"A blogger living near Palo Negro -military air base- reported F-16s taking off."

WTF, Over?

Umm. Pardon me for stating the obvious but F-16's taking off is not indicative of anything.

We don't need to worry about this. Jimmah Carter will observe these elections and declare them democratic and fair and all will be fine /sarcasm/

It was just a strange inclusion in the report. It just seems that it is implied that they may be getting deployed for a *cough-cough* ground attack mission.

(I hear F-16's all the time myself, as I live near a ANG base.)

That's pretty much a given in a communist country.

Hopefully, we're kidnapping the F-16s.

Interesting. I read in the Spanish press that Hugo's deal for the military aircraft from Spain caused a fair amount of turmoil in VZ because it was a no-bid contract and furthermore, it was not submitted to the legislature, as is apparently required in VZ law.

Chavez is becoming very blatant in sidestepping the political structure, and I wonder if people are getting a bit uneasy about this.

My neighbor is Venezuelan with dual citizenship. He visited his father recently and required an armed guard while in the country. I was relieved he was able to return. He won't talk about conditions or politics except to say that they are messed up.

Not enough background in the article.

The author forgot to tell the reader who the left wing morons are (which parties) and whom to cheer for.

What MIGHT be happening? That is what blogs are for.

Background please.
