28 years after the Falklands War the real reason for the war is emerging: OIL

Mainstream news reports show that oil companies are flocking into the Falkland Islands 28 years after 1000 Argentinian and British soldiers were killed in war there.

For example:

One of the companies involved is Desire Petroleum PLC. The founder of this company, Colin Phipps, boasted of being in the "war room" with Margaret Thatcher during the Falklands War.

When Colin Phipps died in January 2009 his son, Stephen Phipps, took over as chairman.
