Chavez has his own private War
Chavez just gets better and better: Chavez Predicts Resistence War With US
Among the more colorful comments and information: "President Hugo Chavez urged soldiers on Sunday to prepare for a guerrilla-style war against the United States, saying that Washington is using psychological and economic warfare as part of an unconventional campaign aimed at derailing his government. Dressing in olive green fatigues and a red beret, Chavez spoke inside Tiuna Fort _ Venezuela's military nerve-center _ before hundreds of uniformed soldiers standing alongside armored vehicles and tanks decorated with banners reading: "Fatherland, Socialism, or Death! We will triumph!" "We must continue developing the resistance war, that's the anti-imperialist weapon. We must think and prepare for the resistance war everyday," said Chavez, who has repeatedly warned that American soldiers could invade Venezuela to seize control of the South American nation's immense oil reserves. " And this diamond in the rough: "Under Chavez, Venezuela has recently purchased some $3 billion worth of arms from Russia, including 53 military helicopters, 100,000 Kalashnikov rifles, 24 SU-30 Sukhoi fighter jets. Last week, Chavez said he is considering arms purchases, including submarines and a missile-equipped air defense system, as he prepares for a tour of Russia, Belarus and Iran. " Got to hand it to man, carpe diem. -Zeno

Re: Chavez has his own private War
Venezuela is the perfect example of the failures of socialism. Every step along the way from good shortages to super high inflation to blaming agitators and capitalists to arming for a fight to devolving into a big horrible armed dictatorship has been accurately predicted by all sensible free market advocates. It has become a giant orly owl staring into the face of any and all who say that socialism can become anything other than violent dictatorship.
