Duck Soup anyone?

As if to reinforce my previous post about the ridiculous nature of the hyperbole over the Falklands, on the day the Argentinean government renames their top football division Cruiser General Belgrano (how odd to commemorate a military loss and one that induced the rest of the Argentinean fleet to stay in port, probably saving many more lives), Fidel Castro, in support of Cristina Kirchner, ridicules the Royal Navy for only sending one small ship because they no longer have any aircraft carriers to dispatch. Therefore, he thinks that if Britain had serious military clout, like 'the Yankees', they should have sent an aircraft carrier. But Kirchner is calling the hot-button issue in her latest political manoeuvring, 'a militarisation' of the region. Not according to Castro, with his one small ship claim. His attempt to poke fun thus backfires on him and his ostensible ally Kirchner. Well, I suppose the ex-revolutionary has to occupy himself somehow in his retirement.
