More fence-mending in Argentina by hil and company [View All]

[rabs]

Argentine Foreign Minister Héctor Timermam with William Burns, hillary's undersecretary for political affairs.

Burns showed up in Buenos Aires yesterday, carrying a "handwritten" letter from hillary to Cristina. According to foreign ministry sources, hillary told Cristina that she (hillary) "appreciated" that Cristina had avoided publicly "commenting" over hillary's asking about Cristina's mental status (wikileaks cable revealed last week by El Pais of Madrid).

Burns also said to Timmerman that the U.S. government, "as it is doing with other foreign government," wanted to apologize and appreciated that the Argentina government had not considered the leaking of the cables as important.

Now for the BAD news, Burns told Timmerman that hillary was planning to become "much more involved in the Latin American region."

-------------------------


The fact that Burns, the No. 2 official in the State Department, traveled all the way to Buenos Aires to personally deliver a letter written by hillary's dainty fingers indicates that the Argentine government (and Cristina) must have been really pissed off. That despite the 20-minute phone call hillary made to Cristina last week.

What jumps out is that hillary has not apologized for the insulting CONTENTS of the exchange between her and the U.S. Embassy in Baires regarding Cristina.

hillary and now Burns only have apologized for the LEAKING of the cables by Wikileaks.
