Comments on: Chavez A "Barking Dog That Doesn't Bite"?

Analysis: War Rhetoric Between Venezuela, Colombia Worrying, But Likely Just Words

[yongamerica]

One thing that can''t be hidden behind rhetoric: Chavez has no business getting involved in a dispute between Columbia and Ecuador. This is a boarder matter between these two countries only, and does not concern Venezuela.

By getting involved his action confirms what is long suspected, that Chavez as a Guerrilla commander fighting in his country, was in alliance with FARC then and still is now.

As i recall, Chavez was re-elected by the people of Venezuela. I don''t recall any ''international observers'' complaining about the democratic process at the time.
You should try reading from other sources, not just the CIA factbook.
Classic CIA tactics...cause trouble with the ally of the target, then blame ''terrorists'' from the target country. Your current foreign secretary has tried the very same thing in the middle east.
Get educated...don''t believe your own propoganda!!

[barbarossa_t]

Current concerns include: a weakening of democratic institutions, political polarization, a politicized military, drug-related violence along the Mexican border, increasing internal drug consumption, overdependence on the petroleum industry with its price fluctuations, and irresponsible mining operations that are endangering the rain forest and indigenous peoples. This could be an analysis of the USA..but...
This is an extract from the ''Info on Venezuela'' on this web-site. Who writes the info?? The C.I.A. that''s who!! No wonder you Yanks haven''t a scooby to whats REALLY happening in the world!
The eagle-eyed among you will notice that i''ve sustituted Mexico for Columbia.

Barbarossa_1,

I doubt that the CIA used mind control techniques to cause Chavez to move troops to the Colombian border to threaten Colombia(a democracy which international observers recognize as a Democracy, not like Venezuela).

When the military commander of a nation masses his troops at the border of a neighbor because they killed a gueriila fighter based in a third country who was attacking their country they aren''t doing it because they were in any way provoked.

We should be sending the closest battle group we have steaming to the coast of Colombia to show our solidarity with the Colombian people, our allies. If fighting does break out we should provide our ally with surveillance capability and offshore air cover but otherwise remain out of combat.

Chavez gives money, training and logistics support to FARC terrorists while taking away every human right of his people but, no one Democrat alive is complaining about it. IRAN gives the same to Terrorists in IRAQ and world wide, and yet, as usual, all you read here is the Bush hating Democrats blaming America. The Terrorists can always depend on IRAN, AL Qaeda and Democrats to come up with excuses for their genocide. And this is the "NEW Change for America that Saddam Hussein OBAMA, Hitlery and The Democrats promise us".

Typical Nazi! Where did you get your training? It''s classic Fascism at it''s best folks. This bootlicker takes great pain in putting out every bit of propaganda against Chavez to make SURE everyone reading it will hate the man as much as possible. THEN he links him to those in THIS nation who do not support the "Party". Well done bootlicker! I''m sure they''ll have a Iron Cross for you at the next Klan Rally!! Sieg Heil Bush! Sieg Heil Grand Wizard! ROFLMAO Dumb as a box of rocks! ROFLMAO

As usual, we detect the black hand of US foreign policy behind all this. ''Military advisors''...CIA. Damning evidence on a ''captured'' laptop...we''ve seen it all before. The media in the US drip-feed this rubbish to a
largely pig-ignorant population, who actually believe it!!
Seems that democracy doesn''t count if the US dislikes the elected represetatives.
No wonder the USA is hated across the world!

How sad that there are people who would rather stand behind this 2 bit dictator then stand with their US leaders. I don''t give a *** if our president doesn''t play fair with this guy. I don''t care if he doesn''t play fair to get oil because this man would and does not play fair either. F'' him. His own people will rise up and do away with him before long and then you can blame that on Bush too. Maybe by then you''ll have to find someone else to blame because Bush won''t be in office much longer. Will you all become silent then? Some how I bet you''ll find someone else to complain about.

[ourplanet]

sure, we have to protect the drugs coming out Colombia.
How do you think Afghanistan has taken the first place in exporting Drugs."Since the fall of the Taliban, Afghanistan''s drug production has increased tenfold" according UN and News media this is a fact. the only growth that has been documented in Afghanistan.
Thanks to bush and his republican criminals.

The barking dog who nips at the heels and then runs off is a good analogy but I prefer to think of him as a gnat who constantly wipes his feet in *** and then lands on someone''s dinner.

Bush, "A biting dog that doesn''t bark."

"Colombia has become a formidable foe, thanks in large part to $5 billion in aid from Washington since 2000. U.S. military advisers are sprinkled throughout Colombia''s military,"


Gotta protect the drugs coming out of colombia.

[andrew_693]

so. the bush administration is trying to prepare the ground for another military adventure. I guess getting their ar ses kicked in iraq wasn''t enough.

[johngoodnews]

Venezuela is the fourth largest importer of oil to the US behind Canada, Saudi Arabia and Mexico. It''s not hard to connect the policy dots: lax immigration policy (carrot) with Mexico and demonization of Chavez in Venezuela while arming its neighbor Colombia (stick), and kowtowing to Saudi Arabia''s (Bush''s buddies) request to take out its feared enemy, Saddam Hussein''s Iraq. Reality really sucks. And it''s going to suck more if the price of gas in the US gets much higher and the currency devalues even further against the Euro.

[irliberal]

Chavez is a barking dog, a mere distraction from the real issues that face the united states. He is best ignored - while we turn our attention to electing a new leader that is not saddled with the corruption and ignorance our current administration carries.
