Disclaimer & comment rulesJust like the US government wanted Iran to trust the US government heehee The solution for this in the UK government's mind would be an invasion, like they did in the past. But president Hassan Rouhani is not that stupid, Mercopress, Iranians know you better UK, you're a child of the USA, you're the same thing.

Sep 25th, 2013 - 01:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Pathetic. She got truly fooled by the Iranians, and she is desperately calling on the new Iranian leadership to send to its parliament the agreement it had with Argentina that was very one sided as it was, with no real possibility of having the Iranian suspects submitted to any jurisdiction other than their own. CFK prostituted the deaths of the AMIA, paid a political high price at home and abroad. She generated a deep mistrust in the US as well as betraying Israel a other time ally in the Malvinas war and gained absolutely NOTHING.
Sep 25th, 2013 - 01:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@1 Actually, technically speaking, the USA is a child of the UK. Probably be best if you read some proper history books. Not those comic strips the argie government sends to schools. But we believe Tehran/Iran. We believed when it said it wanted to wipe Israel of the face of the planet. We believed when it started developing missiles with a greater and greater range. We believed when it said it would close the Strait of Hormuz and attack anything attempting to pass through. What a shame that half the Strait belongs to the UAE and Oman. That means that, even before it attacks anything, Iran would be committing an act of war. Isn't it strange how no-hope countries totally ignore international law. For example, the shipping lanes in the Strait are in Omani waters. As of January 2012, three U.S. carrier battle groups operate in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea. Those three carriers carry combat aircraft whose numbers are about half of the entire Iranian air force. However, if only Iranian combat aircraft are counted, the U.S. outnumbers the Iranians by about 70 aircraft. A prime example of a “no-hope” country. The U.S. has 10 carrier battle groups in service. That's a combat capability of 900 aircraft. It's much the same with argieland. The argie navy has 25 “combat” vessels. Most are unusable. Engine problems, lack of spares, lack of training, unarmed because the ordnance has expired, lack of maintenance and cost issues. Doubt it would even dare leave port if it was considered hostile. The argie air force is much the same. Prone to having its wings fall off! And, as noted in a comment on another article, “led” by a psychiatric case.
Sep 25th, 2013 - 02:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@2 I don't think she got fooled at all. She sold the AMIA victims and their families down the river in exchange for trade. She knew what she was doing. She knew that even if the Iranians involved “fell out of favor” with the regime they'd never hand them over. She knew who she was throwing under the bus. She didn't care as long as she got deals from Tehran.
Sep 25th, 2013 - 03:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I desagree, Argentina’s trade with Iran had been increasing in the previous years independently of the continual refusal of the Iranians to hand over the suspects. In fact Lanata brought to light some months ago how D’ Elia a well known anti-Semitic and Kirchnerist that become from a thug to a businessman overnight thanks to contracts facilitated by his connections to the government, it was also revealed that D'Elia went on a middle eastern tour established well known links with the Iranians and was planning to arrange selling the Iranians soy bean shipments long before this arrangement even came to light. She did this arrangement as one of Chavez’s last requests before he died earlier this year, that was for Argentina to reconcile with Iran, as a way to make easier a political alliance with the Bolivarian countries. The AMIA attacks where a stone in their shoes. But what the Iranians did was to actually fool her and humiliate her…
Sep 25th, 2013 - 04:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@6 I'm a little worried for your country if she didn't see something that obvious coming :-/ But it also brings to question what will happen post CFK. Will her successor (her party or no) be bound follow in the role of Charlie Brown to Iran's Lucy now that she will be out of the picture and Chavez is reduced to a really bad hat accessory.
Sep 25th, 2013 - 06:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Who elected her to speak about world problems,
Sep 25th, 2013 - 06:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0she created most of them,
well, the failed bits ..lol
Iran may not be a threat to the world but the stone-age Mullahs and their indoctrinated Muslim followers most certainly are.
Sep 25th, 2013 - 07:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's just like The Dark Country. Decent Persians ruled by demagogues to their advantage only and unable to get rid of the crap. No wonder TMBOA thinks they are made for each other.
As always, she moans how “badly” Argentina is treated by nearly all the other countries just for home consumption, I wonder if anybody was listening?
Aparently she thinks she has a right to slag of others,
Sep 25th, 2013 - 07:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0but others have no rights back to her..
@7I don’t know what that expression “role of Charlie Brown to Iran's Lucy” means for sure cause if never watched that cartoon. I was into Top Cat LOL…. No, Cristina of course knew that the Iranians will never give in their suspects.
Sep 25th, 2013 - 07:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The up and coming Sergio Massa which is mustering the Peronist party and structure and rarely gives any real and substantial definitions as what he really wants to do in the future, has already said to the AMIA families that the arrangement with Iran is rubbish. Wikileaks declassified cables exposed him that he was also in the US embassy speaking behind Nestor Kirchner been Massa himself at that time Chief Cabinet minister. So these are slight indications he might be more pro western or non aligned foreign policy
You see basically after Chavez died there was a need for a successor for the regional role the Venezuelan tyrant fulfilled as the leader of the so called Bolivarian axis ( Nicaragua, Ecuador, Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia and to lesser extent Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil) a sort of figure head fiercely speaking out against US “imperialism in the region” and the main candidates for such role by the left wing latinamericans where Correa, Maduro and Cristina. But Cristina of course lacked the sort geopolitical credentials and she is not selling very well her image outside Argentina into Latam with her fancy and posh clothes that she wears and arrogant character. She felt she couldn’t be anti Iranian any longer
I think people see it the wrong way.
Sep 25th, 2013 - 09:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina's new alignment in the world is not about how trustworthy Iran is, it is about how untrustworthy and sleazy North America and Europe are.
12)And for that does Argentina need to sell out its victims of the AMIA ??
Sep 25th, 2013 - 11:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0# 13 Don't be so sad, the US will sign a treaty with Iran for you to be happy.

