    FM Hector Timerman (pictured below) is the object of Israel's scrutiny and outrage after a leaked report that he proposed  to stop investigating two bombings that killed Jews in the 1990's...to improve trade with Iran.
    The newspaper Perfil quotes a leaked Iranian diplomatic cable that reportedly said: "Argentina is no longer interested in solving those two attacks, but in exchange prefers improving its economic relations with Iran".
Timerman allegedly made the offer in January...through Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

    Three notable Argentine ambassadorial vacancies exist... in Beijing, Moscow and London.
    There has been no Moscow ambassador since October 30.
   And last January, Buenos Aires' man in Beijing was removed after misunderstandings with the Chinese and  cool trade relations.
     Plus, there will also be no ambassador in London until December 2012 to protest the second round of oil exploration in the Falkland Islands’ waters. The last ambassador there, Federico Mirré, left his post in 2008.
     Buenos Aires is blaming the unfilled posts on Minister of Foreign Affairs Hector Timerman,
  (pictured above) aka Twitterman for his frequent tweets.
    President Cristina's inner circle also suspects Timerman  may want to be president.
    He recently made several impolitic statements about President Kirchner's re-election.

ARGENTINA: Foreign Minister Taiana Abruptly Resigns.

MERCOPRESS/     In a surprise move, Foreign Affairs Minister Jorge Taiana, 60, resigned citing a “lack of support and differences” in the implementation of foreign policy. Analysts speculate that several issues have marked Taiana’s differences with the Kirchners, especially the close relation with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez. Taiana had been foreign minister since 2005. He was replaced by ambassador to the U.S. Héctor Timerman.     (Foto of Jorge Taiana)
