Disclaimer & comment rulesIs this the same USA that some of the clowns on here claim would back Argentina rather than the UK if push came to shove over the Falklands?
Apr 27th, 2012 - 05:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0Is this the same USA that disregards the laws of war all over the world? They don't want Argentina to obey the law, they want them to obey the banks, well as long as Cristina's in charge (hopefully many more presidential terms) they wont. Good

It would be a drastic move but maybe the USA would finally get CFKs attention.They act like spoiled teenagers it is such an embarrassment for their people.

So do any of you peace loving Malvinista dead beats still think the USA would side with Argentina rather than the UK if it got taken behind the tractor shed?
@7 The character was, not the actress. The lady has been well rewarded over the years for her brave decision to take on the role.

Apr 28th, 2012 - 09:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well of course I meant Hayley, the character. If I meant the actual actor I would have said Julie Hesmondhalgh.
I apologise.
Apr 28th, 2012 - 12:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0LOL who is Jacobson?? CFK has meeting with Obama, and he doesn't seem to agree with this woman.
Apr 28th, 2012 - 06:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder what “a positive relationship with the international financial community and its creditors” MEANS....
For this woman maybe a “positive relationship” means taking more and more debt when you know you won't be able to pay it back like Spain, Italy or Greece did??
Argentina has payed more than %60 of its debt during the last 10 years and it is a country with almost no debts compared to the USA, or the european ones in trouble today...
Argentina has had a positive relationship during the last 10 years with the financial speculators, the POSITIVE thing is not taking more debts and being self-sufficient, because it is better than taking debts and also because nobody wanted to lend money to Argentina.
So.... where has this woman been all this time?? Doesn't she know that these “international financial community” didn't lend money to Argentina at cheap rates?? Is that the POSITIVE relationship she is talking about??
This goes for all countries: taking debts at high rates, unless you have a GREAT discovery and an amazing plan for producing is always a good business ONLY for the ones that “lends” the credit.
The world needs to go back to a real economy, to a one where investments create real jobs and produce real goods and services. Nowadays the IMF, Angela Merkel, Cameron, Sarkozi and many others propose to go on supporting this Anarchist Capitalism.

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
PUBLISHED: 28 April 2012
Alleged proposals to allow Argentine widows to legally have sex with their dead husbands for up to six months after their death have been branded a 'complete nonsense'.
The controversial new 'farewell intercourse' law was claimed, in Argentine media, to be part of a raft of measures being introduced by the Peronist-dominated parliament.
Controversial: The 'farewell intercourse' law is 'a complete nonsense', and was confirmed after re-interviewing sources
Sources inside the Argentinian Embassy in London have said the claims were 'completely false', and 'could never imagine it happening'.
The source said the proposal, if it even existed, had not reached the congress- although it was also admitted it could be the work of an extremist politician. Although not officially rebutted, the claims that someone inside Argentina could introduce such a law provoked widespread skepticism.
