now is time for Navy lawyers to find a way to cancel this contract for good.

This is a MUST. I hope they are doing everything in their power to get rid of all contracts with CITGO.

Every contract has an out clause. The Navy needs to just exercise it. What's that assclown going to do, sue us?

I agree with divestment of Citgo goods.

We could even have an embargo on it but that would require an act of Congress. And would cost jobs. So expect no action until after the election.

My dad was in the oil business and had worked in Libya at times. He was moved to other areas after the mid-1980s.

There were probably people who had business in Cuba or Vietnam that had disruptions.

Maybe people would work more to challenge Hugo Chavez if they considered potential impact.

Navy officials point out the original contract was awarded in 1989. That was three years before Chavez launched a coup attempt and ten years before he became President.

And we can thank Jimmy Carter for helping Chavez stay in power

It would be an interesting contract to peruse. I bet there is something in there about only negotiating with democracies, not dictatorship countries. There's a loop hole somewhere if they want to find it.

Get rid of CITGO based upon the National Security of the United States of America.

Any other Country would have already done that, and kicked Chavez out of their Country!

This surprises you? How many terrorists do you think the USA has trained and equipped under the guise of Foreign Aid, food for oil and disaster relief? More evidence of your tax dollars at work.

USN should do like 7-11 and tell them to take their gas and Chavez it.

I wanted to post a sign outside the local "Citgo" gas station that reads: Shut Chavez up-don't buy his gas here!
