Chavez Warns U.S. Against Invading
or Could somebody pass the bug spray?
from The Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela - President Hugo Chavez on Sunday vowed to freeze oil exports to the United States and wage a "100-year war" if Washington ever tried to invade Venezuela.
The United States has repeatedly denied ever trying to overthrow Chavez, but the leftist leader accuses Washington of being behind a failed 2002 coup and of funding opposition groups seeking a recall referendum on his presidency.
Chavez accused the United States of ousting former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and warned Washington not to "even think about trying something similar in Venezuela."
Venezuela, a 100-year war? A war with Venezuela would last all of 20 minutes. This ranks Chavezs up there with Kim Jong-Il in terms of mental instability.
