#1 Today, Chávez is openly siding with:

North Korea

Iran

Syria

Cuba

--to accelerate his efforts to create a global coalition against the United States.

#3 Something about this stinks of Chalabism, that is intentional lies intended to encourage a US invasion.

I think Hezbollah has enough on their plate right now.

#4 Well, Hezzies are in fact in the Guajira Peninsula, and in many other places in South America. Wishing it were otherwise doesn't make it false.

#5 I hope nobody kills him, I just hope that his party suffers a HUGE loss at the next election (if they have them).

#6 If Chavez is facilitating the Venezuelan presence of a terrorist organization like Hezbollah, then he needs to be capped right away. All we need is a staging ground in our back yard so these sick genocidal f&cks can infiltrate into America. Chavez's oxygen consumption license just expired.

#8 Bring that deep-water Gulf field online, and cut imports from Venezuela. Watch Chavez squirm. Not many people want to deal with Venezuelan heavy crude. Hit him where it hurts the most - in the pocketbook.

#9 Agreed. Venezuelan oil is heavy and sour, but we have refineries tailored to it. Not too many others do at present. And China will need to ship it a long way if they try to sop up the production.

#10 U. S. has cut imports from Venezuela 25% in the last year though it is still our fourth largest source. I would suspect they will continue to fall.

#11 hasn't he promised about 140% of their yearly production in his Axis-Of-Evil World Tour?
