No I missed that. Operation costs too high? Or just didn't see the need? Cuba's not going to be attacking anyone and we're not letting anyone invade land 90 miles off our coast (& one where we're based.)

I don't recall that Castro made any comment other than no thanks but it was clearly a pointless gesture. Chavez may have ended up selling them to China but even that is a worthless gesture.

President Hugo Chavez said they would help to protect Venezuela if the US ever mounted an invasion.
For about 5 seconds.

This would be ideal for a war of resistance, Mr Chavez said, a reference to his often repeated concerns that the US may want to invade Venezuela to seize its oil reserves.
Well given that lefties everywhere (this nut included think we invaded Iraq for it's oil) and seeing what our gasoline prices are like, I don't think my pocketbook could stand another "war for oil." Might as well sell the car.
If I have to add a sarcasm tag, you aren't really paying attention.

Decent clients have enough money and sense not to buy Russian junk.

I also forgot to say that Venezuela has a contract to build millions of AK rifles, RPG launchers, and other Russian/chinese weapons

We would be smart to take out Chavez early. His infection is spreading through South America.

Chavez can put anything he wants in the sky. It doesn't matter, they will be dead before they know this beauty is even there.
Nothing can touch this bird in the sky.

So the Iranians aren't the only suckers that the Russians have pawned old Soviet era hardware off on for cold cash...

Our only hope now would be "black operations", but it won't happen.

Bruce Cockburn (a Lefty who supported the Sandinistas, but a good songwriter) I have never understood why anyone likes that song. It is lame and plods along in a mope. And who the hell calls it a rocket launcher?
It's a freakin missile. A SAM, an RPG but a launcher?
I never heard much else from Cockburn but I have heard this song get refrenced a few times since 1983 when i first heard it - and I just dont get it. C-

"Nothing and nobody will stop us from making our country's armed forces stronger," he said, while stressing that Venezuela was not preparing to invade anybody.
Shades of the Third Reich bump.
