President Hugo Chávez asked Tuesday his Colombian counterpart Álvaro Uribe to clarify if his government is concerned about recent purchase of weapons by Venezuela, as stated by US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

During his presentation at the meeting of Defense Ministers of the Americas held currently in Nicaragua, the US senior official argued that neighboring nations were concerned about recent procurement by Venezuela of arms and the possibility of such weapons ending in the hands of leftwing rebels.

President Chávez rebutted these remarks and labeled Rumsfeld as a "war dog."

"The only neighboring country of ours having guerrillas is Colombia. Therefore, with due respect, I do ask Colombian President, Don Álvaro Uribe, to say something," he reasoned

The thug is harassing President Uribe as his means of driving a wedge with the U.S. getting back at Don Rumsfeld. I hope Uribe sees right through it.
