He was a real drunk man. He used to say that sort of stupid stuff. You all should figure it out, a poor argentinean sob trying to do demagogy when his own government was about to fall down. I, as many others in Argentina, think he's the real guilty for so much lives lost at that stupid war. Sure there many more things to talk about but that's another story.
