Venezuela demands US explanation over alleged assassination plot
Venezuela’s left wing president has demanded that Barack Obama explain his role in an alleged plot to assassinate him.



Nicolas Maduro called on the American president to explain what he knew of the alleged assassination plan.

President Maduro said that besides Colombia, it was hatched by far-right Venezuelan opposition figures in Miami. The Venezuelan president is a frequent and fiery critic of Washington, as was his predecessor, the late Hugo Chavez.

“Is President Obama so weak that decisions are made for him in the United States to kill a Latin American head of state without his knowing it?” he said.

Venezuela’s authorities have claimed to have foiled a plot to kill the country’s president after arresting two hit men, allegedly actingv on orders from a former Colombian leader.

------

Venezuela made frequent allegations of assassination plots against the late leftist President Hugo Chavez and has continued to do so under Mr Maduro, his hand-picked successor.

2. right, because we of course would never ever do anything like that.

The odd hatred for Latin American socialists on an allegedly progressive message board continues unabated.

5. But the baseless impugning of a Democratic president on a Democratic board should

be better measured.

"Some other guy once did it so obviously Obama is just as guilty," is not an argument, it's a temper tantrum over past issues.

10. I actually did not claim that we are involved. I'm just not going to dismiss it as unthinkable.

We've done worse. Democratic presidents have done worse.
