If we were smart, we'd use dioxin or thallium and make it look like a Russian relationship gone bad. Heck, the Russians would probably view it as a compliment.
No, I don’t agree with you on this. It is better to just get rid of him & flood the area with aid stamped “From your friends in AMERICA” That will help get rid of his memory, like a bad nightmare....
1. Declare Venezuela a terrorist state, this will do wonders for his bank balances, which will be frozen pretty much worldwide.
2. Force closure of CITCO. Don’t nationalize, Don’t buy it, just CLOSE it. Make a law making it illegal to buy fuel from them.
3. Cease any and all oil imports from Venezuela. This would bankrupt him more quickly than us. We are about the only country in the world that can refine his dirty sour crude. He can’t even refine it all himself. Let him sit in his palace with oil up to his fricken’ neck. With half his population already starving because of lack of basic food products, it won’t take long for the people to either kill him or vote him out. Canada or even Iraq can make up the difference.
4. Continue to fill our Strategic Reserve, which now stands at 750 million plus barrels on it’s way to a billion. Do everything possible to prevent the Democrats from passing a bill to stop buying and releasing our reserves. We must hang on to them for an emergency, not just because gas is up. Think of it this way, it’s an investment, and George Bush is the BEST OIL TRADER in the world. Why? Because every barrel is profitable....think about it.
