i have no love what-so-ever for the jackal, but to criticize chavez for siding with that guy while the US harbors confessed terrorist, luis posada carriles, is a bit hipocritical.

weird how this article doesn't mention that the US planted seven bases in colombia

No doubt the seven bases’ purpose is to destabilize and ultimately to launch attacks to leftist countries in the area. My theory is that what the US is trying to avoid further cementation of UNASUR which is trying to become a sort of confederation of nations much like US’s federal government.
