Venezuela getting ready to confront United States with military training of left-wing groups
India Daily ^ | October 23 2005 | Sonia Joshi

Oil rich Venezuela scared of the same fate as Iraq, is planning some extreme measures to confront United States in case it is attacked. Venezuela is fast spreading arms, money and military training tactics to left-wing groups in Ecuador and six other Latin American countries. According to some international think tanks, the plan is to rage insurgency from outside Venezuela in case Venezuela is attacked and occupied.

According to media sources, left-wing groups in Ecuador and six other Latin American countries have received training in urban guerrilla war tactics from Venezuela this year, The Miami Herald reported Oct. 22, citing an Ecuadorian military intelligence report. While the report does not directly link Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to the training, it does identify two Caracas installations -- one belonging to the Venezuelan army and the other to the Ministry of Defense -- where the training took place. In the past, Caracas has denied it supports groups or organizations that use violence to achieve political ends.

Actually, this is a glaring Bush mistake. a 25cent bullet would have done the trick when they had him.

I think to thank the fine government of Trinidad and Tobago in their help in the WOT, we should give them Chavez' oilfields after we blow them to kingdom come in gratitude.

Is there any real proof, or is this just laying the ground for a possible future operation, based on very dodgy intelligence. Or as its know intelligence tasters, where a story is planted in a publication not connected with any of the major countries to see how it floats

You don't spread that sort of weaponry into neighboring nations to protect yourself from a fictional future invasion. You do it to destabilize them now. Chavez intends to be the master of a revolution that Castro could never succeed in starting, and he has a whole lot of oil money to help him.

I fully expect this guy to make a move on Colombia, and if he succeeds there, Panama. Consider the implications of the latter and be aware that this tinpot dictator could easily turn into something very nasty indeed.

Chavez and Castro are also proping up Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua. Reagan's problems in the 1980's are back!

I think this tactic is called "mooning the giant," for obvious reasons.
