Question: 785 Divide and Drool


__X__ was a special Military Intelligence service of the Argentine Army whose structure was set up in the late 1970s, active in the Dirty War and Operation Condor, and disbanded in 2000. Its personnel collected information on and infiltrated Guerrilla groups and Human RIghts organisations, and coordinated killings, kidnappings and other abuses.


The Peruvian government is known to have collaborated with members of the group in the kidnapping, torture and disappearance of a group of Montoneros living in exile in Lima in June 1980.


On 1 January 2010, President Cristina Fernandez of Argentina ordered that documents pertaining to __X__be declassified.


The __X__ reported directly to __Y__, who was, at that time, the President of Argentina.
In April 1982, after __Y__ had been in office for four months and with his popularity low, Argentine forces invaded the lightly defended__Z___, administered by the UK and a long-standing Argentine territorial claim.

 In Argentina the invasion was enormously popular, and the anti-junta demonstrations were replaced by patriotic demonstrations in support of __Y__.

__Y__, and most of his government, thought that the United Kingdom would never respond militarily and even in the worst case scenario the United States would not interfere after the support given by the Junta to the CIA in its exploits in Nicaragua. However, after diplomatic pressure and negotiations led nowhere, the UK government, led by the Margaret Thatcher, decided to re-take __Z__, and deployed naval task forces to do so. Despite the numerical and geographic advantages held by Argentina, the superior training and technology of the British armed forces ensured British victory in the _Z__ within two months


Id X, Y and Z.

Q 777: The Pendulum Swings To & Fro

X

This particular term that I'm looking for comes from "___". The term's origin/root essentially means "Regarding the Head" in Latin.
__X__ has been practiced by most civilizations at some point of time or the other, with the exception of the Kyivian Rus(European tribe that was disintegrated by the Mongol Invasion in the 13th Century).

The current scenario, however, is different.
58 Nations are advocates of __X__ and 96 have decided to do away with the concept altogether.
There is of course this raging debate on __X__ on many fronts.

The European Union has collectively distanced itself away from it, as Article 2 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU prohibits it.

In the UNGA, The People's Republic of China, India, the USA and Indonesia have all voted against the removal of __X___, and they being the 4t most populated countries in the world.

Question 577: The Inspector

An American born Scot. What must that be like? Phew.
He tried many things, but then fate decided that packing meat was his destiny. And he prospered.
His biggest moment came in the war of 1812, the one about all the American-British empire thing..

The chap in question managed to get the commission to supply meat to the army!
Good for him.
On each little box of Meat, there was, as you'd expect, 'U.S' printed on it, as they were govt property.
He insisted U.S was United States. But the soldiers said it stood for something else(Their own little joke, of course)
I want to know what it was that the Soldiers said. The term's damned famous now, so you'd have heard of it.

And ID the man.

PAIn in the...in more ways than one

If Nihar's the boss, and Sebin and Pranav play truant, then the other woman in the office has to be...

Smirk.

I'm sure you'll don't want an image of that.

Also, clarification, at work, I'm most likely to







Pai, on the other hand...also sleeps.

But in a way that's entirely different.

Once again, I'm sure you'll don't want an image of that.

Heh.



PS: if you do want an image of that, what in heavens name is wrong with you?

Question 537: Famous Last Words

The most accurate measure of a man could be how funny,memorable, or just plain stupid his last words are


1. "Pardon me, sir. I did not do it on purpose."


2."I don't have the passion anymore, and so remember, it's better to burn out than to fade away. Peace, Love, Empathy." 


3."I am dying as i have lived, beyond my means"


4."Now, now, my good man, this is no time for making enemies."(when asked by priest to renounce Satan) 


5."Die, my dear? Why that's the last thing I'll do!"


6."Dying is easy, comedy is hard." 


Identify.


And to all you googlers out there, really whats the point?

Question 513: I have here a Pair, yes.


I'm trying to be as vague as possible.

Here is a cartoon,
showing some political leader. One of these two depicted in the cartoon, __X__, has something common with another statesman,__Y__, who openly criticized the U.S Government, and then later covered up for it by saying that the criticism was from a friend and admirer.

__Y___ had been prominent for nearly a decade. A staunch humanitarian.
During his time, _Y__ received a report against Ruud Lubbers, accusing him of sexual harassment, brought by the woman who felt threatened by the top official.
__Y___ did nothing about it, claiming that there wasn't enough legal evidence to prosecute Lubbers.
Lubbers was later tried and found guilty.
This decreased _Y's influence.

Between X and Y, there is something common.
In fact, the only two to have ever achieved this feat in the history of their office.
Id X and Y.
One of these two is X :)
Id X and Y.


What's common to X and Y?
What connects?

And how's the title?? B)

Or
Id X and the other guy with him in the pic.
