A little bit over a week ago I wrote about the big oil discovery in the Falkland Islands and how Argentina is developing a deep and abiding love for the place. Yesterday President Kirchner said her country's claim to the islands is 'inalienable.' You know South American politicians mean business when they start swiping our material. Here's an AFP story all about her claim without ever once mentioning why the sudden interest.
Here's why you should care. If Argentina and England get into it again over who controls the Falklands this would actually be a War For Oil. President Kirchner is a left-wing lawyer. She is a former First Lady who served as a senator before she became president. She's been compared to Eva Peron and she's cool with that. Sound at all familiar? If you wanted to know how Hillary Rodham Clinton would conduct a war there is a ready-made example in Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. I'm guessing things will get nasty in a hurry. Women fully comprehend the scorched-earth policy.
About Me
- A.G. Clifton
- Miss Clifton was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus rolling down Highway 21. The only child of itinerant grifters, she supplemented her family's meager income through faking food poisoning and stepping in front of cars. Later in life she discovered a talent for Faith healing. She toured the continent healing people named Faith. Along the way she met and married her son's father, but sadly, the two parted ways after she discovered what he actually meant by "animal husbandry." Miss Clifton lives in an abandoned railroad shed on the outskirts of town where she pursues her life's work of constructing the world's largest ball of aluminum foil. Donations cheerfully accepted.
