"These are heavy oils that not every refinery in the world can process, so the company could not immediately find buyers on the world market, not even by dropping its prices. Quite simply, most of the refineries could do nothing with Venezuelan oil without first modifying their machinery and facilities, a process which could take an average of one or two years.

...you idiots down there sold your souls to Chavez (and did it so cheaply.)

I’m sorry, but you’re stuck with him. If he has to call out the military to maintain his power, I think he’ll do it.

So pay your taxes and smile.

When the king of Spain suggested to him that he shut up, Chavez was exposed before the world as a blowhard. It was a loss of face that started the freefall of popularity.
