George W. Ni Bush had expressed as to Barack Obama just how tight between Argentina and Washington. Unlike Brazil, a country with which the U.S. administration knows what things and how things coincide dissent, the attitude of Argentina is always a mystery.
Nothing more expressive of the enigma that the recent scandal was centered on the loading of a U.S. military plane, which arrived in Buenos Aires in the framework of a bilateral cooperation agreement with the Federal Police.
things, in truth, there came good. WikiLeaks Under cables, published by La Nacion, Cristina Kirchner moved to practice to grow rapidly Obamamania says a policy of opposition to the management American leader.
Some seek the reasons for such change in the resentment that led to the president of Argentina distances that Obama himself began his government. The White House chief graduated with honors from Washington to the presidents of Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Chile and Peru, but never found a hole in his schedule to personally meet the president of Argentina.
Washington spokesmen were never clear about the reasons for this coldness was merely pointing to "scheduling problems" or highlighted, when a little more advanced, features "unpredictable" the Kirchner government.
That was still far away from Obama more inexplicable after the last economic crisis, he deposited the world driving conflict in the G-20. La Argentina, together with Brazil and Mexico, one of the three Latin American countries that make up the exclusive club of international politics.
However, Cristina Kirchner Obama received only a fleeting encounter, 10 minutes, in the framework of a summit with other leaders in which they discussed nuclear safety. Almost nothing. Storms
These complaints became Argentine storm of resentment when he learned that Obama fly over Argentine territory without stepping on his Latin American tour in recent days. It's really strange for the foreign policy of Washington that a U.S. president traveling from Brazil to Chile without spending even a minute for Argentina.
The U.S. government hid behind the excuse that Argentina is in the midst of an electoral process and that their president does not want to participate in it. Seven months away Argentine presidential elections. The argument was, strictly speaking, inconsistent.
However, the subsequent course of events seemed to agree with U.S. analysts who advised the president not to land in Buenos Aires. What was seen then here was rather a government determined to campaign against states Together.
"Since we were not able to campaign with Obama, we will do against Obama, are candid recently, not without a dose of cynicism, a cristina immaculate. That is now a very visible axis of the presidential campaign of the ruling.
The scandal plane slammed into the center of that strategy. Some weapons, whose numbers did not agree with the terms of the previous inventory, served to confiscate part of the aircraft. Argentina justice determined that "no crime" by the Americans, but the Argentine government still retains a portion of the cargo of the plane.
black market
kirchneristas Officials indicated that they are finding out now if there was no intention of United States government to sell this material on the black market weapons Argentine. The offense reached its peak sing. The conflict is serious, as Obama called it, because the State Department continues to claim that material, including some secret communication key U.S. Defense Department.
worse, Héctor Timerman chancellor himself (he was the ambassador to Washington until recently) was personally involved in the confiscation of weapons and sensitive military material bags with American.
The Argentine government has not solved anything yet about that conflict, despite the insistence Obama officials. Washington spokesmen said they felt they had fallen into "a trap Argentina" and compared it with what happened to Bush in Mar del Plata in 2005, American summit. Everything seemed fine in the preparations until the Americans set foot on Argentine soil, then the government of Kirchner became belligerent toward Washington.
previous distances lengthened further when, in recent days, Foreign Minister explained the unique position Timerman Argentina is known about the action of allied Western troops to stop the slaughter of Muammar Khadafy on the rebels to his despotic regime.
"No to exhaust diplomatic means, "said the Argentine foreign minister in a clear challenge to the decision by major Western countries.
Cristina Kirchner's government has always been refractory to criticize the regime Khadafy since it began the revolution in several Arab countries . Khadafy and Peronism are united by ties immemorial.
drew attention, however, this declaration of Timerman. How many civilian deaths were necessary to "exhaust diplomatic means? How much devastation was perpetrating one of the most picturesque dictators , and bloody well, the world? What follow arguing that human rights are a cornerstone of Argentina's foreign policy when they forgot about the rights of Libyans defenseless?
The condition "unpredictable" the Kirchner government is perhaps the most sincere argument the U.S. government in justifying their remoteness from Argentina. Do you lack reason? An American president would have been nice if he had made only self-referential politics Cristina Kirchner.
Instead, a dictator is a dictator when he plays good part of the melody of Kirchner. These contradictions between the discourse and practice explain, better than anything else, the sentence shorter and clearer Obama devoted to the country Kirchner.
