'WAR HAS BEGUN,' SAYS VENEZUELA
NY Post ^ | 3-5-08 | TOBY MUSE

Posted on 03/05/2008 3:10:27 PM PST by dynachrome

Venezuela's justice minister declared that war "has already begun."

Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa called his Colombian counterpart, Alvaro Uribe, a "baldfaced liar."

Uribe demanded the International Criminal Court try Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez for genocide.

President Bush accused Chavez of "provocative maneuvers."

Colombia said documents found at the base showed rebels wanted to make a radioactive dirty bomb.

But the documents it shared with reporters didn't support the allegation, indicating instead that the rebels were trying to buy uranium to resell at a profit.

Uribe said Chavez should be prosecuted for allegedly financing the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.

Uribe cited documents in a laptop seized in Reyes' jungle camp that he said showed Venezuela made a $300 million payment to the rebels.

Both Venezuela and Ecuador dismissed all the allegations as lies.

Sure would be nice to see Sluggo get his butt stomped. Unfortunately it would cost the lives of Venezuelan soldiers who are stuck with the idiot for the time being.

“But the documents it shared with reporters didn’t support the allegation, indicating instead that the rebels were trying to buy uranium to resell at a profit.”

To whom?

Maybe someone can take care of Hugo for us. Pat Robertson had it right.

(reprise) DFU SONG: White Rabbit (Pat Robertson had the solution for Hugo Chavez)
DFU SONGS ^ | 9-2006 | Lyrics, Doug from Upland

Writing the history of our time in song

MIDI - WHITE RABBIT

(a little tricky to know when to start - it's at about 33 seconds)

He's a commie tyrant...and good buddy of Fidel
I would be voting for Cruise missiles...to be sending him to hell
Go ask Pat if...that policy will sell

And if you go... whacking Hugo...there is a price you'll have to pay
Criticism from the lefties...and they will not go away
Go ask Pat if...he has some more to say

We have heard from the Reverend...he said send in our CIA
And if they do what they are trained to...he won't breathe after today
Ask Pat if...those guys should make the play

We know how to tweak the lefties...we will go and steal their oil
And when they see what we are doing...it will make all their blood boil

Ask Pat if...Hugo Chavez should be dead...should be dead
Should be dead...should be dead

My money's on Colombia. They can take down Venezuela and Ecuador with their hands tied behind their back.

(Cue ending scene from "Scarface")

You know it would be so nice to see a conventional ICBM loaded with tungsten kinetic penetrator rods take out his palace. It’d be like a bolt out of the blue for Vennie commies.

Venezuela will have to chock that up to the price of “roach control.” As Jefferson said, “The tree of liberty must be fed with the blood of tyrants and patriots. That is its natural manure.

If the balloon does go up, the Democrats are going to get a lesson in the projection of power. The US will not need its ground forces to assure a Columbian victory. A carrier task group or two, an air force air division, and a bunch of drones will be enough to stop the Venezuelan military butt-cold, with the Columbian Army providing mop-up. If we get *really* lucky Cuba will jump in on this on the side of Horrible Hugo. Then we get two for the price of one.

Oh, well nevermind then. Carry on if you're just trying to make a profit.

Sheesh...

Isn’t this a bumpersticker: What if they gave a war and no one showed up?

The Colombian raid on FARC was on the weekend. Today is Wednesday. It takes more than three days to prepare an invasion. So, what does War mean in this case? No air raids have occurred. No cross border raids. No naval assault.

No one knows, but the context of the messages does indicate they were trying to make profit out of this (not use it themselves). Best bet is an Islamist terror group.
