"while it shelters groups with ties to Middle East terrorists"

This gives us the excuse we need to actually bomb Chavez.

The scenario need to be thought out like this...

We absolutely need to bomb Iran. Chavez makes himself an unbearable problem by shutting off oil sales to The US. We expose Chavez Terrorist ties, declare him on the side of the Terrorists and bomb him out of power and installing a friendly government.

Fallout? Anti-US sentiment rises in South America and to some degree in other parts of the world.

I say bomb away!

I say confiscate Venezuela's oil in the meantime.

I agree with your assessment. I think the stage is being set in the event we need to take down Iran. If in the wake of that event Mr. Potato Head from Venezuela acts up, we can then do what is necessary to step on him.
