Bush to "contain" Chavez
Chavez is a terrorist , Chaves is a terrorist. Lets kill him now.
Geez Louise, you would think they would realize that pushing Chavez is a good way of losing influence in all of South America given the rise of left throughout the region. Any leftist government would want Chavez in power and being his Loud and abnoxious self because it provides them with cover. Push him and most of South America will back him. Nutbars, not an ounce of political acumen amoungst them.

FINANCIAL TIMES - Senior US administration officials are working on a policy to "contain" Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president, and what they allege is his drive to "subvert" Latin America's least stable states. A strategy aimed at fencing in the government of the world's fifth-largest oil exporter is being prepared at the request of President George W. Bush and Condoleezza Rice, secretary of state, senior US officials say. The move signals a renewed interest by the administration in a region that has been relatively neglected in recent years.
Mr Chavez, whose government has enjoyed bumper export revenues during his six years in office thanks to high oil prices, has denied that he is aiding insurgent groups in countries such as Bolivia, Colombia and Peru. But a tougher stance from the US appears to be in the offing, a move that is likely to worsen strained bilateral relations. . .
Mr Chavez has threatened to suspend oil shipments to the US if it attempts to oust him. He and Fidel Castro, the Cuban president, have alleged, without offering proof, that the Bush administration was plotting to assassinate the Venezuelan leader, an allegation that US officials have dismissed as "wild."
