Ahhh, meddling for thee but not for me. Glad they got caught out and failed.

I've been wondering a long time, why is it that the US always meddle in other people's business ? If Venezuelans want to live in a communism and they're happy, just let them be! Why does the US have to trade embargo/sanction them, so they become really poor ? Is it because socialism makes people happy ? and the plutocrats are afraid that people would find out ?

sounds like a lone ranger project gone bad. Lack of planning for starts.

Follow the oil. Or gas. Or their shipment routes.

Yes, the CIA would never attempt something like this. They are the good guys, right?

IMO, special forces are sometimes overrated. You cant do a battalion level raid that requires recon, supporting fires and other assets with a SEAL or green beret 6 man team.
Army Ranger or USMC infantry unit is more realistic.

Because we know that deep down inside, everyone wants American style democracy and capitalism. (Sarcasm.)
