#1 Chavez will contribute a few aircraft carrier battle groups, I'm sure. And some boomers. And he will watch how things go from one of his AWACS planes. With his wife. Morgan Fairchild. Who he's seen nekkid.

#2 Fine. if their exercises stray one inch into international waters, have a US fleet there to disrupt it. Matter of fact, it might be a good idea to park a carrier battle group on Hugo's doorstep for the whole operation.

#3 Let him have all the military exercises he wants. It lets us watch and truely see how fucked up his military is.

#4 War Games from Lilliput? I'm hoping there's lots of seagulls out that day.

#5 I'm with Darth. This could be informative...and humorous. Probably why it'll never happen.

#6 I don't think so, msgeek. While it might be satisfying, the very first principle of US foreign policy (back to Washington) is Freedom of the Seas. We fought many skirmishes (no to mention the War of 1812 and WWI) for our or others' rights. I suppose we could say "freedom for us and no one else," but that weakens the policy.

Now, if they leave international waters and cross into the US coastal zone, impound them.
