.. probably boosting his popularity at home

---

In AP's eyes maybe.. there's that 'probably' word again.

Hugo was and is a tyrannical little thug who needs a long dirt nap next to Fidel and Che.

You forgot to mention Allende.

Amazing how a tyrant like Chavez gets so much sympathy from MSM.
I guess it's not hard to understand considering the list of "friends" of the Clinton's who commit suicide by shooting themselves several times in the back of the head, or suddenly get run over, have their airplanes crash, propellers fall off, etc etc.

iAt the least,t still was poor tactics verging on total stupidity for Robertson to call for assassination.

[Nathan Zachary]

"He signed a deal with Jamaica on Tuesday night that is to be one of many across the Caribbean, pledging Venezuelan oil at special rates and allowing the island to pay through goods and services as well as low-interest loans."

Isn't Chavez signed on to international agreements which prevent him from undercutting other oil producers? I do believe he must follow international prices. I guess he want's to be the next Saddam. I'll bet money that France is knocking at his door as well.

My condolences to the good people of Venezuela, it's going to be a downhill slide for the foreseeable future, sadly.

America deserves a Pat on his back.

Hugo was and is a tyrannical little thug who needs a long dirt nap next to Fidel and Che.

Unfortunately, he is brown-skinned and building schools and roads in poor areas. He will be hard to bring down, and the latest dumb move by Robertson didn't help matters.

[TigersEye]

Pat is a dork for saying it out loud but I agree with him. He just needs to consider the wisdom of SSS in matters like this.

On the other hand; anyone other than the USA that would like to take out Chavez has a nice opportunity to do it right now and let the US take the blame for it. Just a thought.

[FierceDraka]

Chavez is a self-proclaimed enemy of the US, even though we have done nothing to provoke him but exist as a convenient scapegoat.

Chavez is getting 70 percent approval ratings from the Venezuelan people.

Therefore, not only Chevez, but 70% of Venezuelans are ALSO our enemy.

To hell with diplomacy - NUKE THE THIRD WORLD!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

A call for the U.S. to assassinate Hugo Chavez is playing into the Venezuelan leader's political hands, bolstering his claim that Washington wants to kill him, putting him in the international limelight and probably boosting his popularity at home.

Hugo Chavez - Venezuela

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Cuban President Fidel Castro speak with the media minutes before Chavez left for Jamaica at Jose Marti international airport in Havana, Cuba, on Tuesday Aug. 23, 2005. Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson has suggested Monday that American agents assassinate Chavez to stop his country from becoming "a launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism."
