Posted on 06/26/2007 10:43:02 AM PDT by Fennie

Venezuelian President Hugo Chavez has urged soldiers to prepare for a guerrilla-style war against the United States. He said the US government is using psychological and economic warfare as part of an unconventional campaign aimed at derailing his government. US officials reject claims that Washington is considering a military attack.

"Hugo needs a productive hobby."

I hear "pushin' up daisies" can be very relaxing.

“..Hugo Chavez has urged soldiers to prepare for a guerrilla-style war against the United States.”

Will they have free access across the southern border?

Chavez is destroying Venezuela all on his own - he doesn’t need any help from us.

he doesn’t need any help from us.

But he does need a ‘scapegoat’ for the disaster he’s creating.

I wish we would tell that SOB to keep that ‘tar’ he calls oil.

A direct bombing and naval bombardment would suit me just fine. I like somewhat more convential campaigns.

"psychological" and "economic" warfare are too slow and too psychologically and economacally draining....drives me nuts.

Kill Chavez today...

Jets and helicopters for a guerrilla-style war? Sounds like more he is preparing to invade his neighbors...

So is primo Hugo going to be giving out free Kalashnikov to disaffected conservatives?

The title sort of implies...

Someone already posted a similar comment.

However, the President does the right thing by publicly ignoring Chavez.

See, that’s the whole deal.

Communist dictators run their countries straight into the shtr and use America as the scapegoat for causing all their problems - similar to how the Islamists and Palestinians blame their plight on the Israelis.

And, to top it all off, the anti-American American Left consistently sides with them.
