Chavez Expels the US Ambassador

In solidarity with fellow Marxist anachronism Evo Morales in Bolivia, Hugo Chavez has ordered the US Ambassador out of Venezuela for being an agent of the “imperial aggressor, the genocidal U.S. empire.” He has also recalled the Venezuelan ambassador to Washington, in a complete break of formal diplomatic relations.

    Like watching a train wreck in slo-mo and only funny until you remember that real people are involved.

    >>is something going to go down there?

    Anti-government protests in Bolivia are intensifying, Morales has blamed the United States for fomenting unrest and supporting the conservative governors in an alleged effort to overthrow the government. Many protests have turned violent and there are fears of an impending civil war.

    Somewhat similarly, Chavez has accused the United States of supporting a military coup and has arrested several senior officers.

    This man is out of his mind, it´s dangerous for his and is dangerous for latin america and USA, this must be treated as national security problem because he is making staments that offends the american people.
    He´s Brave because the oil money that he have and his relationship with Russia. And he have been slavering his fellow country mates.

  5. I don’t understand why we don’t take every US asset from these countries and tell them to call us when they’ve re-established a real government. Seriously.

    Otto, he’s brave because he has oil money and friends in Russia (I suppose) but mostly he’s brave because he knows that he’s lying 100%.    He knows the US is not trying to have him overthrown and is not out to get him.    This is a person who appeared without fear in the United States itself and called Bush a devil and whatnot and then drove to the Airport to fly home with not a second thought that he might be in danger from anyone at all.

    Setting up the US as the reason he’s got to bend his own people over is the only way he can possibly get away with it.    Then all the bad stuff has nothing to do with his policies.

    And yes, we absolutely should stop buying any of the oil from him.   Granted, it wouldn’t help all that much because China would still buy it but…
