Chavez is 1/10 the evil Bush is and proves it continuously. Bush hates Chavez because he doesn't pander to the Bush interventionist policies of the world.
Imo fvck the wannabee dictator Bush, and fvck 7/11 - I'll never shop there again.
Bush might be a wannabe dictator, but Chavez IS a dictator. Get a clue.
And about your linked article, if Bush led the 2002 revolt, and if it was a right-wing movement, then why did the left-wing CTV (Confederation of Workers of Venezuela) labor union start it by calling for a 2-day general strike and marching on the headquarters of PDVSA? Why did the Venezuelan National Guard, under Chavez's orders) fire on the unarmed CTV demonstrators? Why did Chavez then take control of the Venezuelan media for 3 days to suppress that information? Why did the Commander of the Venezuelan Armed Forces, Lucas Rincón Romero, announce that Chavez had voluntarily resigned? After Chavez regained the presidency 2 days later, why did he then reappoint Rincón, the man who supposedly betrayed him to Carmona, as Commander of the Army and then make him the Interior Minister in 2003?
Yeah, it don't fsckin' add up, now does it?
There's no question about Bush ties including funding, tactical support, and the blessing that Washington would receive the new government. The only question remains is about your reading comprehension where you gathered from the article he "led" it.
The message is clear to the Bush admin, quit meddling with others' government. Apparently you don't like how Chavez handled the coup attempt against him, for that I provide an e-tissue, but does not change the facts.
Chavez, democratically elected, has been far from evil by any stretch of the imagination. This government doesn't like his socialist policies because its not as profitabe and secure for our interests, so we demonize him...for that I offer another e-tissue.
There was a coup because he's a dictator. Not much of a democracy if you have a gun pointed at your head (metaphorically) while you're voting :roll:
