With all the protests and dislike for Bush there and here, I wonder if he’ll make it out alive.
Or maybe Bush is scoping the area for this:
The Pentagon has begun contingency planning for potential military conflict with Venezuela as part of a broad post-Iraq evaluation of strategic threats to the United States.
The planning has been precipitated by general and specific directives issued by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and his civilian policy assistants.
Internal documents associated with the 2005 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) and preparation of the fiscal year 2008-2013 future defense plan identify five specific “threat” countries in three groups requiring “full-spectrum” planning.
The first group includes North Korea and Iran, both justified for their involvement in the development of weapons of mass destruction. China is listed as a “growing peer competitor” and threat of tomorrow. Syria and Venezuela are listed as “rogue nations.”
Bush is like a wild ping pong ball. I’m not quite sure where he’s headed.
Rosee, I wouldn’t put it past them, since george is a virtual lame duck at this point – he’s already outlived his usefulness. An attack on our prez would have been a convenient excuse for us to invade South America. But whatever they had planned is slipping out of reach now.
TomPaine.com has got a nice chart of the Dick and Don Cabal that illustrates the entire conspiratorial web that is about to collapse around them.
I posted that cabal chart in a diary here a few days ago.
Thanks for the link to the chart. We could have used ones like that during Watergate and Iran/Contra.
Some thoughts on invading Venezuela – I can’t imagine them being that stupid; it’s even more stupid than invading Iraq, by an order of magnitude (which probably means it will happen, with this bunch):
Talk about cutting off your foot for a minor itch!
Since, according to Rummy, we won’t ever leave Iraq, even with a democrat in office,it is highly unlikely they will ever start in on Venezuela. By the time they get around to it his ideas will have spread to all the other Latin countries not to mention Africa and it will be too late.
Comparing Chavez to that unelected prince Asad is just outrageous. If they ever to get around to it, the alt press will uncover that like they did WMD.
The other good news is that Cheney, Rummy most of the founding neocons and their Cuban friends, will most certainly be dead by the time they get the opportunity.
