[Infidelesto]

A Venezuelan journalist is reporting that Hugo Chavez’s government is recruiting young men to train with Hezbollah for the purpose of asymmetrical warfare against the US.

Fausta has the translation.

Hugo Chavez pretends to cut back on his support of the FARC, when his “dangerous” associations go well beyond the Colombian guerrilla.

See the original article and read the whole translation.

From WorldThreats.com:
"Chavez pledged that his country would 'stay by Iran at any time and under any condition,' state television reported. Ahmadinejad said he saw in Chavez a kindred spirit." "'We do not have any limitation in cooperation,' Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. 'Iran and Venezuela are next to each other and supporters of each other. Chavez is a source of a progressive and revolutionary current in South America and his stance in restricting imperialism is tangible.'":

From National Public Radio (NPR):
"Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has been visiting countries such as China, Iran and Russia as part of an effort to build a 'strategic alliance' of interests not beholden to the United States. He considers the United States his arch enemy.":

From the Russian News and Information Agency:
"'I am determined to expand relations with Russia,' Chavez, known as an outspoken critic of what he calls the United States' unilateralism, told the Russian leader, adding that his determination stemmed from their shared vision of the global order.":

Keep us this bullcrap, Hugo, and we’ll invade your pissant country and seize the oil fields.

Mess with the bull, don’t complain when you get the horns.

[Rushmore Rocks]

If true, this is quite frightening.

[cripplecreek]

Woo hoo keep these borders open.

Venezuelans of Arab ancestry are being recruited under the auspices of Tarek el Ayssami, Venezuela's vice-Minister of the Interior, for combat training in Hezbollah camps in South Lebanon.

Tarek el Ayssami, Venezuela's vice-Minister of the Interior...that pretty much says it all.

[ZX12R]

So far, this amounts to Hugo Chavez conducting a pretend war with the U.S. Not exactly scary.

Hezbollah as a strategic arm of Iran

Hugo Chavez conducting a pretend war with the U.S. Not exactly scary

In 1983 Hezbollah killed 241 members of our Armed Forces in Lebanon, mostly Marines but also Navy and Army personnel. Hezbollah is not pretending.

If this is true, then it is grounds for a formal declaration of war against Venezuela. Since the snivelers in Congress would never exhibit the huevos to do that, Pres. Bush should use whatever executive branch shenanigans he wants to come down on Chavez. After all, Bush said we would hold any country harboring terrorists or abetting terrorism accountable. Well, let's do it.

Wow! I didn't realize that Chavez was responsible for that. Thanks for the clarification.

“Keep us this bullcrap, Hugo, and we’ll invade your pissant country and seize the oil fields.”

Hugo hasn’t been much concern to President Bush. I wonder which President you’re referring to?

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

Wow! I didn't realize that Chavez was responsible for that. Thanks for the clarification.

The point of the article is that Chavez is now recruiting for the guys who were responsible for that.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

This should be funny. Remember what happened when Che Guevara’s relatives went to Tehran to talk about defeating “evil America”?

As far as the Iranian radicals were concerned, they expected the Guevarans to all convert to Islam. The communists had other ideas, once that America was overthrown, then foolish and primitive religions would be abolished and everyone would be communists.

The Guevarans were then promptly asked to leave, and did.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Well, I wasn’t referring to a future President Obama, that’s for sure....Hugo and Barry are two peas in the same pod.

Chavez seems hell bent on acquiring nuclear weapons, too.
I hoping President George W. Bush is working behind the scenes to undermine Chavez, because Chavez is certainly working overtime to undermine the U.S.A.
