Disclaimer & comment rulesMan she was quick off the mark, decision yesterday, visas for RG military personel to fly to Ghana the same day! Meanwhile the Ghanaians are debateing the ruling.
Dec 17th, 2012 - 07:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0You would think she had won a major victory!!! What a embarrassment, it might not even get released by Ghana.
Dec 17th, 2012 - 08:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0I thought that at the very least Libertad would continue her goodwill voyage to Angola and South Africa.
Dec 17th, 2012 - 08:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0Just not game I guess.... I bet that *if* she gets back to RGland she never goes OS again.
I understand that there are plans afoot to prevent this from happening again, the ship is to be reregistered in the Bahamas!
Dec 17th, 2012 - 08:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0Hopefully for the sake of the Tema port authorities, there is something in the ruling which says that all port and berthing charges must be paid in full before the chain comes off the vessel.
Dec 17th, 2012 - 08:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0I was going to say there was no way they would pay the charges, then again the Port Authorities could go back to the courts and obtain an order to prevent her from sailing until they do, now there's a thought.
Dec 17th, 2012 - 09:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0@6 reality check
Dec 17th, 2012 - 10:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0Remember that Ghana tried to move the vessel from the dock to free up the expensive docking slot and it was the Argentine crew of frigate who pulled guns on the Ghanaians to prevent that happening. So they should pay the docking bill at least from that day until the ship is released.
It is arrogant in the extreme to be sending a crew over there when the Ghanians haven't decided whether its going anywhere or not yet.
Dec 17th, 2012 - 10:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0This whole situation is going to continue to be the gift that keeps on giving though. Does CFK think these hedge funds are simply going to go away, they are going to come back more forceful and angry than ever.
This is just the first installment of many i'm sure, i hope!
Posters here seem to think this is an issue between Argentina and Ghana...
Dec 17th, 2012 - 11:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0This is an issue around Ghana's neck they will be more than happy to rid themselves of...
@9 Stevie
Dec 17th, 2012 - 12:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You're absolutely right. It's a no-win from Ghana's viewpoint that they'll be happy enough to get rid of within the rule of law (kinda like the whole Assange mess between the UK, Sweden and Ecuador)
I assume the crew will not be flying aerlineas to sail the Libertad back. Will they have the money to pay for the flight.....lol
Dec 17th, 2012 - 01:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0so did they pay the money back they borrowed or not????
Dec 17th, 2012 - 01:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Given the amount of Argentine ships that can't even manage to militarise the South Atlantic without breaking down, any bets on if the Libertard will actually reach Argentina? (Or do its sails work)?
Dec 17th, 2012 - 02:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The judgement of the court of the sea was expectable, because there is a basic principle of international public right that says that none war ship can be impounded. The vultures and the ghana's government know that what both did was absolutly shameful and illegal, and i'm sure that both knew that in case tha argentina decided to recur to the court of the sea, it would determine that the frigate should be brought back to argentina. However, the true intention of those so called vultures, is to push the government in order to get from the government the same benefits that could get the holders who accepted some of the two interchanges of debt from 2005 and 2010. In fact since 2003, 28 argentina goods around the world were restrained by those vultures, including embassies and the san martin's house in boulogne sur mer in france, however, we could recover they all. The battle against the vultures will continue and the rest of the world should fight also against the misserable capitalism that those guys prented to continue imopsing around the world. Now that we could recover the frigate, then i hope that c. f. k solicits minister puricelli his renounce, because all this problem is absolutly because him, due to he decided to ignore the advertences from our chancery, which had warned him about how dangerous it was, if he deciced to change the destiny of the frigate.

