Hugo Chavez shows the United States to want to assassinate it

CARACAS - the president vénézuélien Hugo Chavez showed Sunday the president George W Bush to prepare an attack against him, affirming "to be condemned to died" and threatening the United States to suspend oil exports if it were assassinated.

"If me am assassinated, there is a large culprit on this planet which is called the president of the United States, George (W.) Bush ", declared the president populist of left in his radio-televised program "Hello, president".

"If by the hand of the devil, these perverse plans were crowned success (...) forget oil vénézuélien Mr Bush", it launched.

The United States accounts for 85% of exports vénézuéliennes of the crude oil, that is to say between 12 and 15% of American consumption.

"I will not hide. I will walk in the street with you. I put my destiny between the hands of God, but I know that I am condemned to death ", launched Hugo Chavez.

February 12, his large ally, cuban president Fidel Castro had already shown the president of the United States to want to assassinate the president vénézuélien, stressing that itself "had survived hundreds of plans (of attack) of the American empire".

"Neither Fidel Castro nor me let us say silly things. If it arrives to me something, I make responsible the president for the United States ", also indicated Sunday Mr. Chavez.

Since his arrival with the capacity in 1999, the former soldier putschist called into question traditional alliance between Caracas and Washington, preaching a "revolution bolivarienne" and weaving close links with Cuba, animal black of the United States.

The president vénézuélien always showed Washington to be behind the missed coup d'etat which had moved away it from the capacity during 47 hours in April

We can only hope it's true. The little Marxist is hardly worthy of the bullet it would take to send him to the next world. His meddling in Bolivia and Colombia have caused nothing but death and misery, not to mention the purging of his political opponents domestically.

Of course, it should appear that he was betrayed by one of his inner circle.

That communist @$$hole could not make a more ludicrous claim. If we wanted him dead he would literally never know what hit him.

Something tells me that if the current administration wanted him dead he'd be dead already. The tend to be a tad more competent then the JFK way of doing things.

Assassination? We have loftier goals than that....

Now getting his own citizens to run him out of the country, that would be satisfactory.

Hey Hugo, there's nothing to that. It's all BULL, really. Don't worry about a thing. Get some sleep and in the morning, take a nice walk. Enjoy yourself

Life is short
