Quite frankly, I don't see why the interest in maintaining a colony that is not economically viable on its own... See my post above. There's oil in them thar seas... But this was not known back in the 1980, yes? JT

"Alan Erskine" skrev i en meddelelse ... "alf blume" wrote in message k... "Paul Elliot" skrev i en meddelelse t... Never underestimate Argentine pride. I lived in BA in 1971. I have seen it. I think that british intelligence services are well aware of this . . . Just like they were in 1982? Or in 2003 (Iraq)? You think they didn't know? - they did in both cases - both wars were politically motivated and intelligence ignored. 1) Thacher was made perfectly aware of the Argentinian preparations - but chose a war to divert attention from internal problems - nothing unites a nation better than a quick little war! 2) Same situation - Blair knew that the presence of WMD were at best dubious - the war was politically motivated: "Britain is still a world power - look we can fight on equal terms with the US!!!"
