Caracas, Venezuela (CNN) -- A day after officials announced the cancer diagnosis of Argentina's president, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez wondered Wednesday if the United States could be infecting the region's leaders with the illness.
Five current or former Latin American presidents have battled cancer in the past few years, including Chavez himself, who claims to have beaten an unspecified cancer.
Chavez prefaced his remarks at a military event in Caracas by saying, "I don't want to make any reckless accusations," but the Venezuelan president said he was concerned by something he finds "very, very, very strange."
"Would it be strange if (the United States) had developed a technology to induce cancer, and for no one to know it?" he asked.
Chavez cited the revelation this year that the United States, between 1946 and 1948, had carried out human experiments in Guatemala where subjects were exposed to sexually transmitted diseases.
That was 50 years ago, Chavez said. Will it be discovered 50 years from now that the United States was infecting presidents with cancer, he posited?
"I don't know. I'm just putting the thought out there," Chavez said.
The Venezuelan president, who has a firm anti-U.S. stance, frequently hurls accusations at his political enemies, domestic and foreign. He has repeatedly said the United States is trying to destabilize his government.

BTW, who is the brunette staring at Chavez in the first pic?
Cheers!
That’s Argentina’s president Fernandez
And the Cigars from Cuba and Cocaine from South America is improving every ones health ? They just do not make humans any dumber then leftists leaders.
Dear Chavez, God has given you cancer. Why ? Because you violated one of his commandments. Thou shall not steal.
Wouldn’t it be a lot easier to give him lead poisoning?
Very interesting........Thanks !
I would vote for him over FLIP SLICK WILLARD RINO ROMNEY.
Alright I did it but we will all have to take the blame.
If only we had a CIA that devoted to human rights...
My differential diagnosis is that being a communist kleptocrat does not confer immunity from cancer.
(Either that, or it’s not the C.I.A. It’s the G.O D.)
Sure, Hugo, but it wasn’t cancer. A Rick Perry operative stuck a Gardasil filled needle in your buttocks and gave you mental retardation.
Well if the O admin is behind Hugo’s cancer it could be the only decent thing they have ever done.
I heard drinking a gallon of bleach will cure cancer Chavez give it a try!
What he really needs is a couple rounds from a peace maker.
So,where was Chavez 50 years ago— was he in Guatemala? Answer: hell, no. More idiotic ramblings from a limited intellect commie strongman dictator— another noriega. The dope dealing, and most likely using could have caused your problems, Hugo.
As for the Argentinian female president— the incidence of thyroid cancer is extremely high IN ALL FEMALES regardless of their racial background— why— because of the impact of a far more complex hormonal system under pituitary control. Chavez is so smart maybe he should try a basic medical school text— they have those in Venezuela despite all efforts to eradicate intelligence and learning.
What does he have? Brain Cancer?
Too bad we’re not
” but the Venezuelan president said he was concerned by something he finds “very, very, very strange.”
Remember that sulfer smell when you followed GW Bush to the podium?
Is Chavez a US hating lunatic? It appears so, considering he is trying to blame his health problems on capitalism.
