    Now CFK is making the same attention-getting noises as Maduro.

    Is this going to lead to stronger powers for the Police or her Praetorian Guard that she created last year??

    Getting nervous?

    Reminds me of Yes Minister when Hacker was terrified that he was on a hit list and then bitterly disappointed when he was deemed not important enough to assassinate.

    While ISIS seem to threaten everyone I'm pretty sure the whole world would be scratching their heads if CFK were the first to bite the biullet.

    What did they do.....call them on the phone? They have no meaningful exterior intelligence. The only thing they can do is gather intel on the political opposition. Go back in your hole you made cunt of Buenos Aires.

    I wonder if the Pope kept a straight face when she told him that?

    Old story mentioned it too here.

    Its that she could not be less than the Pope who had recived the death threats.
    Now if they were true and actually they deliver their threat.....

    Before Jihadi John will cut her head off she will have the world attention on the televised execution so she would be delighted.

    “More makeup, I need a hairdresser Ahmed”.

    Deed is done I Imagine her decapitated head to keep on yapping in front of the cameras long after Jihadi John has send his message to America... With her plastic doll mounth she has stiking out blaming Clarin, the vultures, the companies, the farmers, and the opposition.

    “Are the ISIS thugs for or against the Palestinians?”

    As long as the Palestinians are Muslims they will be safe. Other Palestinians are at risk: remember the Quran as ‘told’ by these and other flavours of similar zealots “kill the Kafirs wherever you find them”.

    That means everybody who are not Muslims has the same death threat as everyone else, including TMBOA, so we are all in “good” company. :o)

    A slightly disconcerting fact of history involves Saladin, who when informed that the city he was about to slaughter all the citizens in had ‘believers’ within the walls he just gave the order anyway ‘because Allah will sort them out’.

    Ah religion: causing unnecessary wars and deaths for thousands of years at many times the numbers of “none religious” war dead.

    The vulture funds conspiring to destroy Argentina and now the Islamic State plotting to kill the Queen of Tarts herself. .. tut, tut, tut.

    The best way to ruin Argentina quickly is by leaving Christina in power ... (for similar reasons, Churchill decided NOT to kill Germany's most incompetent military commander, Adolf Hitler during the Second World War)

    Its not Baghdadi's objective muppet...But if NATO starts bombing them because of some online videos IS posted, then the ragheads oof Europe will be summoned by the call of Jihad to kill in western streets. But from a strategic point of view IS interests are in the Middle East. And the Americans know it.

    I know, but it is a strategy of containment of the part of the Americans. Britain and France cant afford to go because they have let too many Muslims in, but their politicians still live in a bubble and thnk they can fight them in the middle east instead of their own streets.

    The USA will be destroyed by the muslims and quite frankly the deserve it.

    Remember, for every THREAT an extremist makes, the USA spends MILLIONS. For every failed plot, the USA spends billions.

    For every successful attacks... See for yourself.

    http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/09/08/us/sept-11-reckoning/cost-graphic.html?_r=0

    I have been saying this for ages here, warning yankeeboy about it

    Al Qaeda spend 470 thousand, USA spent 3.5 TRILLION.

    And none of that even counts the billons LOST in positive productions by citizens killed as soldiers, all the investments that were NOT made due to fear or retrenchment.

    Also, it is well known the USA central bank kept rates artificially low after the attacks, and they had already been low due to the US financial crisis of 2000. This prolonged low-interest coincides with a massive bubble in the years 2003-2006 of property values, which lead to the United States economic crisis of 2007-2010. Trilions were wiped out, and then another trillion spent on bailing out the wealthy.

    Some say the grand total is closer to 7 or 8 TRILLION.

    So, Al Qaeda spent 1 dollar on their war against the USA.
    USA spent or lost 17 million in the response.

    I think it doesn't take anything further than a 4th grader to realize that if you keep doing that a couple more times, the guy spending 1 dollar wins.

    You are mixing apples and oranges. Toby America is not going to be defeated by Islamic terrorism, Americas greatest threat comes from the demographic differential to the hispanic migrants and the drug cartels in the south. If the Mexicans and the hispanics become the new peronist electoral base of the democrats and progressives US they are headed for trouble. The US has won a war against Al Qaeda but winning the war against terror is an oxymoron its like raging war against disease, illness, corruption. Its not an absolut. What America does is mistakes out of the short sighted and ignorance of its public that determine foreign policy. The people that sit at the Pentagon and the CIA are very bright people, but they dont win elections.

    Toby Muslim countries import over half their calories. Trouble there has only just begun. US is a Ocean away just like Argentina and that is why they will be spared...North Western Europe??? Dont let me even get started. They are plain doomed unless they do something drastic pronto.

    so you are saying then that they are misunderstood
    they are nice people who just want to be left alone,

    and the likes of Britain and the Americans and the rest are not in any kind of danger,
    thus we should not interfear and leave well alone,

    we one thinks thousands and thousands of dead innocent people will greatly disagree with you on that one,
    for that is how you are coming across,
    perhaps you are right and the west is wrong,
    what do I know abt the middle east ??

    “Bottom line, you are murdering Arabs”. Strictly speaking that should be “nihilistic, misogynistic, bloodthirsty, power-freak Arabs.”

    As Bin-Laden once said, “The difference between the Americans and us is they love life, and we love death”. They should be grateful that the US is facilitating their martyrdom and their speedy arrival to the gates of paradise. Personally, satisfying the needs of 70 virgins sounds like a lot of hard work to me, but whatever...

    I think attacking ISIS ( or ISIL, or IS, or whatever they're calling themselves this week ) is a bad idea. You can't kill an idea, especially one with a gestation period exceeding a millenia. There will be others after ISIS. I never thought there would be a terrorist organisation crazier than Al Quaeda and yet...here we are.

    The sectarian divide at the heart of this is is Mohammed's defining legacy and they are going to keep killing each other until they've had enough. The participation of the West just gives them another opportunity to deny responsibility for their own actions.

    If this threat from ISIS did not exist she would invent it; perhaps she did.

    She has taken Maduro's message that a 'threat' allows her to take her country into 'executive defensive measures'.

    This will be essential to her if she is to win the next presidential election against all the odds and all the polls and all the predictions.

    She will announce herself as president-for-life in order to protect the country (and herself and her fortunes) from undefined and 'outside malignant forces'.
