Televangelist Pat Robertson caused a stir some months back when he suggested assassinating Venezuela's Hugo Chavez.  Well, he's not looking so crazy after all these days.

Chavez wants to be the new Castro, only he could be more dangerous because: a) he's nuts; b) he has oil wealth; and c) he's cozying up with Islamofascists.  He'd better watch where he treads. 

I'm hoping we take down Iran before Bush leaves office.  If that happens, Hugo will be hanging out there all alone.  Perhaps his people will eventually tire of his antics and toss him on the ash heap of history.  Or perhaps we will do something to undermine his regime.  My guess is we won't allow him to continue down this path indefinitely. 

Keep sniffing for the Fire and Brimstone, Hugo.  You will encounter them soon enough.

Hugo has a problem with sulfur himself. Maybe he was smelling his own hair grease.

"Venezuela: Slowly Turning Off the Tap Toward the US

"According to the BBC: "Venezuela's state oil firm has said it will no longer disclose information to US financial regulators after paying off debts in the US. PDVSA [CITGO]said it was no longer obliged to be regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after buying up $83m in US-traded bonds." At the same time Venezuela has begun to ship two million barrels of oil to India per month, making use of India's heavy crude refineries, for which Venezuela's [SULFUR LADEN OIL] is no problem."...EMPHASIS MINE.

Do not count on the Venezuelan people to solve this problem for us. Remember the fiasco of their last election, rigged and stolen by Chavez, and certified by Carter. What are the Venezuelans going to do, send their women out to bang their pots again? But until we find a way to delegitimize and take down some of our own fifth columnists (see Carter above), we won't be able to do anything either. I'm just grateful and surprised that Bush isn't sucking up to him, after all Chavez is brown and speaks Spanish.
