I just read about it on the BBC Website:
Argentina has renewed its claim over the Falkland Islands on the 25th anniversary of invading them - and losing a subsequent war with Britain."The Malvinas are Argentine, they always were, they always will be," said Argentine Vice-President Daniel Scioli, using the Spanish name for the islands.
Mr Scioli was speaking in the southern city of Ushuaia - one of a series of events marking the start of the war.
He urged the UK to resume talks on the sovereignty of the islands.
I was sitting in my truck this afternoon, and heard a story about this being the 25th Anniversary of The Falklands War on XM124 in Franklin. I think it was Winston Churchill III on Sean Hannity, and it was brought up in the discussion that the Royal Navy had been seriously down-sized since Tony Blair took office.
The first thought that came into my head was, "Oh No, I hope the Argetines don't decide to bite off a chunk right about now." The Argentinians would probably lose again, but who knows, they might just get lucky.
