Any Chavez Fans Out There?

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez on Sunday accused the United States of using the earthquake in Haiti as a pretext to occupy the devastated Caribbean country and offered to send fuel from his OPEC nation.

"I read that 3,000 soldiers are arriving, Marines armed as if they were going to war. There is not a shortage of guns there, my God. Doctors, medicine, fuel, field hospitals, that's what the United States should send," Chavez said on his weekly television show. "They are occupying Haiti undercover."

Are there any people who take this man seriously?

France seems to agree with him. Or least their Government Minister does. I wonder if that says more about France or Chavez.

I would think the French are quite pissed off at the moment:

Chavez orders takeover of French hypermarket chain

President Hugo Chavez on Sunday ordered the expropriation of a French-owned hypermarket chain that operates close to a dozen stores in Venezuela, accusing it of price speculation following the country's currency devaluation.

Chavez said his government would seize control of the Exito hypermarket chain, majority owned by France-based Casino Guichard Perrachon SA, after lawmakers approve legislation allowing the expropriation of businesses that have raised prices inordinately

Sadly, there are. Until his country starts coughing up for aid to any and every nation in the world that happens to be in crisis in comparable amounts to the United States, I won't be one of those people, though.

Yeah...we are occupying Haiti because of the vast oil supplies that they have.

What's that? You say they don't have oil???

Hmmm...do they have banana? Cuz maybe that's why we are occupying them.

Suntan oil, possibly.

It would seem you do, since you have your drawers in a wad over it and posted it here.....

You are like all those people over the years who gave Castro a voice, when the issue could have been settled years ago.

What Chavez said is silly and stupid and wrong and anyone with good sense knows that, doesn't take it seriously....

WTF are you worried about, that the Polish or the Austrians will notice what he says?

ALL that matters in this situation is that WE (in The US of A) are doing all we possibly can to do what is morally and ethically right. WHAT can Chavez ever say that puts a crimp in that! Unless, of course, for YOU personally, he hit a nerve!
 
Yes xotoxi It must be for the bananas. Or because our military doesn't have anywhere else to go. Don't they have a Club Med there? Or had.

I think the US is doing the best job they can. I'm getting tired of the criticism - from everyone.


Couldn't agree more. Seems to me if others think we are doing a crappy job or are taking over the whole recue operation then I' m all for some other country taking over.

Any takers??? Hugo?? Where the fuck are you with your big mouth. You and Venzuela can run the whole show.

Hugo Chavez?? Visions of grandeur. A legend in his own small mind. Ain't worth the powder to blow him to hell. Comic Relief.
