Unfortunately, the US cannot do anything covertly to assist those disaffected military officers or one of the socialists in our CIA, State or Congress will leak our activities to the Chavez-bots on Capitol Hill and the MSM and Chavez will hold press conferences about how the US is planning on overthrowing his country (which will cause oil to go up another $10 bbl). Oh, and Chavez will jail the dissafected officers. Just like Castro did in Cuba.

We do not have a foreign policy because we cannot keep secrets which aren’t in line with our enemies wishes.

I believe that both the military coup in Indonesia that brought Suharto to power and the one in Chile which brought Pinochet to power were caused by the pro-Communist President initiating a plot to kill or capture all the top Generals and that they almost succeeded in both cases they military coup was not really a military takeover but defensive response to prevent an illegal total Communist take over.
