#16  The thing is Hugo has no party or seccession. A coup that started with a bullet into Hugo would succeed as long as the assassin was killed or unknown so others could be blamed.

#14  " there's little doubt of CIA involvement as it's always part of this kind of dirty business."

What's truly unfortunate is that they so seldom succeed...

#12  I concur with those who think that Fat Loud Mouth Hugo will still be blasting away with his Bocca until he is assassinated or dies of natural causes.

The Soviets taught the Cubans how to build up a State apparatus that protects any Thug in Chief while neutralizing all internal threats and the Cubans have passed this black art along to Hugo.

#7  Despite all that is said, Chavez is still an American-hating idiot. His downfall is coming.

#6  First generation thugs like Hugo don't go down once ensconced with the means to have their watch dogs in place. As long as he and his mafia have 'true believers' to carry out the directives to maintain order, only outside intervention can bring them down. All else is wishful thinking. Hope is not a strategy.

Nevermind the entire post was Chavista pap for the weak-minded gringo press.

#3  good to keep Hugo paranoid and repeated purges of the military will lead to a hierarchy of loyal, but incompetent buffoons, like himself.

#2  Chavez has that place locked up tighter than Castro. No coups, wishful thinking.
