Jan 31st, 2013 - 09:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0That means that he'll have nowhere to run when the angry mob arrives to demand justice.
Or maybe they won't. They'll just wait for him to show up, then arrest him for treason against Israel.
Whichever way it goes down, it won't be pretty.
Yup, CFK and Timmidman really know how to p!ss off people who were supposed to be their allies.
Now that Argentina is in bed with Iran, they'll be put on Israel's enemy list. Not a place that most countries (especially those with very little international support) would opt for.
If Titmann had been in Europe 70 years ago he would have been in the 'meet and greet' team at the gates of Auschwitz.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 09:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0He is an unprincipled twat
it does make doing business with the argentinean government difficult as doing business with IRan instantly makes you at risk of giving pass-through payments which could violate sanctions laws. This could impact any future investment in government organistaions such as YPF...
Jan 31st, 2013 - 09:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0His wikipedia page says “He was named editor-in-chief of La Tarde in 1976” so he was the editor in chief tarde, I would suggest he still is.

Jan 31st, 2013 - 12:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Israelis will never turn their backs on the Argentines. They'll still be there giving them military support, military advisers, and military information, even with the lack-of-truth commission.
It's all just a part of their 'big game'
Ooooo trouble in paradise!!!
Jan 31st, 2013 - 12:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0i guess this is what happens when dictators rub shoulders, Friction!
Argentina closed its doors to Jewish immigrants in 1938, now its opening its doors to that Iranian regime at the expense of its own people. Typical.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 01:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Seems they have still failed to grasp the distinction between sovereignity and impunity.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 01:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Typical Argie behaviour they continually isolate themselves on the world stage. Good for them the sooner they get kicked in to touch by the IMF, WTO, G20 ect the better.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 02:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh well, Israel, having helped Argentina out with Dagger aircraft and weapons to attack the British in 1982, here is the thanks you get. I have to say that the entire process of a Truth Commission looks like complicity after the fact to me.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 05:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Mind you, the events of 1982 made Libya and Israel friends of the Junta, despite their differences. Hopefully, the Israelis will learn to have some principles from now on. If I were Jewish and Argentine, I'd keep my passport handy, and an eye on the door.
Dear mr tinman,
Jan 31st, 2013 - 07:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There are two kinds of men,
A man who brags,
Or a man who does it,
Please,
Why not go tell the Israelis to their faces what you think of them,
After all, not so long ago you were praising them for there support over the Falklands,
Hypercrit.

The ‘memorandum of understanding’ that includes the creation of a ‘truth commission’
Feb 01st, 2013 - 02:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A truth commission, there's an oxymoron if there was one, involving two of the most untruthful nations on the planet.
TRUTH
Feb 01st, 2013 - 02:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Argentinian Government would'nt know the truth if it smacked them in the face
Tit: You know those Mirages you sold us?
Feb 02nd, 2013 - 01:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0Israel: Yes.
Tit: Well we would like to buy some spares, on HP of course.
Israel: Fuck off! get them from Iran. Schmuck!!!!!!!!!!
