Chavez: US using anti-drug flights to spy on Venezuela
2008-05-22
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez accused the United States of using anti-drug flights in the Caribbean to spy on Venezuela. Chavez claimed that a US Navy plane that flew into Venezuelan airspace during an anti-drug mission last week was actually involved in reconnaissance. "They are spying," Chavez said during a speech on Wednesday.

The Venezuelan president warned Washington that he would dispatch fighter jets the next time a US military plane violates Venezuelan airspace.

The United States said it was taking steps to make sure its planes don't stray into Venezuelan airspace again.

#10  Looking rationally at it, I really think he should worry more about the chemtrails left by those so-called "anti-drug" flights, that's how they're gonna get him, by altering his DNA.

#7  I like it! Two operations for the price of one! Does that mean the US government has finally found out how to multi-task?

#6  The Venezuelan president warned Washington that he would dispatch fighter jets the next time a US military plane violates Venezuelan airspace.

Does this mean that they don't normally have fighter jets at-the-ready to intercept/inspect foreign military planes in their air space?

#1  I think that if Chavez believes this he should formally declare war on the United States. That'll teach us.
