I came here just to see if anyone else was talking about it. I saw something about it yesterday afternoon just as I was leaving for my son's football practice. When I got back I didn't see anything being widely reported, although it looks like he's said inshallah before:

I find Chavez' statements as well as the Thai Coup rather disturbing.

From your link:

Chávez pronounced. "I would say today: 'God, throw the lightning bolts at the monsters.' Inshallah ."

This entire week has been particularly disturbing.

I don't know much about Thailand and the coup, have been too busy so far to read up on what it means.

I would be interested in hearing the audio. I didn't see the "inshallah" on very many websites yesterday... mostly smaller news outlets. It is worth noting that "Ojala" means god willing in Spanish, and sounds pretty similar. If indeed he did say Inshallah... I would think there is meaning behind it.
