Chavez: Oil for no one if Iran attacked
2006-05-12
Rome, May 12, IRNA-Visiting Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said in Rome on Thursday in case of a military attack against Iran, no country in the world would have access to crude oil. Chavez made the remark at a press conference, adding, "As Iran's President Ahmadinejad has reiterated, if Tehran would come under attack, oil would get scarce for everyone."

He also said that the US President George W. Bush should be put to trial at the international court of justice for having launched genocide in Iraq. The Venezuelan President added, "For all the horror it has created around the globe in the course of the past century, the United States' war machine should be dismantled, since under the current conditions it is a threat against the entire mankind, particularly against our children."

Chavez added, "The North American empire is the most cruel murderer regime that has ever come to power in world history and a serious threat for all nations." He believes the death of the United States had better taken place in the course of the 21st century, because "otherwise the entire world would face the threat of annihilation."

The revolutionary Latin American President concluded his remarks, arguing, "Although in terms of military power the United States ranks first in the world, but in the public opinion of the world nations it ranks rock bottom low, and many nations fell stronger in terms of logical reasoning than the United States."
Hugo has really been sampling his own product, hasn't he?

#16  "Upper thigh" is an adequate target description for spraying bullets I should think, TMH. The gentleman in Gaza(?), so targetted on Page 1, may never walk again.

Do you mean the upper most thigh?

#14  You do not want to make him into another Che by killing him.

Quite. On the other hand, a spray of bullets in the upper thigh should distract him nicely...

#13  "...Death of the United States had better taken place in the 21st century" - iff he means Year 2015-2020, the Lefties + Russia-China, directly andor indirectly, had already spilled the beans years, yarns and yarns, ago. OH, DUBYA, CAN WE HAVE A DRAFT NOW, ESPEC BEFORE PAULA "DELILAH/
BATHSHEBA" "KNIGHTS OF MALTA" ABDUL DECIDES TO KICK ANOTHER COCONUT, AGAIN, THIS TIME ON AMERICAN IDOL!?

#12  If Chavez wants to be a secondary target in the Iran clean-up, so be it. Suits me just fine. It'll be worth every tax dollar to replace a few more cruise missiles after it's over.

#11  You do not want to make him into another Che by killing him. What you want is to cut off his source of money: CITGO's refineries!

#7  this whelp needs to be taken to the shed - laser dot and *SPLAT*. My tax dollars should pay for it, dammit. I'm tired of third-rank tinpots standing on a couple boxes attempting to look tall. Knock his ass off

#3  Isn't it the universal argument of tyrants that blockades are acts of war? Wouldn't this qualify as blockade?

#2  You do not have to do that. Just confiscate his refineries: CITGO.

CITGO is 100% PDVSA owned. PDVSA is the Venezuela oil company.
