#1 Relations between the two governments have remained tense since Chavez said the U.S. helped plan a failed two-day coup against him in 2002.

Next time, lets nab him first, get him to an isolated place OUTSIDE VENEZUELA. (Saddahm's hole near Tikrit is available) Then his cronies can squabble over who's in charge, while we take over the governmental infrastructue.

#2 ``There are cases where they have pressured presidents into suicide,’’ Chavez said. ``Or through a communication war they can incite an assassination.’’


I hear a bullet works quite well too. We have some great snipers here that would be happy to assist...

#3 What a good little dictator - just like Sadaam, Hitler and all the others, his growing paranoia will soon result in a good excuse for a purge.

#4 The raw power of self-delusion seems to be driving most of what the poor wretch says and does. He does seem to believe himself more often than not. An intervention for his own good may be necessary to save him from himself!

#5 I thought this guy was elected in a democratic election. What's the Bush beef?

an intervention may be necessary by those around him to save them themselves.

#7 He's beginning to sound like Cleavon Little in Blazing Saddles: "One more step, and the Commie gets it!"

#12 These comments are not intended for the US audience but for his own people, and perhaps for his neighbors. Blame someone else is an age-old political strategy and blaming Costa Rica just doesn't cut it.

#13 Somebody help me out here with the decoration's Hugo's wearing. I recognize the Failed Coup Sash, but is that for failing to pull one off or for surviving a failed coup? Or does the dancing pony signify the wearer has managed both?

Everyone, of course, knows the Prickly Medal of Supporting Terrorists over his heart, but that thing around his neck -- is that the Kissed Castro's Ass medallion, or the Incipient President for Life amulet?

#14 RC, LOL. Anyone else think it looks like he's had collagen injections to his lips?

#15 Actually, Matt, his face looks very, very native for that part of the world. He's the spitting image of any number of Mayan statues.

#16 juriseqs,


Kills innocent people: check
Supports terrorism: check
Hates the U.S.: check
Bonified Commie: check
Hates Capitalism: check
Election by Intimidation: check

I (undersigned) Jimmy Carter, certify Hugo Chavez as the democratically elected President of Venezuela.

#17 RC's got it. That's a significant part of the appeal.

#18 Yep, now that RC's pointed it out the resemblance is uncanny.

#21 How about instead of killing him, we capture him, and take pictures of him in his skivvies with panties on his head. We'll post them on the internet and then let him go in Iraq.

#22 Good Lord, no, Silentbrick! The US may commit some shady acts, but nothing that horrible.

I agree with Schwartz. To a typical Latin American idiot, blaming the US always works to take heat off your failures.

#23 Silentbrick, he might just like it.

#24 But, controlling his people will be much harder after that..it's hard to be macho with panties on your head, just look at how it affects the jihadis.
