Aug 05th, 2013 - 06:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0‘this very principle helped to save many lives during the hard years of the military dictatorships suffered by many countries of the region”. Except those that were thrown out of aircraft of course.
There is a demand that these two issues “definitively find a solution since they are highly sensitive and of great concern for the Latam region”. Oh so it's just about Latam what about the Falklands Island people.
Another non story that will be forgotten next week. Cant wait for the idiot's speech tomorrow hope they put it on line so I can watch all of the security council yawning
Yes, no one spies on our people except for ~us~.

Aug 05th, 2013 - 06:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh....MP, Snowden is not an officer. Officers recruit assets, he was a contract analyst.
@3 what you been spying on us you cheeky monkeys, LOL. FFS how stupid are these people, how do you think we catch terrorists? Just stumble across them, how do you think the US/UK/Russia/Israel etc defend themselves against the maniacs. INTELLIGENCE that's what happens ffs they listen to every phone call and watch every blog on the internet key words alert them that's the idea, if you don't like it don't go on the internet or use your phone, after all if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about eh? Perhaps the Botoxed one is worried they can see her bank account
Aug 05th, 2013 - 07:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I was reading earlier (looking for it) that Argentina is also going to complain about shipments of vessels from Cuba. Is this something to do with the missiles Cuba was shipping to North Korea? She is concerned she might get caught with something?
Aug 05th, 2013 - 07:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They might be suffering from delusions of grandeur. But, maybe they have a little bit of some real weight.
Aug 05th, 2013 - 09:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I was staying in a Central American country with a strong communist component when the U.S. was attacked on 9/11. All the commies/gringo haters thought that it was just sweet justice. They loved it. So, these communists would still rather the U.S. didn't protect themselves and were attacked again.
They destroy their own countries, so they don't see why that wouldn't be a perfectly normal path for any other country.
They are also enjoying standing up to the big, bad, U.S. This is effective politics anywhere in the world.
So, watch for CFK to mimic this same mentality. She'll really be high on herself due to the position Argentina holds and also she'll be doing some especial grandstanding for the upcoming election in her own country. It ought to be quite a speech. Even better than the 10 years of Victory speech.
It is not to be missed. What time in NY is this speech going to happen?
Wonder what BKM thinks about the right to asylum for alleged rapists?
Aug 06th, 2013 - 02:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0“Finally the foreign ministers reiterated their standing concern on two recurring issues: the US blockade on Cuba and Argentina’s claim over Falklands/Malvinas sovereignty.”
Aug 06th, 2013 - 02:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0At which point Ban Ki Moon rolled his eyes, “I am sick of your whinging about the fucking Falklands” he cried. “you are all implanted you morons, you are all colonialists, when are you going to give back the land you stole with your genocide, Leave the Falkland Islanders alone, which part of self-determination don't you understand you ignorant, colonialist wankers”
As he got up to leave, Mr Ban turned to Gollum and said “This bunch of dopey retards might believe your ridiculous 1833 fairy tales, but to me they are your ignorant fantasies, a bunch of murdering rapist trying to steal a territory for two months isn't sovereignty Gollum”.
At this point Gollum, red faced with anger shouted “It's mine, I wants it, they stole it from usssss, precioussss”.

Aug 06th, 2013 - 04:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0You don't catch terrorist.
You catch freedom fighters while you terrorise the world.
Then you brand every oppositor as terrorist.
You don't even take them in front of a judge after branding them.
Not exactly the same.
So you call al qaeda freedom fighters now that your country are allies with them? When will you join them? When you grow balls in a lab? They grow meat so there is hope for you. Do all freedom fighters toss acid in women's face for seeking education? Will that catch on in the south?
Aug 06th, 2013 - 05:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0@9 What a pity that we don't actually do what you say. When we catch them, whatever category they fall into - terrorist, hate preacher, mullah, accomplice, we SHOULD brand them. With a white-hot iron. To the bone on the forehead and to a suitable depth on each cheek. Irrespective of gender or age. Let's see them sneak through border controls when they are properly marked. The best thing is that not even reconstructive surgery can cover such markings up completely.

Aug 06th, 2013 - 07:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0Great post. Laughed my bollocks off reading that.
Is it bad translations or if CFK really talks in circles like that? Is she really that dumb or is she high?
Aug 06th, 2013 - 07:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0I think her brain must look like swiss cheese after all the lithium.
Again....half the world is in conflict & all she wants to talk about is eavesdropping, Morales's dignity & the Falklands.......non of which are going to prevent WW3 !!!
Aug 06th, 2013 - 08:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0@3. The secretary generals job must have one heck of a dental plan because his work day has to suck having to pander to a world of one CFK after another.
Aug 06th, 2013 - 09:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Can anyone give advice on this so-called “presidential immunity”? I've been trying to find this worldwide immunity provision. I can't. As far as I can see, a president may have immunity within his/her own state. A state may have immunity from the courts of other states. There doesn't seem to be any blanket immunity that permits a president to do whatever he/she wants wherever he/she is. That would be an infringement of another state's sovereignty.
Aug 06th, 2013 - 12:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@16 Ain't never heard of it. But as long as a “president” can flee to a country that has no extradition treaty with the country he/she plundered, it will always exist. If you prefer to spend your “retirement” at home there might be sovereign immunity that may cover the government from suit but not necessarily the actor from a president to a rouge prosecutor BUT that can be “waived” if you really really knowingly break the law and enough people with torches and pitchforks are hunkering for a backatcha.
Aug 06th, 2013 - 03:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Its our Mercosur and we will cry if we want to..lol
