| #14 Someone needs to make a mach-2+ flyby of Caracas at three AM, and watch for snow-plows to be deployed to clean up what that would generate. We really do need to rattle this a$$hole's cage every once in awhile, just to let him know we aren't forgetting him or his excess bull$$$$. |

| #12 Chavez is a cartoon. It is like someone was doing bad typecasting for a bananna republic strongman. The more he opens his piehole the better for the US in South America. He is driving all of his erstwhile allies in the region away. Those who considered his way the path to regional prosperity are now ditching him. Sure, we could cut off the oil we get from him, but he is too fun to listen to to cut off now. Besides, he makes Iran look bad too. |

| #11 SOP35/rat: I'd read that somewhere and had questioned that at the time....however, as far as I know, it's true (that, basically the only refineries that could process his oil were here in the US - Citgo refineries). It could be there's some more in other areas of the world, but if push came to shove, he'd take a hit if he lost the U.S. as a "market." China could suck up his excess, I would assume, but if they can't refine it, that could be years from now. A long time for him to survive, w/o a lot of his oil money rolling in. |

| #9 This little blowhard. Didn't someone mention that the only refineries processing his heavy crude are ours. Quit refining his oil for 6 months. His bravado will dissipate rapidly. |
