Venezuela president calls Bush Mr. Danger, says he has reason to worry
http://www.cbc.ca/cp/world/050506/w050658.html

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez lashed out at President George W. Bush, calling him Mr. Danger and saying wars from Iraq to Colombia show the U.S. government is a menace to the world. snip

"That's a reality, as it was in Central America, as it was in the Middle East. Who armed Saddam Hussein? Who gave Saddam Hussein weapons, ammunition, military technology? The U.S. government," said Chavez, a fierce critic of the U.S. war in Iraq.

"Who armed Osama bin Laden, and gave al-Qaida the great power it has? The United States," he said, apparently referring to U.S. support for Afghan forces in their war against Soviet troops in the 1980s.

Chavez said he wouldn't be surprised if the United States were supplying guns to Colombian guerrillas, their paramilitary enemies and the Colombian army at the same time "to justify their Plan Patriot and at the same time establish military bases in Colombia."

3. So Chavez gives Bush a nickname
That's interesting considering how * uses nicknames to belittle people. Do you think Chavez is savvy enough to know that would annoy him? I do.

There's a man Chavez calls Mr. Danger
The world thinks this man acts stranger and stranger
Oh, with every move he makes
Somebody's oil he takes
Odds are he won't get Venezuela.

Stupid POTUS man

You can keep your worthless name


With deep apologies to Johnny Rivers :)

10. Perfectly place last sentence! Couldn't be better.
Chavez said he hopes the United States will "leave me in peace so that I can work."

11. World polls show majority think bush is the greatest threat to peace.
How silly, believing a nation that is #1 for state-sanctioned terrorism would be the world's greatest threat!
