| Argentina Holds Confiscated USAF Cargo | |
| 2011-02-16 | |
Argentina's relations with the U.S. took a sharp turn for the worse Monday as the country continued to hold military equipment it confiscated last week from a U.S. Air Force C-17 transport plane sent as part of a training course for local police. Argentine foreign minister Hector Timerman accused the U.S. of using the plane to smuggle undeclared firearms, surveillance equipment and "various doses of morphine" into the country for ulterior motives.

| #9 it appears that US interests are not welcome. Cut off trade and aid and withdraw diplomats. Perhaps even ban travel. Let Dickhead explain to his countrymen what his macho move was all about |

| #7 Not uncommon WM to rank them all for customs so they dont get treated like their own enlisted. |

| #6 Get the troops back, then hit the plane with a hellfire and let the Argentines know that all aid is cut off. They do this again, we'll send in a Ranger battalion to seize the airport. |

| #5 Only a matter of time. Once Pakistan found they could get away with breach of Diplomatic immunity with impunity, the floodgates opened. Expect this sort of behaviour to be a regular occurrence whilst Bambi is in office. |

| #4 Tell them to piss off and find other Hostage Rescue trainers, possibly Chavez and his thugs. Close the mission, bring everybody out on the C-17, bag and baggage. Don't go back, and don't call. Stronger message to follow. |

| #3 Sounds like a standardish tactical training loadout. The medic, likely an 18D (God bless them) would of course have had critical care meds like morphine syringes. The Arg guy doing this is, kindly put, an attention whore and moron with an agenda. The Argentine government needs to get off its ass and leash this fool, as he is clearly out of control. One thing that sounded off-key was the composition of the team. All officers excepting the medic? Would not be a very skilled group. SF's heart soul and guts is their NCO core, which is astoundingly good. The officers are in group to fill out the paperwork. I suspect the article was wrong in this regard, but maybe not. |

| #2 "undeclared firearms, surveillance equipment and "various doses of morphine" " Elementary dear Watson, Any military cargo lift may have such crazy first world devices; if they are from the first world. |
