My Dear Gringo
There´s another guy who gets an A in unintentional comedy, and this time it´s not Tyson - it´s Venezuela´s increasingly irritating President, Hugo Chavez. Socialist revolutionary or not, like that itch from Spring Break, he just won´t go away. A celebrity politician if there ever was one, Chavez comes off as a B-grade Hollywood actor, desperate for headlines and fame, and willing to get them both at any cost. Though, Chavez is as paranoid as he is funny, and he´s currently making serious preparations for war, claiming almost daily now that the U.S. is ready to invade Venezuela, the world´s 4th largest oil exporter. Wartime preparations apparently include the modern practice of having indigenous tribes shoot poison-arrow darts as advancing soldiers, and according to this recent article by the Associated Press, Chavez is quoted as commenting:
¨If (the Indians) had to take a good shot at any invader, you’d be done for in 30 seconds, my dear gringo.”
There you have it.
While Chavez may or may not be right about U.S. plans to invade Venezuela, what´s for damnnn sure is that the U.S. does have a solid warplan for invading a place much closer to home - a little place called Canada. Read all about “Joint Army and Navy Basic War Plan — Red.¨
