"Hawks in Washington have already called for Venezuela to be added to the list of nations that sponsor terrorism, on which Mr Chavez's close allies Cuba and Iran lurk. However this is unlikely to happen, at least in the short term, as the US desperately needs Venezuela's oil.

The US gets 14% of it's oil from Chavez...this represents 80% of Chavez's oil exports. Who needs who the most?

Sure he did. Pull the other leg.

The comments were a complete change of tack for Mr Chavez, who earlier this year asked the European Union to take the Farc off its list of terrorist organisations and recognise it as a legitimate guerrilla army.

As much of a whack job as Chavez is, he is right about this. The main reason they were designated as a terrorist organization was so the US could get around some legal hurdles related to Plan Columbia. As a guerilla organization, we were more limited in our ability to interfere with their internal politics. Once they were designated as terrorists, all the doors swung open.

Columbia gets more dirt on the scumbag, he robs Exxon and other oil companies, robs other businesses, foreign investment plummets,and inflation runs at 30 percent. The wealthy move their money out and invest in other countries. Is fatso starting to see the writing on the wall? Now he admits he supported farc. Terrorists who kidnap woman and the innocent. We'll see what happens, but if he backs away from farc they'll be short of cash and weapons. I like how he said to give up in return for nothing.

Chavez is FARC. They bought him young and cheap, and when he took power in Venezuela, effectively they captured the country through him.

Until some other colonel finds the nerve to do something about it, Venezuela itself is FARC.

If he is smart, he’ll pull FARC back to their bases in Venezeuela until after the election. If McCain wins, absorb them into one or another of his various militias. If Obama wins, the war against Colombia continues unabated, with the certainty that victory is at hand.
