Rogelio Dice Que No Dijo Lo Que Dijo

Hace Aguas La Posición Argentina Sobre Malvinas.

UPDATE : (transcribo para los que no tienen facebook) :

I recently gave a press conference in Santiago, Chile, where I answered questions for over an hour. As I speak no Spanish my answers were translated by an interpreter. I was asked about the Malvinas/Falklands and gave a comprehensive answer. A journalist from Argentina misunderstood me and wrote a news piece in an Argentine paper quoting me as stating categorically that the islands belong to Argentina. I said nothing of the kind. My position is as follows:

The history of the Islands is the story of two opposing colonial monarchies England and Spain batting the territory back and forth back in the day when Empire building was de rigueur. So the currently conflicting positions between Gt Britain and Argentina are the doleful inheritance of the, now largely discredited, imperial policies of 16th century European monarchs. The islands themselves existed uninhabited for millions of years before the 16th century and will probably survive the extinction of the human race for millions more. The tragedy of 1982, when 900 young lives were lost was that it was caused by the folly of two political leaders, Galtieri and Thatcher, who were both losing their grip on the reins of power and used the conflict as a distraction. It was described at the time by a Chilean commentator as being like, “Two bald men fighting over a comb”.

Now thirty years later the sound of sabres rattling is rising again. I am not a politician or a diplomat, and have no ready solution, but I am convinced it’s time to sue for peace and seek a compromise, not push for victory. At the end of the day what really matters is that not one more drop of blood is shed on the altar of the imperial aspirations of long dead kings.

Lo de los calvos peleando por un peine yo lo había escuchado atribuido a Borges.

    Pero aunque lo hubiera dicho, a quién le importa lo que piense? como si en England le fueran a dar bola.

  2. Ahora lo único que falta es que lo de la encuesta también sea un malentendido. Pero viejo, no se puede así.

  3. A mi me encanta como les toman el pelo a los boludos que van a los recitales donde el musico se cuelga la camiseta de la seleccion gritando "Aryentina uuuuuuuu !!!!!" y la gilada se emociona pensando que son los unicos.

  4. Seguro que leyó mi post en EOC, vió que estaba quedando como un boludo y ahora busca retractarse.

  5. En el vídeo dice claramente: "I think they should be argentine".

    Se habrá dado cuenta que después de este viaje tiene que volver a vivir al Reino Unido.

  6. Louis, si te referís a la encuesta del diario, se podía toda las veces que quieras. Sin necesidad de borrar cookies o cambiar IP. No muy confiable el resultado.

  7. Está clarísimo que recibió un sopapo y le dijeron en el más clipped british accent "Cerrá el culou!"
