If the military permits Chavez or his people to re-establish themselves, they can expect to be heavily purged. They will deserve it. Coups cannot be carried out half-way, especially against communists like Chavez. Pinochet understood this perfectly.

Geez, do we need to educate these people on carrying out revolutions?? Someone should send the High Command a copy of the Patriot... aim for the officers first, that would be Hugo himself.

Remember when we had Noriega arrested......and he got loose? He went nuts.....Chavez will want revenge against the coup plotters.....Venezuela will be unstable.....Castro will send volunteers to help Chavez.....Castro needs the oil. What a screw up!!! Bush II blew this like Bush I blew the Noriega arrest.
