#1 In comments cited by local media, Cabrera said it was "illogical that "al-Qaeda, which is against North American imperialism, would go against a state that is fighting, though in a different way, against that hegemony. We fight for constitutionality, legality, morality and truth - not acts of terrorism."

This is the most succinct summary of the logic beyond the Great Moonbat Convergence I have read. So cheers for that.

#4 I would expect an attack on Chavez's oil soon, then, for the reason that it *isn't* logical.

I'm surprised our PSYOPS guys haven't used leaflets telling al-Q that the way to destroy America is by shooting each other in the head.

#5 A: I would expect an attack on Chavez's oil soon, then, for the reason that it *isn't* logical.

Actually, I think it's pretty logical. If they're in the business of attacking oil targets, attacking Arab ones isn't so smart, because Arabs fund terrorists, whereas Venezuelans provide moral support, at best. Western oil targets are presumably better-protected than the ones in places like Venezuela. Venezuela may not fund terrorists, but it may turn a blind eye to them - which would make Venezuela an attractive target. Attacking non-Arab oil targets raises oil prices while increasing the amount of profits made by Muslim oil producers, hence increasing the flow of donations to terrorists. It has the added beneficial side-effect of damaging the American economy.

#6 Any way we can get these nutjobs to Venezuela? the quicker they try to bomb Chavez's oil, the quicker they die.
