We are the United States, we do what we want, when we want, to whom we want, and I doubt that your little pissant country can stop us. For all you know the US may attack you, Mr. Chavez, and you can't stop us, no one can stop us.
We could do it without lifting a weapon.
We buy more of Chavez's oil than any place else (65% comes here)....so we have to stop sending him $$ and start being self reliant (and the libs would scream that we are starving the people of Venezuela not this socialist creep)
