Christina "Evita" Kirchner Stokes Falklands Again For Re-Election Distraction
2011-04-04
HT to HotAir. Wonder whether to place this in WOT Politix or Seedy Pols or both. She's a dirtbag populist who can't make the economy work, so it's back to war-fever for re-election. Hillary's twin?
Seedy Politicians. This is a local issue, unconnected to either the world caliphate jihad or the Mexican drug gangs' war.
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner made the announcement as she said that "the Malvinas are Argentine for ever" and the government "will never yield in our claim".

President Kirchner was speaking at an event to mark the 29th anniversary of the invasion of the Falklands at the weekend. The country's presidential election is due in October and the decrees will be seen as evidence that President Kirchner will use patriotic sentiment over the Falklands to help to win votes.

Speaking at an event in Rio Gallegos, Santa Cruz province, she said: "I know we are going to recover what belongs to us."
meaning an ass-kicking and bruised Argie pride, to be nursed and stoked for the next politician that needs to distract the rubes
