"....The transcripts indicate a secret meeting in Aleppo, Syria, in January 2011 between Argentinian Foreign Minister Héctor Timmerman and his Iranian counterpart at the time, Ali-Akbar Salehi, during which Timmerman suggested that Argentina would no longer be interested in investigating the AMIA attack if Iran were willing to supply the country with inexpensive oil....
...The Aleppo meeting was followed by another in which a team of Argentinian negotiators tried, unsuccessfully, to exchange the immunity of the Iranians involved in the attack for much-needed oil....
....Argentina has a severe, ongoing energy deficit that directly impacts the country’s trade and economy," Leah Soibel, the executive director of the Jerusalem-based non-profit group Fuente Latina, told FNL. "The deal in question would have been mutually beneficial. Argentina desperately needed to increase its oil imports. Iran wanted Nisman’s investigation and Interpol warrants against Iranian leaders accused of involvement in the AMIA attack to come to an end....
...Nisman’s investigation also revealed that Argentina offered to trade grains and even weapons with Iran in exchange for oil – a move reminiscent to the one in which Venezuela, under the late Hugo Chávez, sent oil to the Dominican Republic in exchange for black beans....
...While Nisman made clear that no deal for oil with Iran ever reached fruition – a move that could have triggered hefty U.S. sanctions – but business between the two countries ramped up with reports indicating that the annual trade volume between the two countries, while insignificant in previous decades, now stands at more than $1 billion a year. ...
...Some observers believe that Nisman was killed, despite the damning information released in his report, because he had even more explosive information that could force Argentina to prosecute the Iranian agents involved in the AMIA bombing ... and to derail the lucrative trade between the two countries..."
It's Always About The Money.
People like Timmerman and his bosses give prostitutes a bad name.

All these izlamic murdering terrorists groups are following the old Soviet Union line. Moving into the Latin countries. Throwing money around. Like the Soviets gave weapons, military equipment to buy their way into the country. Then they started setting up shop so they could infiltrate all these countries. The countries would be basically overrun by Soviets and become so dependent on the stuff the Reds gave them that they could never afford to tell them to leave. Just look at what has become of Cuba. They are desperate now days. Castro should just open the Island up and allow the hotels, vacation groups come back in. He could rake in huge bucks. And, if he would allow the Cuban families to come and go, the ones here go back and visit and those there come here (Obama would take more people of course to add to the payroll here).
The single biggest thing blocking Cuba’s entrance into prosperity and happiness is it’s unwillingness to pay for the property it nationalized back when. Each of these countries has similar circumstances and they can’t overcome the corruption that keeps them in the hole. Argentina used to have a healthy beef cattle bidness but they figgered out how to pissitaway. Trying to trade kriminals for oil is prety much the height of corruption and it makes one wonder how they can ever help themselves when they are so far gone. It seems like a major house cleaning is overdue thereabouts.
The whole idea is to neutralize the USA...ultimate goal....and Obama’s made so many angry that it puts us in a very bad place...... Doesn’t matter who is doing it...the push is all the same to weaken our nation and Obam’s being quite successful doing that thus far...
World is bent toward evil today and those forces are on the move big time....Obama’s helping.
