    Bravo for the Islanders.

    The Argentines feel that they have the God given right to occupy the Falklands and it is up to them to civilize the natives and they have the balls to complain that GB is the one acting like a colonialist power?

    I hope no one lay awake at night wondering how the vote would go. I wonder now if the two gutted militaries will go at it again?

    The only thing the Argies have are there respected special forces. The UK has some Naval assets there with a RAF Mt.Pleasent and a nice sized Garrison. The Argies on the other hand really don't have the assets to lead a invasion and it would be suicide for them. the Argie's other problem is Brazil. Brazil is the military power house in S.america and the lead nation on freedom and leadership. Piss in there Wheaties and beer and look out. So in closing No the Argie's are just crying like a spoiled brat wanting sugar.

    Agreed. Have him pay Cristina an early morning visit and give her a lovely Sicilian necktie. :wink:
