CARACAS, Venezuela - President Hugo Chavez on Sunday ordered thousands of troops to the border with Colombia after Colombia's military killed a top rebel leader.



Chavez told his defense minister: "Move 10 battalions for me to the border with Colombia, immediately." He also ordered the Venezuelan Embassy in Colombia closed and said all embassy personnel would be withdrawn.



The announcements by Venezuela's leftist leader pushed relations to their tensest point of his nine-year presidency, and Chavez warned that Colombia could spark a war in South America.

Yeh with rupert and the clinton files its pretty hard for anyone to deny we are on both sides at the same time and I will add played against the public.

politicians and the cia bring it in and we go to jail if we get caught using it what a deal eh?

the race to NAFTA, and "free trade"  -invites even more "goods" to come in.   and the more potent component, the market economy "demands" these "goods" for its consumption.

The feds unleashed crack in inner city LA....  if I recall correctly to fund some contra  or was it the san danistas?   whatever- to fund a civil war that we   "wanted" so as to build         ''empire"

The urgent part of this is mobs of felons  are soon to be released from prison.

After 8 years in the slammer - I doubt they learned to be emily dickens miss manners.

so watch out.   the sky is falling....

Status: offline 		Please, dont get me started on this. I lived in venezuela for 3 years I have family and friends there. My Fiance was(died) in the Navy there. Our little girl lives there with her grandmother. I still fight to try to get here here with me.  The country is beautiful, the people very nice , But the goverment is corrupt. Chavez is an Ass hole!! He is as bad as Fidel Castro. Trust me I spent many a day sitting watching him on TV in a hawaiin shirt sipping a mai tai he's an idiot. You dont know the county untill you actually live there among the people.

Status: offline 		VampCristina there are a few things I know. One is that when someone says "Don't get me started" many times it is because it is a sore spot for them. Maybe you should get it off your chest.

I never got the anti Chavez attitude, nor Castro. What the news tells me and all this could be total bullshit.

Not too long ago I was disappointed with Chavez for refusing to relicinse a TV station, but then I heard what they did. If a TV station in this country did it, they would not have a license either.

It may seem ironic to you, but I do not believe any of their bullshit. If you believe their bullshit you might believe that before we invaded Iraq there was nothing but military bases training Al Quaeda and missiles with nukes pointed straight at us and Israel. Then when we get there, damn where did all these hospitals and schools come from ? Yeah right. I accept nothing they say.

But I would accept the words of a human person. Someone as you said who has lived there. While the neocon's and media's words are always jaded with their slant, you have no vested interest in lying. Your slant on it would be there, but that is understandable. But you have no reason to be dishonest, they do.

I am always wondering, when somebody is trying to convince me of something, why are they trying to convince me of something?

The next question that comes to mind is what does the other side think?

We all have a lot to learn, pahunk. And I don't wish ill on anyone either (well, not many). Hell, I don't even wish Chavez to "keel over"..... I'd much prefer the people of his country vote him out, and for him to go, peacefully.
 
I definitley don't want war down there.... Columbia is considered our ally, so if Chavez invaded.....

Status: offline 		Consider the chess moves here, and who are the friends of Chavez, and who are the friends of those friends. Just perhaps there are ulterior motives at work here.

Interesting that he would label his advisary as the Israel of the region. Imagine his actual motives there.

Until this man (Chavez) finds his way into retirement he will be a destabilizing force in this part of the world.
