    Venezuela's Chavez says U.S. ambassador must leave in 72 hours

    Boy oh boy

    CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- President Hugo Chavez ordered the U.S. ambassador to leave Venezuela within 72 hours on Thursday, accusing the diplomat of conspiring against his government and saying he would also withdraw his own envoy from Washington immediately.

    Chavez made the move in solidarity with Bolivia after his Andean ally expelled the U.S. diplomat there, accusing him of aiding violent protests. He said a new American ambassador will not be welcome in Caracas "until there's a U.S. government that respects the people of Latin America," suggesting that diplomatic relations will be scaled back until President Bush leaves the White House.

    ----

    "That's enough ... from you, Yankees," Chavez said, using an expletive. Waving his fists in the air, he added: "I hold the government of the United States responsible for being behind all the conspiracies against our nations!"

    "Conspiracy" implies there's somebody else involved. We are going to kick Hugo Chavez's ass without anybody's help.

      We need to redirect the 8,000 troops leaving Iraq here.

      Maybe we could even get some oil out of the venture this time.

      This little piss-ant tyrant should thank his lucky stars we don't have a lot of "available resources" right now.

      Chavez is the classic example of "short man's syndrome."

      He's 5'7", he's at the bar, he's had way too many drinks, and he's yapping at the 6'5" guy across the room because he doesn't like the way he's looking at his girlfriend.

      What a little putz.

          Redirect one Predator with one Hellfire. We'll take one shot. If he doesn't get killed, he might wake the fuck up. Worked on Qaddafi.

            That comes later.

            In the meantime, I want to see those aerial shots from the Air Force, with the crosshairs, when the missile goes in, and all you see is an explosion and a trailing puff of smoke. That's the fate that Chavez's presidential residence deserves.

            He's a two-bit punk.

                      The people of Venezuela hate Chavez, by the way, in case any of you pathetic, liberal Bush Haters want to champion his cause.

                      Say it with me.

                      Unfortunately, we've got about as much chance of an overthrow as Cuba had in the '60s.

                        Wouldn't it be a bummer to live in a country where the leader was universally loathed but there was no way to get rid of him?

                          I detest Chavez but I don't think your completely accurate about his popularity. About half the population hates him and half loves him.

                            Imagine how bad it would be if 60%-70% hated him.