Axel, what drug are you taking??????
This whole problem was due to Moreno and Timerman, who insisted on the visit to Ghana AGAINST the advice of Puricelli and the Navy. As usual you are lapping up Camporista propaganda and regurgitating it on this thread!!!!!
Ghana should make the statement that kirchner made when it looked like the NY court of appeals was going to ruler against HER, Ghana may noit recoginize the ruling as it voilates Ghana's constitution.
Dec 17th, 2012 - 02:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Question....if MNL are vultures for trying to collect on a legally binding contract of money that was givien to argentina......what do we call argentina for taking in 100,000,000,000 in US dollars and deciding to only give back 30,000,000,000? 70,000,000,000 nicely tucked somewhere and I doubt it's with nazi nestor 2 meters in the ground.

Dec 17th, 2012 - 02:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@14 Yes, Axel. There there now. The vultures are out to get you. I owe $5 to my neighbor, but I'm not paying back that vulture unless he decides to restructure the debt to $1.50. We shall pelt those vulgar vulturely vultures with their own vulturely vulture-ness!
Dec 17th, 2012 - 02:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But first, we might have to put you in a nice place with white walls and a nice comfy coat, so you can hug yourself while the vulture's voices are in your head. The nice guys in white coats will scare the vultures away with daily doses of candy.

Maybe the vulture funds will finally realize that IMF kept their lunch money. Some people here come asking for money here is a link that can tell them where the money is, a catch 22, it doesn't surprise me that no court will take them as serious as corrupt regimes, since it was a corrupt regime who wrote the paper work for the original IMF loans to Argentina, it goes with the say, you can fool some people some times, but you can't full everyone all of the time.

Ejection from the IMF could lead to a variety of economic and political penalties, including exclusion from the G20 of industrial nations. IMF rules state that member states “must not co-operate with a non-member in practices that would be contrary to … the purposes of the Fund”.

It is the one of many great sail training ships operated by the Navies of the Americas. Of all of those ships, it is the only one built in the Americas, including my country the USA. It holds numerous sailing awards. It was the first ship that started construction in the first shipyard in Latin America, the Rio Santiago shipyard, inaugurated in 1953 by President Juan Peron. It is still one of the worlds largest and contains the largest machine shop in Latin America, including Brazil and many European nations. The ships first ribbet was installed by President Peron on the hull of this ship on inauguration day. The ship was built to serve as a school ship and an embassador of good will. Engineers and Navy Cadets participated in its design and construction.
That “old rust bucket” General Belgrano is one of the great ships operated by my contry the USA in WWII. It was named the USS Phoenix and it was one of the few survivors of Pearl Harbor attack. Its AA guns defended the Harbor and later sailed safely out to sea to enter the war as one of the US Navies most decorated ships for its actions during the war. Sadly it fell victim to a cowardly attack by a demented leader and nation in decline seeking to relive the glories of its past by occupying lands that don't belong to it. Would you like some vaseline to relieve the pain?
The olnly vasaline needed would be to sooth your mouth when i smack you-oh and yes Belgrano was great when North American but you my friend should hang your head in shame living in a great country like uSA and supporting a woman like Hitler Cristina, if you like SS Argieland so much why not go live there ???

Dec 18th, 2012 - 03:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0The Belgrano was born a great ship as the Phoenix and died as a great ship, as it would have if it had sufferd the same fate in WWII. Fortunately it did not. It was attacked by order of the Evil Empires leadership while heading towards harbor when there were signs of an impending halt to hostilities. Obviously can't take a beating of the facts. I will inform you, sir, that there are many here in the USA that support Cristina and would give much to have Obama with equivalent Balls to her Ovaries. I did live in Argentina and learned much about it. They do have their problems, like any other nation, but there are many more pluses to their society than minuses. Most of you Brit IDIOT Turnips have never been there and only talk out of your as--s based on what you read in the Merco-Clarin-Press like publications.
I was born in the USA and live in the USA. I am dealing with our problems and our financial crisis.
Yeah right well take your sorry ass to Argentina and deal with it from there you would last 5 mins

Dec 18th, 2012 - 08:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Bullshit, the Belgrano was part of a two pronged attack on the British task force, she was withdrawing because your carrier could not lauch her aircraft as part of that attack. Even her Captain acknowledged the attack on her was legitimate.
Your fleet withdrew back to port and never came out again, which is just as well, because there was a second SSB stationed to the north of the British battle group and your carrier could easily have shared the same fate.
Evil Empire my ass, you pulled the Lions tail and it turned round and bit your head off. You'll think twice before pulling the same stunt again, stick to the minors and let the real teams play in the major leagues!

