I believe he said Argentina is using it as a distraction from its many (especially economic) problems, and that would fit what my Argentine email friends have to say on the topic. (ETA: On second thought, looks like he's saying the UK is also using it as well.)
And btw, at least going by those 2 (and also from reading comments of an Argentine news site) it's not working, and some of what they said hint that they're not entirely willing to discount revolution, and unlike Americans who never experienced the horror of such political unrest as they have it actually means something when even they wonder if they'd be better off with forcibly removing the current government. Of course the government realizes how unpopular it is and is trying every cheap trick in the book to be accepted (however grudgingly) by their country again, including in making noise over the Falklands.
Not to say the UK doesn't have its own problems. (That said, one of my Argentine email friends wants to immigrate to the UK before it goes wholly to hell.)
