A report that the Us officials supported coup plotters in Venezuela is offending and insulting. It does not matter whether these officials preferred constitutional means or other means. The point is that they interferred in the affairs of another soveriegn state. Kudos for the people of Venezuela, you remained steadfast behind your leader. That is important.

A report meant to discredit the U.S. It's just so much bs.

How do you support a communist? By ignoring all that Chavez is doing to tear apart the legitimate Venezuelan government?

Their leader is supporting terrorists.

Again, FARC wants to run operations on U.S. soil. Chavez has supported them and is granting them safe havens in Western Venezuela. That is unacceptable, and I certainly hope that those in charge of our foreign policy are doing something about this.

Chavez is acting in a manner that is a threat to us. I want that threat stopped. I do not care what it takes. If we have to engineer a coup, so be it. We've already had one major attack too many. I don't want any more. If our hands get dirty, I can deal with that. I find it far preferable than multiple Oklahoma City-type attacks.
