#1 Chavez surely doesn't think that he will be able to keep or operate the Citgo refineries in the US if he decides to shut off the oil to America. Like many US Democrats, he thinks rules are for Republicans. If Chavez isn't very careful, Condoleeza Rice and George Bush will jerk a knot in his tail that will end the Chavez thugocracy.

#3 I get the impression that Hugo sees that he’s running out of "Technically Legal" maneuvers. But it appears he still hasn’t grasped his role in the Pimp/Whore dynamics. Refusal to recognize this will most assuredly result in a Bitch-Slap like he’s never seen.

#4 kook, hugo is president of a population of 14 million and he see's his revolution as correcting that demographic inconsequentiality.

hugo is like all the lefts useful idiots, belicose and vastly over rated. If hugo was the revolutionaries revolutionary, he'd help those dying in the camps of North korea with food and some compassion for these poor souls suffering. Predictably he wont do this because its the ideology of the left that bankrolls incidious behavior in order to expand its power. hugo thinks his revolution will expand across latin america, with him at the center......how many venezuelans will die between the start of this trip and the abrupt end is really the question.

Whats not up for debate is the fact that hugo and hugos ego are all that matters to hugo and his followers, no different than kim, and pol and all those whose blueprint he follows. Failure is the only option when your intellectual bank is rupt.

#5 It would be as simple as locking the gates to CITGO for a week and he will come crawling. He is a creature that we are allowing to operate. We should slap them down faster than we do, which seems to be few and far between. This guy will get momentum and friends like Kim and Hamas and expand his capabilities. We should do something now. Not war, but economically, and make it significant. Threaten to nationalize, US that is, the CITGO refineries in the best interset of eminent domain.

#6 Russia's ARMYPRESS.com has an article describing that there are no legal obstacles preventing Russia from selling MIG fighter aircraft and other types of asets to Chavez. ARMYPRESS also has an article about NORTH AFRICA will be a new region of competition between the USA and Russia for local arms deals.
