What the hell is going on?!?! Has anyone else read about this or seen it, yet? How much stock can we put in it? How can we even have enough troops?!? http://start.earthlink.net/article/int?guid=20050917/432b94c0_3ca6_15526200509171570321206
They entered Venezuelan territory and took control of an island in Venezuela? Very interesting. More info? Many are recruited from third world countries. First the US starve them out, then they recruit them.
6th largest oil producer in the world - got to keep those gas prices down or the drones will start giving us trouble - could happen
The U.S. doesn't start wars in South American countries..... They send in special ops teams who train a group of mercinaries or revolutionaries on how to overthrow the government, and they once a revolution or coup d'etate has started they bring in a puppet dictator/president. This has been going on for years.
On a similar note, the US Ambassador to Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzad, has predicted that the US will soon enter Syria. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2005/09/18/us-ambassador-to-iraq-pre_n_7516.html
Noriega used to be a buddy of the U.S. until he turned on it. Much the same for Saddam. What nice guys to be supporting. .
if you think that america is in Iraq because of peak oil Venezuela would be a good future target as would be west africa .
I doubt that we'd ever get involved in Africa, after Somalia and Rwanda the United States doesn't like to get involved on that continent. As for venezuela, we don't have the money or resources to launch any type of significant invasion at this point.
This is just Chavez scaremongering his own population to rally round the flag. Funny how people can't imagine that happening abroad, oh no...
It work for Castro in the last 40+ years Chavez took notice. Also same thing here with the Drug Wars so actually we are not much smarter.
a war on anything will unite ppl like that.. but i agree with somethingwitty in that i'd think a coup or "revolution" would be started through the natives, rather than an invasion by a foreign country. it's so much more effective.
It reminds me of Bush's remark at his state of the union about Saddam and the giant mushroom cloud rising over the U.S. Nothing like spouting off remarks about an enemy that's supposedly trying to invade to conjure up patriotism and support for an administration. .
