Would someone like to enlighten me as to how Chavez supposedly 'exports terrorism,? Because of all the negative things I've heard about Chavez, that has to be a new one.

More on the FARC-Chavez Connection
By Jonathan Winer

New materials released to the Associated Press and a Spanish newspaper reinforce earlier information showing ongoing operational cooperation between Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Colombia's FARC guerrillas.

Documents reviewed by AP provided by Colombia from the computers seized by Colomba in the March 1 cross-border raid on FARC that killed Raul Reyes were described by AP as detailing years of close cooperation between top officials in Venezuela's government and military and FARC, including the construction of rebel training facilities on Venezuelan soil.

According to AP, the documents suggested that Chavez was preparing to loan the rebels at least $250 million to provide them with Russian weapons and possibly help them obtain surface-to-air missiles for use against Colombian military aircraft.

AP described the documents as framing "a joint strategic project between Venezuela and the Colombian rebels, with Venezuela even seeking rebel training in "asymmetrical warfare" in preparation for a feared U.S. invasion."

Meanwhile, on May 10, a Spanish newspaper reported that documents from the Raul Reyes computers seized by Colombia in the March 1 cross-border raid included an e-mail from FARC leader Ivan Marquez that Venezuelan head of state Chavez had discussed providing weapons to FARC with Belarus.

According to the Madrid newspaper, El Pais, a partially coded message mentioned a person the newspaper identified as Victor Sheiman, secretary of the Belarus Security Council and a close associate of Alexander Lukashenko, the hardline president of the former Soviet republic, as having discussed the provision of weapons with Chavez.

A cesspool calls the kettle black and that's supposed to be an insult?
Tell Hugo the ignorant can learn, but you just can't fix stupid.

Chavez is a socialist punk and should be dealt with accordingly... Of course Harry Belafontaine will be upset...

[MacDonaill]

It isn't illegal to be a socialist. He's an elected Head of State, and if he were a capitalist funding anti-socialist rebel groups in other countries, he and the Yanks would be the best of friends.

The US government are hypocrites. Obama obviously has no intention of changing that.

Where do you start when you count the groups that the US has sponsored?

Bin Laden, Saddam, the Taliban, Contras, Sandinistas...

And it is no secret that they help train the Colombian army.

So when you say Chavez supports FARC (even though he has asked them to surrender) I say I would do the same thing if I were him and the Yanks were sponsoring his neighbours' armies.

Hopefully Obama will change things so Chavez doesn't need to be so parinoid all the time.

You forgot to mention how we wiped out all the Indians too!

FARC is recognized as a terrorist organization by the United States, Canada, and the European Union.

Therefore, Chavez sponsors terror.

Case rested.

.. but that's ok because it's for the liberation of the people..

Let's check the list..
Muzzel opposition: Check
Leader for life: Check
Nationalize everything: Check
Export Terrorism : Check
Invite "Fraternal aid": Check
Lock down the media: Check
Lock down the borders: Check

We've seen it all before yet the left still believes that this will be the true diamond in the pile of shit. Another communist hell hole, here we come.

I don't understand Chavez. I thought he liked BHO.

[QBall]

Wow, is there a bridge that Chavez hasn't burned and then peed on the ashes? With oil prices down from their record highs I can only imagine Venezuela's economy must be tanking right about now. Wonder how long before the people put up with his BS.

I know! Chavez hated Bush! He can't hate Barry too!!!

[Zipperfish]

I thought the US supported FARC? Or was that the Sandanistas. Hard to keep track. "One man's terrorist..."

Chavez has shown autocratic leanings of late, and I think his hatred of the US interferes with his ability to lead the country. I mean, he's got a right to be pissed since the US tried to have him overthrown, but that was years ago. Move on.

Bullshit. Care to back up that statement with some facts?
