CARACAS, Venezuela -- Hugo Chavez wants to join the nuclear energy club and is looking to Russia for help in getting started.

The Venezuelan leader is already dismissing critics' concerns over his nuclear ambitions, offering assurances his aims are peaceful and that Venezuela will simply be following in the footsteps of other South American nations using nuclear energy.

I wonder what would be thought of the US helping Poland and Hungary build nuclear programmes - for peaceful purposes, of course.

Hugo Chavez wants to join the nuclear energy club

With what dude? Thanks to your socialistic policies... everyone in Venezuela is poor now... it's so bad that your country has to actually IMPORT coffee!!

Now it is making some sense why Brazil is buying jet fighter planes... Brazil is one of the success stories in South America and I'm absolutely sure Chavez is looking for ways to annex Brazil for the oil money... Anschluss?

Chavez: Nothing Will Stop Venezuela Going Nuclear

Hey, Chavez. One way you could go nuclear is for us to send a tactical nuke up your butt. You think Barry O is going to be commander in chief forever?

I'm thinking “Yes, it is all about oil!.

Fly an American flag from Caracas and be done with it . . .

Our March on Washington is similar to the millions who have turned out against Chavez in Venezuela.

Hugo - you may be in power now but one day your people are going to Caucescau (sp) you!

One day Americans are going to clean out our Congress and our Presidency.

But in neither case will the struggles or the effort be easy.