Dec 18th, 2012 - 11:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0You are about a North American citizen of the USA as much snow falls in Puerto Iguazu in the winter. You may be living in the USA, perhaps on an over extended passport, but you fail in speaking anything like an American.
There is not one natural born American citizen that I have ever come across in my travels of both business and pleasure that is no a total supporter of the UK and feels that they a the USA's only natural and ongoing supporter and brother. So stop being embarrassed about being and Argentine and get over it and stop calling yourself a citizen of the USA. Be proud of being an Argentine outcast.
I guess that all Argentinian commercial ships will be re-designated as Argentinian warships, or all will be given Flags of Convenience.
Dec 18th, 2012 - 11:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0And all Argentinian airline's planes will be designated as warplanes or will be given a non-Argentinian statement of ownership - perhaps some little island off Antarctica.
But wait ... surely Argentina trades in things that those owed money by Argentina can appropriate 'in lieu'. Oil? Gas? Or will all produced be used within the borders?
Argentina is beginning to feel as if it is surrounded by a hostile world
... I wonder if this is what Paraguay feels like.
South Americans go north to live in USA for one reason and one reason only and thats for a BETTER LIFE something there own miserable countrys are unable to offer so if you want to support this failing state of Argentina and it's corupt governmant get on the next plane out and do it from your mother land,for some reason I don'r belive we will see a mad rush to the airports.

I'm pretty sure that any prime minister would have gone to war over the Falklands. Fighting against expansionist Nazism (peronism) is as valid today as it was in 1982 and 1935.

It is a shame that you are so ashamed of being Argentine that you have to hide behind a faux North American persona.
You should be proud to be Argentine, there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, except that we have a corrupt and criminal government overseen by a thoroughly avaricious and criminal woman.
Other than that humilliation we have a lot to be proud of, we have some of the most beautiful country in the world and some really super people. Unfortunately we also have growing inflation, growing poverty, growing street crime, destroyed infrastructure, destroyed economy, unbeleivably corrupt government, but apart from that life here in Argentina is pretty damned good!!!!!

Simone I think ProRG should be ashamed of someone like the kirchner's ruining Argentina by lying to the people, destroying worldwide credibility, ignoring financial responsibilites, facing situation after situation like the Libertad and taking the country to a communist position, which appears to be the ultimate goal. It's like she will not quit until no one trades with Argentina, yet she is always begging oilmanSomehow. I think ProRG takes pride in pretending to be a USA as if it is doing an honorable thing trolling here. I find it interesting that many of the kirchner supporters seem to live in other countries and not Argentina.

Correction we Argentine love CFK and come to give her support and remind outsiders that they should keep their opinions to fix their own nations rather then troll in Argentina's news comment boards to trash my country.

I want to tell you something, and i hope this is the first and the last time i tell it to you, if somebody doesn't have enough intellectual honesty when he wants to discuss about something so complicated like politic issues, then he can't debate about it. Most your answers are really so shanmefull and pathetic, the fact that you don't agree with most c. f. k's policies, it doens't mean that you have to buy so easily the distortions and the lies of the most reactionary newspapers that are against her government. Beside, why dont you propose different ideas for the country, or why dont you join some politic organization that represents your ideas?. If i decided to start being an activist, it's because despite some controversies of c. f. k's government, according to my ideologies, it is the best government after a great president like arturo illia, and i will continue defending it, and claiming for what the gov. hasn't done yet, like the right to a legal abortion for amy the women, a better transportaton sistem, because some lines of trains are a disaster, more transparency in her administration etc etc. If your arguments are, kretina kretina kretina, or the distortions of the reactionary press, then i understand why you have such a low level of debate.
