Hugo Chavez exposes the Dutch lap dogs of the war-mad Americans
Yet to the truly loony--or ideologically blinded--this fool is a hero. How can a major European publication print this with a straight face?
Chavez Says Holland Plans to Help US Invade Venezuela
...Holland and the Caribbean Sea are linked by their colonial past. And it's a past which continues to spawn political conflict even today. With animosity between Venezuela's left-wing Chavez government and the United States of President George W. Bush high, the Venezualan president is accusing the Netherlands of allowing the US to construct military bases on the Antilles islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao -- which are formally part of the Netherlands and separated from the Venezuelan coast by only 40 kilometers of ocean. Speaking in "Aló Presidente [video, #251]," the weekly television program he uses to addresses the nation, Chavez suggested the US may want to use the Antilles Islands to invade Venezuela.
Chavez has been claiming for some time that the Bush Administration is planning an invasion of Venezuela "We have detected with intelligence reports plans of a supposed invasion," Chavez said in a BBC interview last October, calling the Bush administration "an imperialist government."
Speaking on "Aló Presidente" last week, Chavez accused Dutch Defense Minister Henk Kamp of having transformed himself into a "Washington stooge [just as in Afstan, one supposes]." In fact, the Netherlands are hosting an annual international military manoeuvre on the three islands, the "Joint Caribbean Lion 2006," at the end of May. The manoeuvre involves the deployment of roughly 4,000 soldiers and the US Navy is deploying a number of warships, including the USS George Washington...
Oy veh. Kind of reminds one of the dearly-departed Quebec tabloid, Allô Police.
