[link to www.javno.com] Argentine Leader Seeks To Deepen Ties With Russia Fernandez`s visit to Moscow comes weeks after Russian President Dmitry Medvedev toured Latin American countries. Argentine President Cristina Fernandez called for a closer partnership with Russia at Kremlin talks on Wednesday, the latest Latin American leader seeking to deepen ties with Moscow. Fernandez's visit to Moscow comes weeks after Russian President Dmitry Medvedev toured Latin American countries including Brazil, Peru and Venezuela. "We must deepen our political dialogue, our cooperation on the international arena because above all Russia and Argentina are convinced ... of the need to build a world based on multipolar principals," Fernandez told Medvedev. After talks, Medvedev and Fernandez signed a joint declaration which stated "intentions to build the relations of a strategic partnership", according to a copy distributed by the Kremlin. |
nc gal (OP) User ID: 689251 Puerto Rico 06/24/2009 12:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | the AP showing some skepticism: Quoting: Is45Sanford told The State he was alone on the trip to Argentina. He declined to give any additional details about what he did other than to say he drove along the coastline. Trying to make such a drive could frustrate a weekend visitor to Argentina. In Buenos Aires, the Avenida Costanera is the only coastal road, and it's less than two miles long. Reaching coastal resorts to the south requires a drive of nearly four hours on an inland highway with views of endless cattle ranches. To the north is a river delta of islands reached only by boat. TPM Reader GK concurs: Know that the "coastline" in BA is completely featureless and incredibly boring -- it's on a slow-moving, broad river. When residents of BA "go to the beach" they drive many hours away to Mar del Plata, which is on the Atlantic coast (or they hop on a boat to Montevideo, Uruguay.) But right now it's in the low 50's during the day and the mid 30's at night on the coast. [link to www.talkingpointsmemo.com] And he lives in SC..... lots of coastline to be driven on right here!!! Helllooooooooo! This story has become even more incredible now that he's back. Someone on the other topic said MSNBC will be airing his news conference... is it 2pm ET ?? ~ FOX is also holding LIVE coverage of his news conference at 2:00.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 653234 United States 06/24/2009 12:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to en.wikipedia.org] The Ironclad Oath was a key factor in the removing of ex-Confederates from the political arena during the Reconstruction of the United States in the 1860s. It required every white man to swear he had never borne arms against the Union or supported the Confederacy — that is, he had "never voluntarily borne arms against the United States," had "voluntarily" given "no aid, countenance, counsel or encouragement" to persons in rebellion and had exercised or attempted to exercise the functions of no office under the Confederacy. Its unpopularity among ex-Confederates led them to nickname the oath "The Damnesty Oath." Congress originally devised the oath in July 1862 for all federal employees, lawyers and federal elected officials. It was applied to Southern voters in the Wade-Davis Bill of 1864, which President Abraham Lincoln pocket vetoed. President Andrew Johnson also opposed it. Both Johnson and Lincoln wanted Southerners instead to swear to an oath that in the future they would support the Union. Lincoln's amnesty oath was integral to his ten percent plan, for reconstruction. |

They keep an eye on him for them. Sanford could have done ANY of the things listed so far without disappearing (have a fling, go hiking, take a vacation in South America, etc.). Instead, whatever he had to do he wanted to do w/out the knowledge of those in power. TPTB freaked out and alerted the MSM. Sanford pulled the wool over their eyes. He had to have a reason and I'd love to know what it was. Remember his wife initially said he went away to 'write'. I think this situation warrants watching...as does the future because *if* he is a rogue Bilderberger then there will be threats against those he loves, made up scandals to discredit him, and a push to get him out of office. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 630140well, if you are governor of the state, yes, they do. secondly, it isn't so much a tired Gov taking tom off after a tough legislative session, it is the lies, deliberate deceit, and holes in his story that make a person wonder. If he wanted time off, just say so, designate the Lt. Gov in charge, and go. But to sneak off to Argentina after lying and double lying and 'sneak' is the right word here. That is not cool, nor is it safe: he left the state, and the country, without designating a chain of command No, no one has the right. Lt. Governor is in command when he is gone. He is not. He also has a duty cell phone to talk policy. It seems that unless the Gov states that he is not in charge, he is the one in charge. At no time did the Lt. Gov assume the role of executive. The state's law makers are already looking into this. It doesn't matter who I m it's who U R so ChoOse |

It seems maybe he is questioning the action of the government and their response in this crisis. Could he have possibly some other reasons to not trust the fed's and went to Argentina to meet a certain ground zero fema reporter that has information pertaining to the coverup on 911. DId he possibly come back with the video tapes of said reporter and is he getting ready to blow the lid off this place? Could be........ Quoting: Connect the dots 710648WOW!! I just read about that guy and the tapes yesterday. This is all very, very bizarre.
