Argentina slams UK over military boost in
[Iran Press TV] Argentina...a country located on the other side of the Deep South. It is covered with Pampers and inhabited by Grouchos, who dance the Tangle. They used to have some islands called the Malvinas located where the Falklands are now. They're not supposed to cry for Evita... says Britannia's move to boost its military presence in the Malvinas Islands, known as the Falklands to the British, is a "provocation" and pre-election stunt. "This business from Great Britannia is a provocation, not just to Argentina but also to the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... ," Argentinean Foreign Minister Hector Timerman said on Wednesday, referring to Britannia's so-called defense initiative over the Malvinas Islands. On Tuesday, British Defense Secretary Michael Fallon announced a £180-million (USD 268 million) package over 10 years to counter Argentina's "continuous intimidation" in the disputed South Atlantic islands. Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Don Smilzo looked for an avenue of escape. The only window opened a hundred feet above the moat. The nearest of the hired assassins hold a bloody axe. The window was looking better all the time.... Timerman said on Wednesday that Buenos Aires would file a formal complaint with the UN and the Decolonization Committee, which adopted a resolution calling on Britannia to negotiate with Argentina on the islands' status. Argentine President Cristina Kirchner's cabinet chief, Anibal Fernandez, has also criticized the new defense plan, saying it is less about Argentine threats than a cheap British nationalism campaign ahead of general elections on May 7.
