Repubs dont like chavez because he is standing up to
Bush''s Shoeshine boy, alvaro Uribe.....

No Rick wrong again.

"They sneak into our country because of our illegal immigration problem that has yet to be resolved, we don''''t willingly welcome them."

With his CIA contacts it is no wonder the judge refused to extradite him.

On September 28, 2005 a U.S. immigration judge ruled that Posada cannot be deported because he faced the threat of torture in Venezuela. The Venezuelan government reacted angrily to the ruling, accusing the US of having a "double standard in its so-called war on terrorism".

I don''t hate America, but I look for the truth no matter who it hurts. You cannot have it both ways, either blowing up a plane is a terrorsit act or it is not.

This guy is living safely in the U.S. and Bush refused to extradite him. That is a double standard and it is not acceptable. Further more starting wars and lying (department of disinformation) to protect corporations is also not acceptable. This is what this administration has been doing for the last 7 years.

Is it just me or does Chavez look like Jerry Mathers (aka the Beaver) with a nice tan?

[killtheliars]

singinrick,

So if you harbor terrorists you deserve to be attacked right?

Well then I guess Cuba has a right to attack us here in the U.S.
"Terrorist Cuban Exile Luis Posada Carriles Seeking Political Asylum in U.S.

A chief terrorist with long ties to US intelligence agencies is seeking asylum in the United States. The FBI has evidence linking him to an airline bombing that killed 73 people. We%u2019re talking about the notorious militant Cuban exile: Luis Posada Carriles.
Posada has been connected to the 1976 downing of a civilian airliner that killed 73 passengers%u2013the first act of airline terrorism in the Western hemisphere. He has also been linked to a series of 1997 bombings of hotels, restaurants, and discotheques in Havana that killed an Italian tourist; as well as a plot to assassinate Castro five years ago. He has been jailed in Venezuela and Panama. He was last seen in Honduras. Earlier this month he was said to have slipped into Miami. His newly-retained attorney has now requested asylum for him. In response, Venezuela%u2019s Supreme Court ruled that the government should seek his extradition from the United States to face terrorism charges."

Hhhuuummmm, lets see the leading product exported to the U.S. from Venezuala is oil, the leading product exported from Columbia to the U.S. is coffee, oh no that right it is not coffee it is cocaine, yet we hate Venezuala but like Columbia.
Also it is bad when FARC traffics drugs to the U.S. but it is ok when the C.I.A. (we all remeber the Iran Contra thing where the CIA was traffic coke inot the U.S.) does it is is ok.
Makes alot of sense doesn''t it.

[notblue]

sounds like the true proof of war crimes were found on the captured laptop. Chavez is just another thug dictator who''s end will be just as typical.

[starkx6-2009]

jh6379,
Thank you for the clarification. Your definition speaks volumes about your feelings. How have these "neocons" wronged you? This is an open forum. All are invited to give inputs.

[beehive21-2009]

You people are illogical.hugo has learned from the Iranians rattle the sword = higher oil prices.So ,who is putting him up to it ? Texchev ? they made 44 bill and our pres, has not even enacted a tariff on the windfall $$$ all other pres prior have ? Prices will go down once the oil co leaves the presidency.World tension shall follow.

[starkx6-2009]

jh6379,
What is your definition of a neocon?

[lorinkundert]

Let''s put this in the right perspective, Venezuela is financing the terrorists, Ecuador is providing the terrorists a safe haven.

Looks pretty clear who the criminals are to me.

[jwind11]

Come on man, look at the facts, not the media spin!

hwy71, you don''t get it, the libs on here don''t care about facts, they care about spinning everything to make bush look bad, it makes them feel better about their pathetic lot in life. facts don''t have anything to do with anything to them. I am not making this up, some of these loser libs actually bad mouthed bush on the story about clemens and steroids. just an fyi.

[hwy71so]

"...that doesn''''t agree with us.

Posted by RowdyTexan2 at 08:26 AM : Mar 06, 2008"

You really don''t know anything about Iraq, do you? There was MORE than disagreement there. How many times do you have to be reminded that Saddam murdered his own people? How many times that Saddam violated UN directives? Do some research on how Saddam handled the Kurds. No WMDs? Did Saddam not invade a smaller, weaker country merely to add it to his acerage and oil production? And look what he did to the oil wells when he was pushed back.

Come on man, look at the facts, not the media spin!

I''m fully convinced that if HW Bush or Clinton would have pursued Hussein earlier, that the twin towers would still be standing. It is because of all the backing down we did leading up to 9/11 that gave the Al Qaeda the confidence that they could pull it off. And, they did. And when they did Saddam sang his praises of their actions.

Just like now in Columbia. If you stand by and allow terrorist factions a free rein, they WILL gain confidence and they WILL grow and press even harder against the door. Nip it in the bud!

[rowdytexan2]

We should really do the world a favor and do away with the maniac Chavez. He''''s a cancer that needs eradication. Enough of this dumb loser.

Oh yeah, just like we did Saddam. We should just go blow up every other world leader that doesn''t agree with us.

Good luck with that!

[joyous88]

rebertkjjj-, are you talking about the first bush or the second bush,

I am quessing that you mean GW Bush, war criminal

[joyous88]

war criminal? joining the ranks of GW Bush and the republicans thats all.

[keithle1]

Keep Canada & USA. Get rid of every country south of us. Of course if we did that who would pick our tomatoes, clean our offices & babysit our brats?

YOU?

[zootallures2]

So much for theatening drug dealers to invest in US and A. Maybe the FARC don''t want to invest in a Tom Delay/Indian Casino type deal.

[libsrweak]

hurry it up..IF YOU WANT WAR..START THE WAR...RAISE THE PRICE OF OIL..SO EVEN THE STAUNCHEST LIBERAL SUPPORTER WOULD GET PISSSED OFF..

maybe by then they would stop driving thier cards to a ''no war for oil'' protest

''Colombia''s U.S.-supported military''

Do we even have any spare soldiers to send down there to bail out this drug producing friend?

Not to worry. The most that will probably come out of all this bluster is $150 a barrel oil.

[singingrick]

We bought the tanks and guns that Chavez now uses to threaten his neighbors. We funded Al Qaeda, Hamas, Iran in all their terrorist activities.

How?

By buying their oil.

It''s time we moved away from oil and developed the sustainable energy technologies that are already available to us now.
