#1 If the US says 'black', this guy says 'white'.

#2 Will they return the Defender SAM system?
No, i suppose they'll hand them to Syria and Iran to research...

#3 He's stupid and contrary - we should declare an Embargo on his Oil to the US, resulting in him smuggling the stuff into our country to defy us.

#5 I think his embassador may have some difficulties returning to Israel after this thing is over.

We have a long memory and a problem with bigots.

#9 Serious question on Oldcat's proposal. Wasn't it discussed here some time ago about how Chavez was in between a rock and a hard place? By that, I mean, aren't basically only refineries in the US able to handle Venezuelan oil (not to mention that he'd loose a big market if he actually quit sending us oil and he's used to the "high life" now). I know that Citgo is state owned (even the refineries in the US), but I can't even fathom Chavez trying to invade Louisiana if we just seized said refineries, and he'd be out of biz quickly, right? Or are there other refineries elsewhere that can handle Venezuela's crude?

#10 BA, they are out there (provided that modifications take place), but not a large refining capacity.

I'd facilitate Hugo's shooting his own feet, if I had any say.

#11 I can't imagine there is excess refinary capacity anywhere at the moment, BA. It's been mentioned here several times recently that the crude ships are steaming in circles because there isn't even room to unload the stuff.
