Just think about all those waiverers and the “I don't knowers” watching Timerman behaving like a spoilt child and embarrassing himself on the world stage ( again ).
This has given the FIG and WH much more publicity than they could have dared hope for. All they had to do was to lay on the meeting and then watch as Timerman ran circles round himself, told lies to the newspapers and generally showed himself up to be an idiot....
Propaganda gold!!!!!
Good play from England, Brazil is widely dispersed. I think that the next world will see a “Maracanazo”, this time I hope it's from Argentina with Messi.

Feb 06th, 2013 - 11:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Thank you for your continuous comments about a 100% Argentinian nuclear weapon and submarine program.
I have been ambivalent about the UK being a nuclear power and updating our Trident fleet.
You have convinced me that I was wrong and I now support a 100% UK nuclear weapon update with arseholes like you as the main target.
I have a glow of pride when I see our missile boats leaving the Clyde on patrol and when I occasionally visit Gareloch and Loch Long and see the nuclear weapon bunkers covering the Scottish hillside.
God is in his heaven and all's well in the world.
Aren't you green with envy at being so impotent that your lot could not even risk going out to sea in case they broke down. Oh dear, what a pity, never mind.

Feb 07th, 2013 - 12:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0UK undermined the UN??
How did they “undermine” the UN ??
Any evidence?
Racism ?? At the UN??
Where is there evidence of that?? In the C24 perhaps?
'Different rules for different races'?
Any links??
You were counting on different rules from your crony, the Chairman of the C24. Too bad he was overruled by his boss, Ban Ki-moon (Asian, not Latin or British) who said the British had broken no resolutions, and the Islanders had to have a say in the future of the Falklands.
As to your ridiculous link to 'An Alternate History of The Fslklands', here is an example of sloppy, biased, untrue, relating of events,
“ we got a nuclear submarine down there they went back to port and never dared venture out.”30 As the vessels were retreating, British missiles sank the Belgrano, thereby choosing to escalate the war.”
The remaining Argentine Armada did not return to port until HMS Conqueror, submerged and undetected, came across the Belgrano and the destroyers far from the Argentine coast or territorial waters. The sub bided their time while it confirmed the course of the Argentine vessels heading towards the RN Task Force, attempting to encircle it in a pincer formation with their Aircraft Carrier.
The sub sank the Belgrano, with torpedoes ( not missiles), but left the destroyers to pick up their survivors. They chose to abandon them and flee to port, instead.
Quite a different story than your version of events.
The rest of the article is no better.
Why do you persist in lying about the Brits, the Fslklanders, UN racism, and verified history? Why do you feel it is acceptable to call for the death of unarmed civilians including women and children, peacefully living their lives?
Are these things morally acceptable because you WANT their land and their homes??
How can you even pretend to be morally superior to anyone, when you are so filled with pure hatred?
What would B F Skinner say about your 'condition' or your accountability for your actions????
Timerman still can not accept his own countrys history how low can this man stoop?? as below
Feb 07th, 2013 - 01:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0Timerman, 59, batted away suggestions from British reporters that Argentina was also a colonial power, its settler pioneers having colonized land once belonging to indigenous Indians, a comparison Timerman labeled “audacious”.
Argentina has never colonized anyone's land. It annexed in war, through treaties, and by purchases. Very different.
Feb 07th, 2013 - 01:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0Just like you Brits love to say Argentina lost in the Falklands, fair enough, Argentina:
Spain took away Mendoza and San Juan provinces from Chile (before independence)
Went to war with Spain and won (independence)
Went to war with Brazil and won (Brazil lost Uruguay, and most of Iguazu falls)
Fought a joint French-British fleet and won (control of the entire lower Parana Basin)
Went to war with Indian nations and won (the pampas and northern Patagonia)
Went to war with Paraguay and won (Chaco and Formosa Provinces)
Persuaded Bolivia to cede all of the southern Bolivian Puna (most of Jujuy)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puna_de_Atacama_dispute
Arbitrated with Chile and was awarded 85% of the Puna Atacama (western Salta)
Persuaded Welsh/British settlers province to fall under Argentina annexation (Chubut and Santa Cruz)
Persuaded Chile to reach an agreement to give over half of Tierra del Fuego (today's province)
Persuaded Uruguay to cede Martin Garcia Island, creating the current exclave.
Arbitrated over the far southern islands and mostly lost (Chile got 95% of them)
Went to War with the United Kingdom over the Falklands and lost.
Arbitrated over Laguna del Desierto and won 100% (western Santa Cruz)
And those explain ALL of Argentina's expansionist policies and fully explain today's map of Argentina.
No colonization period. Just annexation, wars, treaties, cedes, and arbitrations.d

You always try to pull out the 'native' card when your argument is even more crap that usual. Pirat-H does the same. Pathetic.
If you were really a native Amerindian, you wouldn't be so supportive of Argentina's colonial ambitions.
In fact, if you were a native Amerindian, you should be fighting against the colonialists in Argentina to get you own land back.
Oh but then again, I suppose your ancestors may not have been Spanish speaking from Europe. You could've come from Africa, Asia or the Middle East. I wonder if that is so?
Your statement @58 is a blatant lie. Argentina is a colonising country. The land you live on your ancestors stole from the native peoples. Patagonia was an act of blatant colonialisation where you murdered and ethnically cleansed the indigenous population. You know the definition of colony, don't you Tobais/TTT/Nostril? You know where it originated, don't you? *snigger, snigger*
Are you going to disappear from this forum again in a snit, only to return in a few days time under another psuedoname, this time pretending to be from Ghana, Vietnam, Singapour, Saudi Arabia, just like you always do?

That non-event occurred 180 years ago, They (Argentina) invaded the Falklands close to 31 years ago, leading to the deaths of over 900 people. How dare they hold some bullshit non-event over the Falklands and Britain, and completely ignore their despicable actions of 30 years ago, an event that people lived through and still have to endure the memories.
Scum. Timmerman, his fellow government officials and anyone who believes that nonsense, is scum.

I was shown a French map from 1788 of the Falkland Islands - all details were in the French language and the islands were variously called the Middenland Islands, the Falkland Islands and les Isles Malouines. The place names were in English and French and there was no reference AT ALL to any Spanish connection. Apparently, Alicia Castro was in the shop several weeks ago and when she was shown the map she allegedly claimed it was a fake. Of course, the proprietor of the shop is an expert in the field and guarantees the veracity of the map.

Just embarrassing, I just wonder if his card has seats in animal print and that kind of cheap stuff.
What do you think?
@ 78 Dany Berger - you clearly don't have any perception of the history of the Falkland Islands - in 1600 the French from St Malo had not yet arrived in the archipelago so to be called “Malvinas” in that year is impossible. The map you saw is very clearly a fake.

Feb 08th, 2013 - 10:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0Steady on, that's bit like saying the 18 High Profile Delegations were fake.

Q. What do you call it when you claim other people's land for yourselves and move your population in to start living there??
Would that be “Colonisation”?
Be careful before you answer.
Q. What do you call it when you claim other people's land for yourselves, subjugate the population, and move your population in to start living there??
Would you call that War and Occupation??
Q. What do you call it when you claim other people's land for yourselves, eliminate/remove the Indians (or other former inhabitants), and move your population in to start living there??
Wouldn't that be called “ethnic cleansing”?
Which did Argentina do??
Perhaps you did not “Colonise” the territories you “annexed” after all?? Right??
