You summed it up. Look to Castro and Chavez if you want to know where this is coming from. And oil is definitely weapon they plan to use.

We have stupidly ignored Latin America for years (heck, Clinton turned over most of Colombia to the Castro-inspired and supported FARC guerrillas) and now, I fear, it's too late to do anything about it.

Well, except perhaps to drill ANWAR.

Ping to CW. I just read about this in the Spanish press, too. Big news, not good.
