They still are writing the rules. Do you think Venezuela has a chance against Exxon?

Big Oil: 1, Banana Republic: 0.

"ConocoPhillips and Exxon Mobil balked at the government''s tougher terms and have been in compensation talks with PDVSA."

These guys are too used to writing their own rules.

Chavez is the idiot here, his country is losing out on millions of dollars by not selling to exxon mobil and just sitting on the oil. And as for cutting off the US completely, he obiviously does not realize that many US refineries refine his oil before going on to sell it to other countries because they don''t have the ability to refine Venezuelian oil due to its high sulfur content. So he''s just *** himself over as much as us.

Regardless of Exxon enjoying the largest profits of any company in history, how long do you think it will take Bush to help them out with these losses with our tax dollars?

Let''s play by Hugo''s rules then, we will not pay for any trade imbalance with Venezuela and keep all of their assets that are in US banks.
