Just as if I were to say "we ought to go ahead and assassinate Chavez if we're going to be blamed for attempting it anyways." Pat Robertson is entitled to say the same thing. The only difference is he has a platform and a soap box from which to pontificate. The President, the SoD, or the CIA have no need to respond to him, his supporters or his detractors. If there are covert ops underway, Robertson has no knowledge of any plans or particulars of them. He's merely another talking head with a microphone and something to say.
I agree with him by the way. Chavez is nothing less than a headache, he insults America, our President, our people, our military and most of all, Condi Rice:-) He was ushered into power by Jimmy Carter, an affirmed idiot and is allied with the enemies of freedom. For the sake of the Venezuelan people and peace on Earth, he should be unceremoniously removed from office.
I agree with you 100%.
