Typical of all totalitarian Dictators as they seize control of a once free nation. The Banks are next

More work for the lawyers ~ and then Chavez has to figure out how he's going to get ships owned/controlled by/under contract with the negatively affected companies to stop and pick up his exports.

Guy has got a real problem here, but what does he care anyway ~ after all, he's the dictator, el supremo, etc.

One more reason to boycott Citgo.

They should have blown up their oil fields before being confiscated. And Chivez should be dragged out and shot like the socialist dog that he is.

[Nateman]

The only good thing that will come of this is oil revenues shrinking hence less money to cause troubles elsewhere.

[VeniVidiVici]

How come I hear nothing from the left-wing DUmmie types complaining about Chavez's fascism?

Here is proof.

[keat]

Wish we had Exxon stations around here. I'd cut up my Chevron and Shell cards right now.

[systematic]

Boycott Citgo as it is owned by dictator Chavez

[joesnuffy]

With Chavez in charge that should pretty much grind the economy to a halt..just like his guru Castro did to Cuba's economy...

Due largely to their incompetence, commie dictators can only run a business or a country by force.

The people of Venezuela are idiots and deserve to have the resources stolen from them. Maybe in ten years they will wonder where the trillion dollars in profits went. While they are still in huts and shacks. If the USA wanted to destabilize Venezuela all they have to do is broadcast the financial profits every day and remind the people how piss poor they live.

Venesuela exports mostly heavy, sour crude (like Mexico), and only a limited number of refineries in the US can process it.
