Here's what Jack Wheeler had to say about this back 2/8/08:

"Close to home is a third war on the horizon, between Venezuela and Colombia.

Chavez's rule and the Venezuelan economy are disintegrating. The time honored solution of dictators when they are in trouble is war with a foreign devil. There is no way he can coax his favorite devil into war with him - America, whom he revels in taunting and insulting. To his bottomless frustration, all he gets from us is a smirk and a shrug.

So he picks a proxy, our ally of Colombia run by a successful popular pro-US president, Alvaro Uribe. Chavez has tried to damage Uribe by supporting the narco-communist guerrillas of FARC, which at one time ruled an area within Colombia the size of Switzerland.

Thanks to Uribe, FARC is now on the ropes, and the Colombian people have shrugged off their fear of FARC. This Monday (2/4), millions of Colombians all over the country demonstrated against FARC and its atrocities against them. Chavez condemned the demos as a "march of hate and racism." Chavez has spent billions on Russian weapons from Soviet MiG fighters to hundreds of thousands of AK-47 Kalashnikovs. With FARC failing and the US refusing his bait, he is going to create some excuse for invading Colombia. He can't wait until some Dem weenie is in the White House a year from now. Which means we'll be sending the Marines into Colombia to kick Chavez's commie butt at Uribe's urgent request.

Pray that Cheney can convince Bush to have them chase Chavez all the way to Caracas and rid Venezuela of his pestilence. There would be a ticker-tape rose petal parade for the Marines in downtown Caracas if they did."
