#5 I have heard that early in 1944, British Intelligence considered assassinating Hitler, but decided Hitler was making so many boneheaded decisions that the war would be shorter if they left him alone.

Question for the professors at Rantburg U:
How likely is it that Chavez will attack Colombia? Or that his policies will bring his government down around his ears soon?

#8 Frank food won't be a problem for a long time. In fact that situation has improved in the near term. Cadvi has realeased big-money for imports. Shortages are less apparent that 4 months ago. That said - the power supply is very iffy and might bring out the crowds. But I see the old quick fixer band aid approach might work with that too. In time it will be food and inflation - but that's still years off.

/hoping I'm really wrong.

#10 Once the paychecks to the military start bouncing...

They don't need to bounce, Frank. When they reach the point where the paycheck won't cover housing and food, Chavez is toast. That day isn't too far off, even for senior officers.
