Why is the oil located where the a-holes rule?
Obviously oil causes a-holes. Not as facicous as it might appear. Countries with a single or a very few, but valuable natural resource often get "spoiled" by the revenue generated by that resource, and never really develope their economies properly. Thus they are full of the very rich, and the very poor, which in turn fuels demagogery, like that of Chavez.
Add in the Religious fanatisim of the Whabbie movement and it's Shiite equivalent, and you get giant sized a-holes.
that sure does open the door for carpet bombimng with few claims of civilian casualties
Denada.

$ 2 Billion Dollar Budget? Thats like $1,000.00 per Volunteer. C'mon how's that a threat. The best they can arm these guys is the cheapest hand gun in the world (Found at your local Dollar Store) and perhaps a Hockey Helmet, Jock Strap and a Army Uniform. I doubt they could add a walkie-talkie. (Perhaps a Dollar Store kind). Nows that just for equipment. Well maybe China is financing this, I mean they have a military budget that goes into the $32 B US range, Which can possibly be as high as $90 B US. They on the other hand if they where doing the same we would take that seriously, Where talking $16,000.00 a head, Enough to maintain them and arm them.
If We can get him to make all civilians part of the army we wont have to worry about collateral damage or insurgents just terminate all with prejudice.
I would like to see if this new army reduces the unemployed in the country's employment statistics.
Is Chavez short?
Because he sure has the Napoleonic complex thing going full tilt.
bttt
LOL!!
Keep talking, you're helping me sell my wife on that AR-15 I've been dreaming of.
Now I really believed you till you got to the going back home part.
You mean she's not actively encouraging you to go buy one??? Perhaps she will get you one for your birthday.
This is your country on crack...
LOL. I asked them if they wanted to stay in the states and this was my answer, "Are you joking? It is 5 to 1 women to men there...you should go to Venezuela.
