I say we should accept his offer of oil at a reduced price- but instead of using it, turn around and resell it at higher prices

[Cicero]

A State Department spokesman on Friday said Chavez's reform plans have caused "some concern," describing the proposal allowing presidents to rule by decree as "a bit odd."

A day late and a dollar short. Country by country, much of Latin America is going to the revolutionary dogs, and the State Department has just noticed it?

This wave of marxist revolutionary populism should have been stopped a couple of years ago, by American intervention. Now many other countries have sat up and taken notice that there were no consequences, and they want their revolutions too.

The whole hemisphere is going to be the worse for this, at a very dangerous time. Massive threats from Islam, long range threats from China, Europe going down the tubes. We don't need South America going down the tubes too.

The days of America going it alone are over, especially if we can't even control our borders. Not to speak of the fact that all the oil is passing into hostile hands.

So this marxist is a racist too.

"*sniff* Does this include me, Hugo?"

"No, Jimmy! You're my favorite pet Gringo!"

Enabling law... another dictator had one passed to end his dependence on the elected legislature. We all know where Chavez's socialist revolution is heading - towards a totalitarian despotism.

Go to Hell yourself, Hugo, and take your leftist American friends with you.

Venezuela will blow before the decade is over.

Chavez might be strung up before then.

With any luck, he'll be assassinated by his own people before long. It seems that country has to go through that cycle every century or so. Maybe we can hurry that along a little by causing oil prices to drop- to say something in the neighborhood of $20-$25 a barrel. Chavez is a fool to think he can run a country and keep his people mesmerized in his delusional dream on revenues from a single limited resource.

Castro-wanna-be, a two-bit banana republic blow-hard. This guy'll get overthrown in a couple years, just like every other megalomaniac before him. It's the Latin American way!

Maybe use it to fill our reserves to capaity, thats about all we can do with it. If chavez causes a glut he cuts his own throat by causing oil prices to fall.

The reality of Chevez's oil is almost all of it is processed here in the USA. The only refineries capable of processing that thick, low grade tar are on US soil, Or up in Alberta, where they are already running at full capacity. Chavez is screwed should those refineries shut down for an extended period of time for "enviro-mental green house gas upgrading".

We have lots of options available to force Chavez's hand.

Gringo is a derogatory term.

[CottShop]

yeah and I thinkj opec has glutted the market to reduce what mahmoud and chavez can profit from creating economic hardships. Chavez and ilk certainly are cutting their own throats- but Chavez denies he will be hurtiung and claims he has enougfh other countries willing to buy from him- we'll see though how long he can hold out.

We should actually be accepting his cheap oil and putting it both into reserve, and in a 'semi-reserve' as well, something with less restrictions that can be quickly tapped if prices go nuts again.

[Redleg Duke]

If you call that a girl.

"Chavez denies he will be hurtiung and claims he has enougfh other countries willing to buy from him- we'll see though how long he can hold out."

Chavez and leftist media that helps him toot his horn fail to tell their faithful leftist readers that all those other countries Chavez claims will line up and buy his oil haven't any refineries capable of refining his low grade tar. It wouldn't be worth the cost of shipping it to China.

Maybe the whitehouse is just waiting for Chavez to put his money where his mouth is. So far it's just all hot air. We'll just have to wait and see where oil prices go I suppose. Something has to happen fairly soon.

Venezuela's legislature this week is expected to fully approve the Enabling Law that would give Chavez 18 months to decree legislation.

I remember reading about an "Enabling Act" passed by the German Reichstag in 1934 for a similar reason. The more things change ...
