He may be a nut, but he's a dangerous nut.
On the plus side, he seems to be losing some of his attraction in LatAm and the candidates he has been pushing in Latin American elections have not won. Also, Spain cancelled its contract with him to supply war materials, partly because he was draggin his heels because he felt the price was too high since the Spanish would have to buy the technology from France or Israel (we wouldn't license it, of course). But I think it was mainly because of Spanish concern over the stability of the country and a fear that they might not get paid after building the jets and other materials Chavez wanted. It certainly wasn't out of any ideological concern, alas, since the Spanish government is very leftist, but was motivated by lack of confidence in the capacities of Venezuela under Chavez.

There is a little disconnect in the article.
the Venezuelan government has issued thousands of "cedulas," the equivalent of social security cards, to people from Cuba, Colombia and "Middle Eastern nations that host foreign terrorist organizations."
How many Cubans, Colombians and people from "Middle Eastern nations that host foreign terrorist organizations" have Social Security Cards in the U.S.? Millions?
Recently, several Pakistanis were apprehended at the US-Mexican border with fraudulent Venezuelan documents
If they were fraudulent, wouldn't that suggest that the Venezuelan Government was not helping them?

Anytime a government such as Venezuela's is unreliable about documents we need to react with swift and firm measures. At a minimum, we should immediately ban all Venezuelan documents (including diplomatic ones!!!) for any new entries to the USA, period. The message should be clear: we can't trust your documents, no one with your country's documents may enter. Of course, our spineless weasel pols and bureaucrats will never take even the most elementary such steps to protect America...........

I'd say that it would be very obvious to a Spanish-speaking ICE agent if a Pakistani were to try and cross the border with Venezuelan documents.

But by golly, the BP better not even think about detaining anyone suspicious or else.

Additionally, "cedulas" are more than social security cards. They're national id cards.

I'm very familiar with cedulas as I live in South America.

"The report says members of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which Washington considers a terrorist organization, "have already entered the US across the southwest border."
Anyone heard any "official" response by the White House on this report?

I'm still surprised Rumsfield got away with saying the same thing about the threat of the southern border being used by terrorists almost 2 years ago.

They don't even need Venezuela. They have Mexico. Beheading has become a prominent sport in Mexico already.
