#1 Whoa, lol! Birds of a feather and all that. Has Chavez visited, yet? Castro?

Sounds like a valid TFA* litmus test:
Have you been to tea with the Mad Mullahs, yet?

* TFA = Total Fucking Asshole

#2 Maybe he can sell passports or visas? I imagine lots of jihadis would like one of those.

#3 .com,
Mugabe has already been to Venezuela where Chavez decorated him with the Liberator Order (Sword and everything).

#4 Anon4724 - Well there we have it! Two bona-fide card-carrying UN Member States recognizing Whack-a-Bob. I guess that means he's a swell guy. Of course, while in Iran, they made him ride in the trunk - being a Kufr and black and all.

Got a spiffy sword, huh? And a medal - so that's where those come from! I've always wondered where these tinhorn Dictators who've never been on a battlefield got all those spiffy medals. They give them to each other! *slaps forehead* Friggin ingenious!

A4724, I cannot express to you how disgusted and disappointed I am with what has happened over the last 6 months in Venezuela. Where Carter contributed is especially appalling and offensive to me. I fear that Venezuela is "lost" for some years - maybe decades. There is only one answer, of course, and the time is almost past for that: bloody revolution. If the armed forces will support it, it could still happen, but it would've been so much easier 6 months ago. Sigh.

#5 .com,

You are absolutely right! The Opposition greatly underestimated Chavez and thought that Carter (spit) could save the day. We are not counting on the Venezuelan Army to do anything since he has been buying them off for almost 6 years now.
One way to hurt him and his "revolution" is to starve him of the money he gets from oil exports, especially to this country. If the US could find an alternate source, he will have to sell it to China or Europe at a much cheaper price. Venezuela oil is high in sulfur and it is always at least $4 dollars cheaper than Saudi oil. That combined with transportation charges will greatly reduce the price per barril and a lot of his social programs (read handouts) would come to an end. It is then that his supporters will rise up against him. There is a very narrow window of opportunity for the latter to happen and that window is closing fast.
