#1 I thought Hugo had uranium in Venezuela. And why Iran when Brazil has plenty also? Has Hugo alienated Lula already?

#5 '"Hugo Chavez has been clearly talking to Iran about uranium," said a senior administration official, who asked not to be named.'

In a related story an anonymous official said Chavez, in his spare time, enjoys tormenting small animals with a fork.

#6 Hugo: We know the Sov AK buy went badly, but let us recommend a few Chinese Xinhou-60 aircraft. Don't forget to sign the spares agreement, it's only a few bolivars more. Check with Bob Mugabe a well known, Xinhou satisfied customer.

#8 So what's up with the deal with Russia supplying Venezuela with refurbished AKs instead of new ones? What did Russia have in mind? I would imagine that the Purchase Order said new ones, give 'em new ones. A 100K units is still a nice order, so why try to piss off your customer? This makes no sense.

#9 What are they going to do, buy American?

And Doc, yes, Hugo has alienated Lula. His puppet in Bolivia basically rewrote the contracts for Petrobras so they couldn't affford to extract natural gas from the deposits around Santa Cruz anymore.

I don't know what Lula was expecting from Chavez. Then again, I don't know what Chavez was expecting from Putin.

Isn't the modern left wonderful to watch from a distance? (Like, say, Saturn?)
