If Venezuela Attacked, Chavez Warns Bush of a 'Wider War'
President Hugo Chavez informed his United States counterpart, George W. Bush, that if he invaded Venezuela, "there would be wider war."
I don't have any plans to invade Venezuela. Do you have any plans to invade Venezuela?
Yes, yes I do. I confess! I dunnit! I've been scheming, planning, plotting deep plots, I ...*thwwwiff* ... *thoink* ... I'm, I'm getting very sleepy now I ... *thump*
He denounced what he called a new conspiracy against him, saying that "the United States thinks that the solution is to kill Chavez." He made the comments during a speech of almost three hours in Montevideo, Uruguay, DPA said. "Bush is a man without scruples, capable of anything", he said, and he quickly added, "He has no one but himself to blame if there is a mistake. We do not want a war, but if the U.S. launches an aggression against Venezuela, a 21st century revolutionary war will begin in the mountains and valleys of South America."
Whoopdy doo. A 21st century revolutionary war remarkably like a 20th century revolutionary war.
"It would not be a war of a day nor of a year, but of one hundred years," he said, and he promised that other pockets of resistance around the continent would emerge. He said that if the invasion took place, "they would also have to invade Cuba," just as if the U.S. commits an aggression against Cuba, "they will have to invade Venezuela."
Ahah. An axis of mini-evils. Shall we call it the Havana Pact? Or the Caracas Pact? Or the Pact Full of Nuts?
Montevideo's Municipal conference center was filled with representatives of local Uruguayan authorities and social organizations, with which the Venezuelan government promises to deepen relations.
