Argentina ready to cut deal with Iran, to forget about the bombings

[dr__dawggy]

Liyba paid a structured compensation package and effectively bought their way out of sanctions with blood money. They then resumed buying arms and selling oil with nations who had previously considered them untouchable. Liyba only formally admitted responsibility for Lockerbie in 2003 - after the terms of the compensation package had been agreed upon.

Before the deal was made, the conversations likely went along the same lines as Argentina's are now. "We will wipe the slate clean, for a price"[/quote]\

The "price" paid was suspension by Libya of its Nuclear Weapons Development program....hardly the same situation.

It was more complicated than that.

On 29 May 2002, Libya offered up to US$2.7 billion to settle claims by the families of the 270 killed in the Lockerbie bombing, representing US$10 million per family. The Libyan offer was that:

• 40% of the money would be released when United Nations sanctions, suspended in 1999, were cancelled;
• another 40% when US trade sanctions were lifted; and
• the final 20% when the US State Department removed Libya from its list of states sponsoring terrorism.

On 15 August 2003, Libya's UN ambassador, Ahmed Own, submitted a letter to the UN Security Council formally accepting "responsibility for the actions of its officials" in relation to the Lockerbie bombing.

Only once the deal was brokered did Libya accept responsibility for the attacks.

People will do anything for money. Argentina is no different from the rest of the world in that respect.

Tell ya what...when Iran agrees to suspend its nuke program and to compensate victims of the BA bombings, get back to us....and I will salute Cristina....until then,if you do not see the difference in the two situations there is no point in continuing this discussion.

I didn't say the situations were identical. I said there were similarities. But likewise - if you are unaware, or unable to see the similarities, there's little point in discussing this.

 

[ghost]

The similarity is that Libia and Argentina and Iran are run by leaders suffering from a bi-polar disorder. And only one of them is medicated so she only does stupid things on alternating days.

Really?!

Buenos Aires Bomber Identified

and George W. Bush's brother, Jeb Bush, has connections to Al Queda?

He was the governor of Florida when the terrorist pilots were trained there, wasn't he?

xibeca's question "And what proof is there that Iran was involved exactly?" still stands unanswered.

The answer is obvious the Iranian government is protecting these people. A lot of evidence has been gathered over the years pointing at Iran. Hard to bring them to justice or resolve fully when they can't be extradited and tried in a court of law.

The evidence is clear that this was a false flag attack and if you look on the internet there is strong evidence who were the real culprits and it was certainly not Iran

let's see...Zionist and US imperialists conspired to blow up the Israeli Embassy and the AMIA (not to mention 9.11 and alleged terrorist bombings in Spain) as part of a plot to gain world wide control by blaming poor Muslim countries such as Iran....Does your hatred of Jews and Americans run so deep that you actually believe this drivel?

Probably not hatred, rather ignorance and naivite, coupled with lack of a intellectual/moral backbone strong enough to cut through the admittedly pervasive BS around here. And this is not a K thing, anti-Israel rhetoric is all over Clarin as well.
