Bush-Cheney move to declare Venezuela a terror state
Bush-Cheney are now moving to put Venezuela on the State Department’s list of terror-sponsoring states.
The notion is that the FARC (the Colombian rebels) are terrorists, and that Venezuela in various ways is supporting them.
Rep. Connie Mack of Florida, one of the most loyal servants of wealth in Congress, is at this very moment reading his letter on the floor of the House encouraging the White House to make the move.
Thus, it does seem more likely that Columbia’s attack last week in Ecuador may be the first move in a war on Venezuela in which the US will be acting through Columbia. And an indication of how crazy and violent the last months of Bush-Cheney may be.
The prospect of Venezuela’s oil flow being disrupted has crude hitting another all time high today, over $109 a barrel.
Here in Florida yesterday I paid $3.29 a gallon for gas.
Fascists tend to live in fame and go down in flames, and to take their nations with them.
ed says:
Bush, following up in a rather transparent way, is urging Congress to pass a free trade treaty with Columbia.
Again it seems clear that the events of the past week signal deeper involvement by the US in the Columbian civil war, with the likely intent to use it to bring new pressure to bear on Venezuela.
