Chavez calls for anti-US alliance
Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez has called on other Latin American and Caribbean countries to form a military alliance against the United States.
Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez has called on other Latin American and Caribbean countries to form a military alliance against the United States.

Mr Chavez has some key allies in his fight against capitalism, globalisation and the US.
Bolivia, Cuba, Nicaragua and now the Caribbean island of Dominica are all members of a trade alliance known as the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas, a group that takes its name from South America's independence leader, Simon Bolivar.
Mr Chavez has urged them to draw up a joint defense policy and create a united military force against US imperialism.

"If the US threatens one of us, it threatens all of us," he said, "we will respond as one."

I like the guy! He is strong as bull and smart like streetcar!:lol: Mr. Bush better not mess with him!
I think he has a good plan, good sense and good reason for it, too.

Well you have to admit he found his first corner of a second axis of evil right here in Bushco. And like a war on terrorism, he's going to get some support for it. Chalk it up to having a politician capitalize on the stupid mistakes of another.

Does anyone else suspect there's a few bucks out there for the man who puts a bullet in Chavez?

His issue must be personal safety because the chances of the US starting a war in Latin America right now is next to nothing.

Oh I'm sure the tag is probably pricier for Osama.... does that mean there isn't one for Chavez too though?

That's a very stupid thing to say about someone who cares about the poor and diadvantaged and has put his life on the line for the common good of mankind. You have no shame and no clue about what Hugo Chavez is or represents. I would be honoured to stand in front of him and take your bullet in his place him and you would kiss the boots of pigs. You have finally disgusted me.

I never said I'd want to see him shot... I said I suspect there are many who would like to see it.

Each new large leap he takes makes me think he's an even bigger danger to the way some people do business.

And he is dangerous, but not to the rank and file of the common man, but to the capitalist masters of the world, the source of all the war and misery. But here's the problem if they snuff him, he becomes an even greater icon for change, alive or dead, they cannot win against him because he is a good and honest person. I only wish Canada had a leader like that. I'm so tired of hearing him derided by people who would have done the same to Ghandi. I apologize if I insulted you Karrie, I spoke to soon, a reflex action, I should not have spoken out of anger. peace:-|

Nah, Hugh's on the downslide, so he needs enemies. Its bluster so there's no need to pop him.

Hugh and W have more in common than one might think.

Well said. He has already lost a huge election so he needs to blab on and on. Useless threats. It's like a youth hockey team threatening an NHL team.

"If the Maple Leafs come to our pond we will form a super hockey team to take them on... They will rue the day!" :lol:

I beg your pardon Eagle. Chavez didn't lose an election. He narrowly lost a referendum that would have given him the right to run for president more than the two term limit. No big deal.

That comment wasn't nearly as dumb as stating Chavez is a great man.

He's a meglomanical blowhard, like all political hacks, no matter the stripe.

And he is dangerous, but not to the rank and file of the common man, but to the capitalist masters of the world, the source of all the war and misery.

BS, Ghandi's only fault was his love of cows.

Chavez loves only himself and his well intentioned acts are nothing more then him riding the stupidity that is the US's weakest administration.

All hacks scrample to exploit what they see as fodder, Chavez is no different.

No surprise you'ld see it like that...

No he lost a referendum that would have essentially given his pen the power of the Gov't.

If he is such a wonderful humanitarian, why did his own people not support him?

Because they see through him like all free thinkers do.
