On one hand she complains the UK will not be sending a minister knowing full well he is attending the liberation day ceromonies in the islands. If you needed any more evidence how far she will go to lie and cheat her way into being heard this is it. She doed not care about anything other than her own wealth and poltical power.

Jun 14th, 2012 - 10:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Thanks - your info about Betts answers a question I had about the Rattenbach report on Argentina's botched Falklands invasion, because as I recall, news was that it hid name of a Falkland Islander who had collaborated with the invading forces.
Although Betts today didn't say more than he left the Falklands because he was discriminated against for his pro-Argentine views, obviously, if he was an overt collaborator with the invaders, he should have left with them. However, saying one agrees with the Argentine invaders implies agreeing with the fascist Military Junta as well.
However, Penguin News deputy editor John Fowler dished on Betts that he left his second wife and kids in the Falklands so he could take up with an Argentine woman.

Both Papua new Guinea and Sierra Leon supported the islanders, Brazil barely gave argentina anything other than asking britain to be nice to argentina, and the only nations which gave any real support to argentina were Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua, which works quite nicely for us.
All in all it ammounts to a whole pile of nothing, with zero importance or credibility, especially given Syria's presence and babbling tirade.

Argentina is 200 years ahead of the West simply because it never had the atrocious history of warfare the West has had. Instead of talking out of your butt, why not talk from your other butt?
Why don't you post scholarly evidence to suggest South America will be going to war in a few years? Argentina at least won't, all our land borders are settled (one of a handful of countries in the world, compare the rest of South and North America and Europe which still have bureaucracies brimming with litigious border squabbles).
Can you string a sentence in French? Spanish? German? Portuguese? Does the inability to do so make you an imbecile? (or just a moron, going by the IQ chart)
Watching KFC tell some monstrous lies followed by Syria hailing Argentina as the home of human rights was like watching the kiss of death.

They have a skill for growing poppies so they will be employable. Some of the 'Taliban' type who fxxking hate queers and other deviations that seem happen in that country. Hopefully they can blow up the Casa Rosada, something they like to do, is blow things up. Do the Argies have any other assets that they might wish to attack. Probably not.
CFK is a fool to herself, and her people.

Par for the course.
Argentina is indeed a beacon of tolerance next to the likes of Falklands are British :)
Argies seem to love those Afghans. That's why they freed them from the taliban.

Those Argies, they love humanity.

@113 Nothing tolerant about Argentinians when you're pushing 'brown' people (pregnant lady) under trains. The only time you talk to brown people is to give them $50 to vote for neo-hitler.

Tyranny befell the Kurds because once upon a time a foreign power decided to carve out preposterous borders, and shoehorn facticious nationalities upon them.
Jun 14th, 2012 - 11:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Imagine Argentina creating a nation out of southern Ireland, Britain, and nothern France. Another one out of Denmark, western Poland and northern Germany. Another from Southern Germany, Swizerland, Italy and Albania; take Spain and plug it to Occitan and northern Morocco.
Even without such fantastical borders Europeans slaughtered each other for the initial 50 years of XX. Give credit to the Arabs, they've done much better given the circumstances forced upon them.

Jun 14th, 2012 - 11:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you are Argentinian then you are almost certainly an ancestor of an immigrant from probably Spain, Italy or Germany and therefore your history is just as full of the red stuff.
You may think that you've got your borders sown up but others nearby might not have the same view of the world and you have a bit of a history in this arena. Just wait until another Galtieri or Pinochet comes along and they will. Realizing that he is living next to a load of cowardly pussies and wants to settle some old scores and that your country is run by some old Pikey.
The Taliban fxxking hate you gay boys. Live and let live is me.
Beacon of tolerance? Is this the longest period of democracy in Argentina's history? 29 years. Did you involve yourself in chucking pregnant women out of 'planes?
Yes, and maybe by the hand of God.
Tyranny befell the Native Patagonians because once upon a time a foreign power decided to carve out preposterous borders, and shoehorn facticious nationalities upon them.

