Monroe Doctrine and Manifest Destiny.

Make Venezuela the 51st (or is that 58th) state.

No wait, if we do that, the gov’t won’t let us drill.

No matter how much wealth the country has, socialists will still find that it is not sufficient for their purposes.

Terrific, just what that lunatic needs - an endless supply of wealth to fund his army. It's Fidel Castro with means. Can you imagine?

That's exactly what liberals in their infinite stupidity couldn't understand about the threat Sadaam posed.

"Venezuela’s oil is high sulpher crap that is very hard to refine."

Yep, and it's as thick as peanut butter. The only decent technology to get that goo was US technology and the moron (Chavez, ie not Obama this time) just ripped off all the American companies.

Before the Chinese do. I suppose that explains their greater interest in the area.

His government will simply take over the remaining wells and tankers and run them into the ground.

That’s what he’s done with his stolen assets to date. I don’t see that changing.

Communists eventually tear down their countries so much that they must be evicted for any progress to happen.

Give me a ticket to Caracas and an M-14 and I’ll gladly take care of the problem.

“Time for a US friendly gov’t in Venezuela.”

We could use a U.S. friendly government in the U.S. first.
