Columbia had better stay on Barack's good side. All I am gonna say.

badsey they are not on the border with venezuela
foxie, that is very easy to explain, colombia is the major source of cocaine for the US. They produce the majority of the worlds cocaine. Does lebanon have as big of a illegal drug market? how about siberia? I don't think so plus lebanon would have to give permission to the US to set up a base and with hezbollah in the government they would never approve.

Right. The media turned him into a dictator who is running his country into the ground.

Chavez hasn't said that for nothing. All these presences because of drug concerns are a bit fishy. Why then is there no such base in Lebanon or in Siberia for instance?

-seems they are setting this up now and the Federal Reserve controlled media is painting Chavez as the bad guy. (of course little media attention on the build-up)
Wheneven there is a huge contraction of the money supply (depression) the Fed is usually taking money out to do something. =Going after assets.
Iran (oil+money) is the other target of opportunity right now.

If war does break out it will be like watching two kids with giant boxing gloves. Both hitting each other but everyone laughing.....Chavez is a joke.....

the U.S. Needs to stop the saber-rattling and war-mongering by getting rid of these military installations on Venezuela's borders.
Venezuela is an easier conquest than Iran though. (Even though the Federal Reserve has Iran pinched between Afghanistan and Iraq.

It seems that Chavez is delusional compounded with paranoia. Seems it could be onset schizophrenia.

Good luck with your war.

Chavez must be really bored now that Bush is gone.

He is so funny! Every the Venezuelans are hungry and fed up with their own government, this clown, Chavez, has the bright idea of "warning" his people that war with Colombia etc..is just around the corner. Keep crying wolf you pendejo comunista!

Lunatic resorting to the age old tactic of warmongering to quell domestic discontent
