    Thousands of dead Argentines thanks to pesticides, hunger, insecurity. Thanks to this demonic regime. Kiciloff and Timerman hate latio christians by the way. They are genocide. Deny CFK is Jewish all you want. What you can't deny is the results. These scumbags are trying to instigate their own overthrow.

    They told the US to butt out about the AMIA. Somehow, I don't think the US is going to help them at all after all they've done and said against it. Besides, the US knows it's a terrorist supporting regime, among other things. ;)

    Where was the 'WE DEMAND' part of the statement.
    What Micky Mouse government has to hold a press conference to show a letter that they are sending to a diplomat. All this looks like, is Timmerman trying to prove what a good Jew he is and how he hasn't let them down. As always it is someone else's fault, how long has he been in government, yet he blames others for any lack of progress. Too late Sir, the horse has already bolted.

    Argentina, always outside the tent, pissing in. I don't think the US or Israel give a stuff what Argentina thinks or wants.

    Quote : ”We oppose, on political and moral grounds, to any act that promotes violence or violation of sovereignty both in an open or covert way. Argentina feels obliged to reiterate that our territory should not be used for purposes of geopolitical and military interests of third countries.”

    “It is also important to remember the first international terrorism attack conducted in the Republic Argentina, the explosion of the Embassy of Israel in which 29 people were assassinated.”

    No, 1966 was the first, http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=266&dat=19660929&id=ceorAAAAIBAJ&sjid=aWcFAAAAIBAJ&pg=1267,6687762, the Government of CFK has given the surviving hijackers a state pension.

    Why does he have to call a press conference and physically display the letter to the cameras.
    Is it because if he just said “I have written a letter to. ..” no-one would believe him?
    Is his credibility so low that he actually has to show proof of his letter - writing abilities?

    geezsus! What a farce!

    I have to agree that it's a hilarious letter. And tinboy's next stand-up comedy gig will be where?

    'its position “to support the peaceful resolution of conflicts based on negotiations between the involved parties”. How long ago was it that Putrid Jelly was saying argieland would invade the Falklands again except for the British garrison?

    Why would the United States or Israel do anything for a bunch of corrupt, criminal, lying gits?

    Argieland, the pariah state of militarisation, corruption, criminality, deviancy, genocide, larceny and mendacity.

    “The Argentine government does not kidnap people and moves them to secret prisons or detention camps, either. Simply, we are committed to comply with the laws of our country and with international laws on human rights.” Not that they're going to admit. Can we hear about the human rights of the Falkland Islanders that the argie government says don't exist?

    ”Argentina “has been and will remain a land of redemption for millions of people who were persecuted in their home countries,” getting here the opportunity to “progress.” “More importantly, they had the ability to live freely without being persecuted by their origin, ethnicity or religion.” Unlike 3,000 people living peacefully several hundred miles away.

    ”The Argentine people do not have to tolerate, much less to suffer, that our country becomes a theater of political operations, intelligence, or worse, a theater of events and more severe actions, conflicts that are completely unrelated to our history, our idiosyncrasy and our way of life.” And if we were to replace 'Argentine people' with 'people of the Falkland Islands?

    I looked carefully at the pictures. He looked serious. As though he meant it. Dozy, hypocritical bastard ass-licker.

    An exercise in self-aggrandisement if ever there was one.

    Seriously doubt that Kerry or Lieberman actually even read the letter.

    This is the man who is petrified by Jan Cheek! He is actually credited on the web with being a human rights champion. LOL!!!!

    He has no concept of Human Rights and has done absolutely nothing in that sphere of any consequence. He is a disaster as a foreign minister serving only to alienate just about everyone of any consequence on the planet.

    As for the letter, its a joke, someone has got to keep an eye on pariah states, and America particularly has got excellent intelligence to make sure the Argie knuckle draggers dont spread their failure and chaos to neighbouring states.

    The pot banging will reach a crescendo soon

    And proud of the way Nisman was persecuted with a bullet.

    The crazy version of a senator K on the death of Nisman

    The national legislature Misiones, Salvador Cabral, said it was a sex party, which ended in a crime of passion, which was “politically exploited” by Stiusso “to weaken the government.”

    12. Your national pride makes sense in a country known for:

    dog feces

    cowardice

    sloth

    non payment

    cheating

    braggadocio

    deception

    harboring Nazis

    non performance

    ad infinitum, ad nauseam . . .

    Eye hear that the Italians have just finished some naval exercises with the chilien navy

    Apparently the reason the worlds navies don't train with the argentines, is not because they don't like them,
    but because their navy ,,when you can find a dry ship,
    keeps sinking ...lolol

    I think we are seeing a 'K' mis-information campaign where the issue becomes swamped in so much bullshit that they will claim “we can never know the truth” and the usual suspects will escape... or they drag it out for another 20 years etc.
