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.
"The odds of nuclear use now is more than 50 percent within five years. There just ain't going to be any winners to this game....everyone loses in some fashion."
I am not sure where the 50% number comes from however, while I am not able to quantify the probability, I believe the use of nuclear weapons is a virtual certainty. Everyone will certainly loose in this. Sad really, since my experience teaches me that one on one basis folks are pretty much the same all over the world in regard to their wants and desires. Regardless, the world is choosing camps and it appears humanity will be at each others throat in the very near future.
GOOD!!!!

Sounds like, if we go to war with Iran, Venezuela will have to get some action also.
I'm afraid you might be right.
That's why I'm so afraid/angry about Hillary.
To me, and I've said it before, Hillary is the end of the civilized world or at least the end of Western civilization.
Absolute lying, insidious evil.
OK...this may seem to be nitpicking, but Venezuela is north of the equator.
"I also wish we would rout out the traitors and 5th columnists in our midst and put them on trial."
"Probably a higher priority than the first part."
Actually I agree. I wish we could get more of our countrymen to agree, think and realize this.
Our navy wouldn't have to sail too far from our back yard to practice some good old fashioned gun boat diplomacy. Hugo needs to assume room temperature.
Shoot him seven times in the head, London style.

I believe the words on the old Goliad flag that flew during the Texas war of independence should be shown to Senor Chavez. IIRC, it said "Come And Take It".
Venezuela is north of the equator. But Chavez has his head up his butt which means that he is looking at things up side down.
So you were partly right.
Should have hung him from a lamp post when they had the chance.
Somebody needs to take this guy out.
Agree. I think America rounded up its allies for a World War III. There are a whole lot of shit faces that need to be wiped out at one go. Its time America did something imperial for a change instead of sitting idle and being called names by a bunch of worthless petty criminals in Iran and Venezuela.
Time to enlist a coalition of the willing. I wish India signs up on your side. We sure will if you promise to rid the world of them Bin Laden stooges in Pakiland.
...to parphase, Ronald Wilson Reagan, "Let the bombin' begin....5,4,3,2...
bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran and Pres. Chavas.
Good conversation starter, though.
Sometimes Muttly screws up in reverse.
Handy.
[to me, anything south of the Catskills (love that name) is south of the equator!]
