What an odd article. You have to read between the lines to figure out what exactly Chavez expects the Cubans to do there, but it seems obvious that they are to teach the Venezuelans how to live in scarcity and privation.

Chavez blamed a drought

It's remarkable how this "drought" somehow manages not to affect the economy of neighboring, captialist Columbia.

good point. Colombia is booming..BOOMING! I was there before Christmas and will be going back in a few days. Colombianos take great pride in their country and are very determind to move away from the problems of the past.

Oh the other hand many Venezolanos are stuck, cant get out, money is devalued and worthless and hatred towards Chaves is common...but still underground.

Obama and the RATS will try to keep him in power.
