Be interesting to see what kind of power struggle shows up.

Venezuela’s vice president called in the nation’s top leaders Tuesday hours after ailing President Hugo Chavez apparently took a turn for the worse, and announced on national television that a U.S. embassy attaché was being expelled for meeting with military officers and planning to destabilize the country.

Please, we're pros at destabilizing countries. We wouldn't be so careless as to have a official embassy official meet directly with local military officers.

The US as more than likely quite involved in the 2002 attempoted coup in Venezuela, and that failed. It wouldn't surprise me if they're active down there now as well.

Well, of course they are.

Castro's buddies too.

I imagine the Chinese are busy seeing what kind of support they can garner as well.

And Vlado may be on the phone in the morning.



Which group of evil bastards would you like to have pulling strings ?

It's a crap shoot since they're all pretty much equal.

The VP of Venezuela ousted some US diplomats and is accusing the USA of poisoning Chavez. Which, if true, makes me a tad happier with Obama.

Somewhere Sean Penn, Michael Moore, and Oliver Stone are weeping over the tragic loss of one of their best buddies. Awwwwww.....

Maybe, but their win/loss record at string pulling is not very good.
