You'll have to turn in your communist party membership card now.

Can't wait for the TB "I told you so" as if it's any big news to us.

Tom, just so you know. We've all been saying that this guy is a creep and a thug. Where we differ is that Chavez is Venezuela's problem and not an issue our military and CIA need to get into the middle of.

Where else we differ is that even a broken clock is right twice a day and from time to time Chavez has stumbled onto the truth and spit it out publicly such as pointing out the idiocy and hypocrisy of Bush foreign policy. A confident nation is not afraid to acknowledge truth no matter what the source.

Bullies always get what's coming to them eventually and the people of Venezuela will deal with this guy or he'll have to change. Any interference from us merely puts off that inevitability by empowering him with the radicals. Better to just treat him as a buffoon full of hot air.
