastructure” and Security sections.
perhaps the USA should withdraw from the OAS .

I say: You are intellectually poor Mr. Mohammed and there is not money that can solve your problem, I’m afraid.
