Falklands/Malvinas: Today could be interesting

News about news to come, as President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner of Argentina has called a press conference for 7pm local time today (that's 5pm EST, six hours from now) to make an announcement of some sort about The Falkland Islands/Las Malvinas. The interesting bit is that she's invited the leaders of the main opposition parties in Argentina to join her at the presser in some sort of show of united front or another.

The other interesting bit is that nobody seems to know what the meat of the presser is going to be about, which is unusual in a country where the government circles leak info to the press like a broken colander. Best guesses so far are an Argentina that will accuse the UK govt of "militarizing" the issue with its sending of a nuclear sub and a top line destroyer to the zone (as well as Prince Billy's 6 week tour of duty). Apart from that, little is known and it's all a box of surprises waiting to be opened. If it turns out to be a damp squib so be it, but if it's enough fun expect an update on this post later.

UPDATE: Old pallypal Tenpercent pipes up with this thought:

"I hope Malvinas announcement is Cristina challenging Dave to a duel, she gets the gun"
