#1 The poor thing has made such a fool out of himself that sometimes is hard not to feel sorry for him.
Now since the invasion a la Iraq style does not seem to be happening fast enough, his supporters are coming up with more outrageous but entertaining conspiracy theories:

Assemblywoman Iris Varela Accuses CIA of Plotting to Kill US Military Personnel Stationed in Venezuela
From Cadena Global
Caracas, 26 April 2005 | Iris Varela, Member of the National Assembly, representing the ruling MVR party, made allegations that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was behind a plan to assassinate US military officers who are working in Venezuela as part of an existing military accord between the two countries, with the intention of justifying a climate of âpolitical destabilizationâ in Venezuela.

âThe information made available to us was that they were preparing an assassination plot against US military officers, so as to fulfill that prophecy made by the director of the CIA that 2005 was going to be a year of political instability for Venezuela" stated Varela.

The assemblywoman thus lent support to what was said this Sunday by President Hugo ChÃ¡vez, who assured that this sort of actions could very likely be carried out in order to tarnish bilateral relations and justify armed intervention in the country.

She also gave support to the presidentâs decision to put an end to the military accord with the United States, and suggested that US military personnel be on the lookout, âbecause from within the CIA laboratories could very well emerge assassination plots against them, and we have the information; we have the proof.â

#2 Lol, TMH - that's a scream!

Blockhead Varela, poor impressionable thing, has watched waay too many Hollyweird movies. No. there won't be any US agents killing US Military in order to create political instability in Venezuela. Chavez is already doing far better than our poor resources there could do.

I suggest that the Venezuelan people start a grassroots campaign to convert their military to overthrow the fool - while they can. It appears, from here, that the military isn't very solid behind this clown. If they can be swayed, and they don't need the fat-assed Generals, coups are the specialty of Colonels, and the people take to the streets in a coordinated effort they can save themselves 2 or more generations of civil strife and economic disaster. No telling how many lives will be lost under his bootheel. Far better to spend such precious capital removing him.

This is in the hands of the Venezuelan people.
