Rome, May 12, IRNA-Visiting Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said in Rome on Thursday in case of a military attack against Iran, no country in the world would have access to crude oil.
Chavez made the remark at a press conference, adding, "As Iran's President Ahmadinejad has reiterated, if Tehran would come under attack, oil would get scarce for everyone."
He also said that the US President George W. Bush should be put to trial at the international court of justice for having launched genocide in Iraq.
The Venezuelan President added, "For all the horror it has created around the globe in the course of the past century, the United States' war machine should be dismantled, since under the current conditions it is a threat against the entire mankind, particularly against our children."
Chavez added, "The North American empire is the most cruel murderer regime that has ever come to power in world history and a serious threat for all nations."
He believes the death of the United States had better taken place in the course of the 21st century, because "otherwise the entire world would face the threat of annihilation."
The revolutionary Latin American President concluded his remarks, arguing, "Although in terms of military power the United States ranks first in the world, but in the public opinion of the world nations it ranks rock bottom low, and many nations fell stronger in terms of logical reasoning than the United States."
Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez who was in Italy's capital, Rome, on a two day visit left for Vienna, Austria, on Thursday evening.
During his stay in Rome President Chavez in addition to his Italian counterpart, met and conferred with the new Italian Parliament Speaker Fausto Bertinotti, the Head of Italy's leftist Democratic Party Piero Fassino, and in Vatican, with Pope Benedict XVI.
This Clymer is really starting to annoy me.
I wonder what his DU nickname is??? I know I've read this crap before!
"The North American empire is the most cruel murderer regime that has ever come to power in world history and a serious threat for all nations."
Oh I get it!
Things look upside-down from south of the equator.
This guy's begging to be capped.
Sluggo is just upset because his psychotic ramblings don't affect the price of oil the way the Iranian nutjobs ramblings do.
Jimmah Carter musta loaned him one of his speechwriters.
The US gets about 7% of its petroleum needs from Venezuela.
I think Venezuela is a lot more dependent on oil revenue than we are on its oil.
President Chavez can k my a, take his CITGO with him. If there was every a gas station to boycott CITGO is it.
Is it within the rules to advocate the popping of foreign leaders?
every = ever
...sounds like the soup Nazi
I don't buy CITGO, drink French wine or buy Chinese clothing (sorry, I take that one back).
This fruitcake just keeps getting better and better doesn't he?
Iran gets attacked, Chavez messes with the oil market, we kill him and just take the oil.
How long is Chavez going to last before the last thing he hears is a very loud Boom! or doesn't hear the bullet in his head?
I think the world is coming to a very large push comes to shove soon and a lot of people are going to die.
Sometimes I wish we really were an "imperialistic" nation and would just go ahead and finish off a whole lot of bad guys.
I also wish we would rout out the traitors and 5th columnists in our midst and put them on trial.

Ooops, sorry for the double post. Slow response today.
"oil for no one" = no cash for Hugo. He'd be killed by his own troops within weeks as their economy crashed.
