LOL

#2 I think Chavez does need us... how many other places are equipped to process the sludge they produce in Venezuela?

#3 "leaders of Russia, Iran and Venezuela were gloating gleefully that the financial crisis would depose the United States as the world's leading power."
When you buy gasoline, remember that LUKOIL is the largest oil company in Russia.

#4 Already Mr. Chavez has stiffed Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega, to whom he had promised a $4 billion oil refinery.

Clearly, Nicaragua won't be able to, Grenter.

#5 A few years back, an American oil company sold its last remaining refinery for Venezuelan crude to the Venezuelans - that refinery is in the Caribbean. Outside the US, only the Venezuelans and that refinery in the Caribbean are setup to refine the sludge that Chavez exports. The refinery in Nicaragua was supposed to increase the refinery base for Chavez.

#7 Not owned anymore by the US? Only way for Chavez to export?

Hmm. open and close a few of the right valves repeatedly until the pipes rupture, toss in a flare...
