Let's do be realistic. realistically, Chavez is a threat force. Realistically, he is unlikely to attack the continental United States or serve as the launching pad for a third-party nation state attack on the United States. Realistically, he is likely willing to serve as the launching pad for a third-party non nation state attack on the United States.
Really he is? Uhhh please share how your backing up these claims....
He did it to Colombia.
Wait he invaded Colombia?

We weren't talking about him invading. In fact, we were SPECIFICALLY NOT talking about that.
That's exactly what he did to Colombia. He provided shelter and support for a terrorist group that launched kidnap and kill operations into Colombia. Spare me the "venezuelanalysis.com", I'm not clicking on goofy websites. I know enough history to understand what FARC is and what Chavez did with them.
So you dont like factual information and analysis?
Venezuela: A Threat to Washington?
By Eva Golinger - Postcards from the Revolution , Jul 21st
Venezuela is not a threat to US security. Venezuela is an example of how a rising people, facing the most difficult obstacles and the brutal force of empire, can build a model where social justice reigns, and human prosperity is cherished above economic wealth.
So reporting on events in Venezuela is a "propaganda machine"? I mean if its propaganda to report on how the Chavez government is kicking out FARC bases in his country, and helping rescue hostages held with FARC, speaking out against their tactics, and that the OAS Secretary General stated that their is no connection between FARC and Venezuela... I mean if that is "propaganda and BS" then whatever. Stay that narrow minded.No, I don't like BS media that feeds propaganda to commie-wannabes. And that's probably what your cited website is, seeing as it has a stupid name and is focused entirely on Venezuela.

You call that factual information and analysis? Whatever, dude.
Its in the opinion section bud...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venezuelanalysis.comVenezuelanalysis.com is described in several newspapers as "pro-Chávez";[1][3][10] other sources say it is "left-leaning".[1][11] Wilpert, a founder and editor, describes the website as "mostly pro-Chavez";
Yes, he may not go directly to war with us, but he supports other regimes and governments that are hostile to our national security interests. He is an indirect threat.
It is EVERY humans duty to act within their conscience ...
So you dont think its a reliable outlet because of the websites layout? :roll:That was the homepage. A featured article. No dude, take that weak sauce elsewhere.
Apparently you only no one very narrow side... And refuse to see the other side.I know what FARC has done, and I know about Chavez's involvement with them in the 90s and 00s.
:roll:Your source is crap and will not be respected. Unless you got something other than a flat-out propaganda website, we're done. Here's their "About Us" page. Every one of them's a stinkin' commie. And the first paragraph is repeated, how amateur.

Ok. Any proof?They claim a yearly budget of only $10k (that's not a whole lot of room for analysis). Any guesses who runs the "Fundación para la Justicia Económica Global" (the parent organization)? Ten bucks says it's the Chavez regime.
So basically you wont even look at it because of 1.)the layout of the website and 2.)the about us section.THAT's what you consider "factual information and analysis"? wow
Hey dude, do you object to people using Fox News? 'Cause that would be freakin' hilarious.

So answer me this, are you caliming the links i provided are "lies"?

cpwill;I've dealt with actual factual information and actual analysis on the topic of Chavez and his extracurricular activities. Trust me on this one said:I can only think a brain transplant went awry. Links? "Trust me." That is the favorite quotation of used car salesmen. Chavez's job is to take care of Venezuelans. He's Nationalized some foreign Corporations and their assets. That's good for Venezuelans. He has marginalized the power of the wealthy 1% in Venezuela. That's good for Venezuelans and we should do it in this Country. He knows he is threatened by the radical right wing USA nutjobs and you can prove that to yourself by reading this thread. You really have to compare Chavez to the world's most prolific peddlers of chaos, mayhem, and death, as in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, much of Latin America, etc., etc., etc., Don't you think?

That is the same reasoning that people use to invade another nation.
Depends entirely on the situation. For example no one has really said anything against the US invading France during WW2. Most of the complaints were that we were late to the party.Are you saying it's a bad thing to invade another country?
