Yep put in a strong man who will then in years to come turn around an p**s on America, and then we can get another in and another.
There is such a depressing familiarity about all this. From both sides as each ups the anti of charges against the other, as if both countries are locked and loaded into a confrontation.
There are three charges here
1)Failed to fully cooperate on counterterrorism.
2)Forging links with Middle eastern terrorists.
3)Backing Columbian Terrorists.
I believe number 1 straight away but does Venezuela have to co operate with America, not really it is a sovereign country.
What are these links to Middle Eastern countries, its easy to say operational secrecy dictates we cant say, but I think its now important, if America is not to be seen as the Bully in South America.
What is Columbia's take, if Venezuela involving herself with Columbian para military organisations then its up to Columbia to say something.
We still have the war with the Islamic terrorists to win, do we want to open another front, involve your self further in the murky world of South American Politics, and alienate even further other South American countries and those who are non aligned
My answer is yes. We oppose the spread of communism in our hemisphere, pure and simple.
