Comments on: Chavez Calls Bush 'The Devil'

In U.N. Speech Accusing U.S. Of Pillaging The World

[tomflint69]

archiloque, according to you Mr. Chavez is a fair person who is with courage to speak and tell to the people accross the world, about the real terrorist and de**l.
May be you are right and may be not. Different people are with different views and thinking. To me, it is the first ever experience to see some president openly disgracing some another president in U.N session. That disgraced president was not a president of some unknown country but of United States of America!
It seems to be new & awsome.

[archiloque]

you write this article as though you don4t really believe that bush is the devil...obviously the man who brought down your towers , murdering 3000 of your own citizens was certainly not chavez....!
why is it that you continuously call hugo chavez- chavez and dumbsh+t bush..mr!?
you are all just waiting for bush t to steal the next election too...then you could call him god!
you will probably have to!
Mr chavez is a good man that knows how to read...the same cannot be said about bush t.

The reason we have the greatest military in the world is to keep these dictators at bay.The reason these dictators can say whatever they want about our president is because they have just visited the greatest country in the world.

rzdave, bush was the one who 'picked the fight' with Venezuela by overthrowing their duly elected leader during one of his 'regime changes'.

The media is hiding the source of the bad blood with Venezuela.

And who coined the phrase 'axis of evil'?
Americans can hold their own with the name calling.

'Devil' is a joke; since no such thing exists. LOL
And you would be surprised what evil can be done within two years of office.

LLehman3, I agree but this will work in case of Chavez, not for his brother Ahmedinejad.
Do you know how much we'll have to pay for oil if we go against Iran by waging a war?
100$/barrel (according to Mr. Bolton) or even more if the war will be prolonged.

[bratskie]

my family would be willing to sacrifice the .15cent or whatever....let's see what chavez has to say about Our In God We Trust!!

[tbromley0002]

I agree, the United Nations needs to be off of American soil!
As far as Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez, just send him back from where he came from & tell him he is no longer welcome in our country! If anybody is the devil, it is him! Jack ***!!!!!!!

[llehman3]

I'd be happy to spend 15 cents per gallon for as long as it takes for Mr. Chavez to find out how he can manage his country's budget without our business.

[dchampio-2009]

Well old Chavesson showed his true nature, first of all I really believe that the United Nations should Be moved off American Land Most likely place would be say France, This would completely desolve all american involment in the rest of the worlds petty *** in which all they can do is blame us for their own misgivings and complete lack of brainpower to manage their countries. Second Start a nationwide boycott of the citgo corporation which is owned by Chaves' cronies. They Hate us but love our money. Kick their Butts out of this country, We have enough Oil without having to Kiss up to some communist sympathizer.

Thank Dave

BychanceIII, I love the eloquent way you write but I disagree. I think both the left and right or Dem and Rep. however, you want to put it, have a distinct importance in the political arena. They've been stereotyped like crazy by the media, that can't seem to come up with any innovative ideas, but really both parties are vital to our way of life.

I think Pres Bush was correct when he said that whoever said he is trying to start a war with Muslims is trying to confuse the public.

What are we offered by Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez in exchange for his comments ?

The above article states: The leftist leader, who has joined Iran and Cuba in opposing U.S. influence, accused Washington of "domination, exploitation and pillage of peoples of the world."

"We appeal to the people of the United States and the world to halt this threat, which is like a sword hanging over our head," he said.

I ask, compared to WHAT from Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez ?

I wonder what Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez smells of if Bush smells like sulpher of the devil?

What comfort and healing does Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez have to offer my family and the country in which I live?

Article states: Ambassador John Bolton told The Associated Press that Chavez had the right to express his opinion, adding it was

"too bad the people of Venezuela don't have free speech."

I dont understand these "leaders of other countries". They know full well that Pres. Bush has only 2 more years in office and then his term in office is in the history books. So why does Chavez have to take up a fight with Americans? The difference is that unlike Chavez who is trying to force a constitutional change in Venezuela which limits presidents to similar term limits, which in essence would end his presidency now in December, Chavez wants to change the Venezuelan constitution so that he can remain in power... hmmm sounds like a dictator in the making now doesnt it? Who is the real devil here? What makes the US such a great nation is that no single man or woman for that matter can stay on past 8 years in the presidency, so, people like Chavez that enjoy bashing a great country like the US, forget to mention this one very important fact that separates true democracies from false ones, like the one that currently exists in Venezuela. Chavez is just another power hungry Castro wanna be with oil money in his pocket.

The Fallacy of Right vs. Left:
Its is not my intention to attack or vilify, but after reading the comments of ShutupMurtha, I have to say that his views represent a large population that is disillusioned by the divisive powers that be. Intoxicated by non-stop media news that works 24 hours a day dividing ideologies between the right and left forgetting that there also exists a citizenry that subscribes to neither. This mechanism (in the grand scheme) serves no purpose but to throw noise into how we perceive not just others but ourselves as a nation.

The Left considered tree huggers, indecisive, willing to give anybody a chance regardless of the competency.

The Right are intolerant of others that are not like minded. Debate includes chastising anyone with an opposing view and serves more to solidify loyalties.

In the end, we cannot seem to come together and elect strong moral leaders. Perhaps this is by design.

[thegreatkate]

I never said you did. But you did bring it up and I simply responded. No need to cry about it.

[tomflint69]

I have nothing to do with how and what Muslims do! and when they cried in pope case, they were all united not like our leaders, EU with its own policies, US with separate intensions and Chavez with his own.

[thegreatkate]

You enjoy the friendship with the US when you benefit from our money, jobs, and protection. "Hee heeeeee"

[tomflint69]

Today I was discussing the matter with a few of my collegues at office and they all were laughing and making fun of Mr. Bush of how Chavez did to him in U.N. heee heeeee.
We enjoy friendship with U.S but our public not necessarily like Americans. May be Mr. Blair has a few "soft corners" for them. lol....

[tomflint69]

Muslim rulers are better since they never fight on international forums like Chavez insulted his highness, Mr.Bush.
am I right? I haven't heard of any Muslim ruler blaming another in U.N! so at least one good thing is found in Muslims that our leaders lack???? hmmmn ????

[tomflint69]

let Chavez say Bush Devil because Chavez is a younger brother of Bush. He knows better than us since we nothing know abcd of presidency.
long live 2 brothers.

ShutupMurtha:

To my knowledge the current administration used Iraqs procurement of uranium
from Niger as a pretext for going to war, under the assumption that Iraq was
building/stockpiling nuclear weapons.

They were not in fact procuring uranium from Niger. And no weapons of mass
destruction, to date, have been found in Iraq.

He (Bush) did not use the argument 'Iraq has used chemical weapons on his own people
in the PAST' as the pretext for going to war.


Also, the administration has conceded as much:

Yesterday, Bush used the clearest language to date nailing the question shut.
"Iraq did not have the weapons that our intelligence believed were there," he said,
his words placing the blame on U.S. intelligence agencies.


I don't see any 'conspiracy' in that.
