Venezuelian President Hugo Chavez has urged soldiers to prepare for a guerrilla-style war against the United States. He said the US government is using psychological and economic warfare as part of an unconventional campaign aimed at derailing his government. US officials reject claims that Washington is considering a military attack. But the US government has expressed concern over what it perceives as a significant arms built-up here, irishexaminer.com reports. Under Chavez, Venezuela has recently purchased some $3 billion worth of arms from Russia, including 53 military helicopters, 100.000 Kalashnikov rifles, 24 SU-30 Sukhoi fighter jets...

I hear "pushin' up daisies" can be very relaxing.

“..Hugo Chavez has urged soldiers to prepare for a guerrilla-style war against the United States.”
Will they have free access across the southern border?

Chavez is destroying Venezuela all on his own - he doesn’t need any help from us.

he doesnt need any help from us.
But he does need a ‘scapegoat’ for the disaster he’s creating.
I wish we would tell that SOB to keep that ‘tar’ he calls oil.
To: Fennie
He said the US government is using psychological and economic warfare as part of an unconventional campaign aimed at derailing his government.A direct bombing and naval bombardment would suit me just fine. I like somewhat more convential campaigns.
"psychological" and "economic" warfare are too slow and too psychologically and economacally draining....drives me nuts.
Kill Chavez today...

Venezuela has recently purchased some $3 billion worth of arms from Russia, including 53 military helicopters, 100.000 Kalashnikov rifles, 24 SU-30 Sukhoi fighter jets... Jets and helicopters for a guerrilla-style war? Sounds like more he is preparing to invade his neighbors...

Absentee president. Too busy loving up to the Mexicans.

Nonsense.
Chavez deserves to be publicly ignored.
To: Fennie
So is primo Hugo going to be giving out free Kalashnikov to disaffected conservatives?
The title sort of implies...

Bush is too busy erasing our border for LaRasa.

Someone already posted a similar comment.
However, the President does the right thing by publicly ignoring Chavez.

"Hugo Chavez, apprearing before reporters, said the US government is using psychological and economic warfare as part of an unconventional campaign aimed at derailing his government."

See, that’s the whole deal.
Communist dictators run their countries straight into the shtr and use America as the scapegoat for causing all their problems - similar to how the Islamists and Palestinians blame their plight on the Israelis.
And, to top it all off, the anti-American American Left consistently sides with them.

Well, it’s time to start some serious trouble for russia.
Let’s arm Mongolia, Poland and the Stan countries all on russias border.
Let’s finance some of the breakaway groups within russia.
Let’s stop helping the russians in any way.
Kick them out of a few of the civilized worlds organizations.

Bush hasn’t taken any covert action to contain the Chavez venom so I’m not sure why you suggest that he has.
The public is his best weapon, but he can’t speak so there goes that idea.
I know he went there on his good will trip to quell some anti-US sentiment that Chavez is spreading, but it’s not enough.
I can’t wait for 08. We need a solid speaker, thinker and no pushover. Someone like Fred.

Absentee president. Too busy loving up to the Mexicans.And what would you have Bush do? Attack Venezuela? Under what premise? A third world country buys some assault rifles and a couple of squadrons of fighters? How is this even a bother to us?

He might muster up the stones that Conoco-Phillips did yesterday. We continue to do business with this thief. At least Conoco calls a spade a spade.

True. But this guy is wacked.

The Chekist Putin is unrepentant of the crimes he committed as a loyal servant of the EVIL EMPIRE and he is proud of his service in the bloodthirsty KGB. He is helping his communist comrades like Chavez encircle the USA. We should respond by supporting Putin's nationalist enemies in Ukraine and the Baltics.