You're so right!!!
I suppose Ghengis Khan was a mongol flower arranger and Alexander was a macedonian tour guide? Mankind has been slaughtering each other since the first since the first homo sapien picked up a rock. It has nothing to do with borders, everything to do with genes. They just got better at it, thats all, simple as that. Anyone who thinks it will ever be any different is wrong.
Jun 14th, 2012 - 11:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Can anyone else recall when the mad harridan started talking about migrating birds and flowers saying they were a reason for Argentina to have the Falklands? I'm still laughing about it.

Marcos- he is entitled to his opinion - some of us respect freedom of speech - a quality a bit lacking in the relationship between CFK and her cronies and the wider Argentine media I hear?
Jun 15th, 2012 - 12:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0But then he fled the Islands having worked for your military police giving them names of islanders likley to be against them.
Your Govt has trotted him out at the C24 for years!!!! Once he even had his brother there who was an elected councillor on our side - i believe the 2 shook hands as one would expect.
Shame on that aloof infatuated bitch you have as President who preaches peace and reconcilliation - but refused to accept a letter from a group of young Islanders - young Argentines according to her speech!
I love this:
Jun 15th, 2012 - 01:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentine Foreign Affairs ministry resists the idea because you can't take to the ICJ a case over which you consider to have full rights.
- that is exactly the case one would take to the ICJ, a dead cert to be won - so why don't they show the world they have justice on their side?
Because Argentine president Domingo F. Sarmiento acknowledged in 1869 that Argentina the islands were not Argentine?
- thus making it a dead cert looser case.
(From the 2007 article Former Islander running for mayor in Cordoba village http://en.mercopress.com/2007/01/29/former-islander-running-for-mayor-in-cordoba-village )
Timmerman came out withthe usual crap but not Mike Summers and Lyall who nailed the lie about 1833 and produced the 1850 settlement. Oh and thanks to one of the bloggers here I saw something interesting on wiki(if it is true)-In the 1833 incident 80% of the UPotRP militia expelled were BRITISH mercenaries. If this is trueand I haven't sourced this-then in 1833, most of the civilian population on the FIs were from UPotRP who wanted to STAY under British sovereignity, and the militia actually expelled were mostly British!!!That really makes the Argentine accusation that we chucked'their' people off even more hilarious!!!!
Jun 15th, 2012 - 01:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0The reason why the UPotRP garrison did not fight Onslow and co was because they refuse d to fight their British brethren!!! If this is true it just gets better and better anfd the RGs case more and more ridiculous!!!! LOL

Troll, yes, but truth_telling?
Get a grip on Argentine history.
Interspersed by at least 7 civil and military dictatorships Argentina has enjoyed:
una larga serie de sangrientas guerras civiles entre facciones y provincias (1820-1861)
Guerra con el Imperio del Brasil (1825-1828)
la Guerra de la Triple Alianza 1865-1872
Guierilla- and dirty war 1973-1983
la Guerra de las Malvinas 1982
All of them no doubt very peaceful bloody wars and dictatorships.
@125 I concur. She's just completely brain-addled, saying anything that comes to her mind... and a rapper would say 'she ain't got no flow'.
Jun 15th, 2012 - 07:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0An academic would suggest she cannot construct a reasonable argument, but who cares when you're in front of the world's most ridiculous committee.
@126 I read something similar, based upon British mercenaries making up a considerable portion of the Argentine and Chilean navy's at the time. There are many occasions where they have refused to fire on fellow British.
Their history is a lie, they cannot even perform simple academic analysis of what is clearly outstanding historical fact refuting most of their comments.
Instead they have the words of a bitter traitor, a mills and boon author who clearly is upset that his family didn't get to steal the islands making him rich, and some ranting harridan.
I'm not listening to Argentines any more, they just tell lies.
I'm gutted - I fell asleep and missed the entire bunfight. Will there be a Round 2 any time soon?

It was only saved by her personal rent-a-crowd, that she cannot go anywhere without clapping, furiously in a confused manner at the end.

Completely undignified... but what do you expect from the UN.
