Chavez: the US is the "most savage, cruel and muderous empire" in world history

CNN World News reports: Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has told thousands of visiting students that if US forces were to invade the South American country, they would be soundly defeated.

The US government has strongly denied Chavez' claims that it is considering military action against Cuba's closest ally in the Americas.

But Chavez said that the US government ... which "won't stop caressing the idea of invading Cuba or invading Venezuela" ... should be warned of the consequences. "If someday they get the crazy idea of coming to invade us, we'll make them bite the dust defending the freedom of our land."

Chavez spoke during the opening ceremony of a world youth festival bringing together student delegations from across the world and convened under the slogan "Against Imperialism and War." He called the United States the "most savage, cruel and murderous empire that has existed in the history of the world."

The Venezuelan leader said "socialism is the only path" and told the students the collective goal is to "save a world threatened by the voracity of US imperialism."

Earlier, the students waved flags, danced in traditional dress, and held signs praising socialism, Cuban leader Fidel Castro and Ernesto "Che" Guevara. More than 300 students from the United States shouted out their disapproval of US President George W. Bush, chanting "Get out Bush!" Other students chanted: "Bush, fascist -- you're a terrorist!"

Every country is like an angry teenager lashing out at we, the parents who gave them everything.

Wonder if they'll ever grow up.

Chavez now may be the front runner to represent the Lib base of the Democratic party in '08!

Coo coo. Coo coo.
Is this guy close to losing power and needing a scapegoat or something? He sounds like Michael Moore.

You sure Howard Dean didn't say this??

LOL!!! HillaryCLinton/Hugo Chavez 2008! Hugo Chavez the South American answer to Howard Dean!

"More than 300 students from the United States shouted out their disapproval of US President George W. Bush, chanting "Get out Bush!" Other students chanted: "Bush, fascist -- you're a terrorist!""

Sounds like Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, Lynne Stewart, and other traitors were well represented here. Chavez is a raving lunatic, but unfortunately he sits on a bunch of oil so he has a lot more $$$ to pursue his idiocies than does Fidel Castro. It really is terrible that when that half-hearted coup took place against Chavez they lacked the fortitude to expel him from the country (or put him where the sun would never shine again). Letting him continue in power was a blunder of historic proportions.

Isn't this what sandman insane said just before he found a hole to hide in. I think this guy should watch the highlights of the last gulf war and see just how fast a BS dictator can fall.

"Hugo Chavez the South American answer to Howard Dean!"

LOL, here's the Hugo Chavez of the Howard Dean scream:

"First, we're going to Puerto La Cruz! Then we're going to Cumana! Then we're going to Ciudad Guayana, and Puerto Ayacucho! Then we're gonna go to Caracas, and we're going to take back the presidency!!! OOLEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Pat Robertson said on "The 700 Club" it was the United States' duty to stop Chavez from making Venezuela a "launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism."

I think 'ol Pat might have scared him. Sheesh!

don't thank me, you won't be here long

Let's hurry up and invade and let his pathetic little enchilada army oppose us.

[Vince Ferrer]

I would be embarrassed to be a citizen of a country with a leader that has to beg for attention like this.

[AZ_Cowboy]

Not a Dem, just always hated crass stupidity.

Why? You're the poster boy for it, apparently. Hope you enjoyed your short stay here.