Sep 26th, 2013 - 12:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0They were sold out long ago by the fact that Argentina was not allowed to retaliate because the USA/Europe forced argentina to sign a nuclear treaty and to abandon the rocket program. Had be actually continued the program, we would have had nuclear bombs by 1985 and delivery systems by 1995.
Then Iran would have left us alone.
Join the CNA- the campaign to nuke Argentina.
Sep 26th, 2013 - 02:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0The only good argentine is a vapourised one
The above sounds like the par for the course mentality prevalent in Londonistan, United Emirates of Britain and Northern Ireland.
Sep 26th, 2013 - 02:13 am - Link - Report abuse 015) I remember the Iranian backed bombings of late 2011 in New Delhi. INDIA has the nuclear capability of erasing Iran, but kept very quiet. Nobody answers terrorist attacks with nuclear strikes. Argentina lost all chances of getting any sort of justice in the 90s. Now it’s late, sure. But there was no need to degrade the country to an Iranian humiliation

Sep 26th, 2013 - 06:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0Good comment. I agree with your assessment.
Ignore brasherboot - he's a troll. It's easier not to feed them.
Unfortunately we are all plagued with them.
@18 Add to that every other terrorist attack, many on nations with confirmed or everyone-knows-it nuclear capacity. Not one retaliation with their nukes. That's why terrorist apologists brag about “asymmetric warfare.”
Sep 26th, 2013 - 02:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A British terrorist behind the attacks in Kenia, the world should invade the UK, using the British logic of course. These Brits are so lost in life, thinking they really mean something to us in Argentina or Brazil or India or Africa or in the USA.

@21 Wrong again a brainwashed Brit married to a Muslim participated, and we don't give a shit if we mean anything to you, as far as I am concerned you are something that I scrape off my shoe, a bully nation that thinks it is something special when in fact it's just a pariah state about to implode and unable to repay it's debt's to the decent world. The world will continue to laugh at your leaders stupid inane comments, however, I think the other countries you mention don't agree with your comments
