Because of these:

And because they are gathering support in Latin America and other areas so that they can take the dispute back to to the UN General Council. If they get enough support they hope we will accept a UN decision to give it all to them. Without bloodshed, without loss of life, without any major cost to them.

If you read the article carefully you will see we are losing support and they are gaining it.

In effect we are drilling down there exploration wells and then capping and sealing them, Its not currently as economically viable for us to run the gas and oil out as a full industry. The Argies play the waiting game and in thier eyes the UN gives them the islands back, they get the islands the oil and gas and the ready to be tapped wells. easy innit, a little bit of rational thought instead of emotive postings eh?
