Chavez Warns Bush to Back Off, or Face 10$ Per Gallon Gasoline
Chavez Warns Bush to Back Off, or Face 10$ Per Gallon Gasoline
watchingamerica.com

Hugo Chavez, the president of the Republic, has assured people that the American market is not essential to Venezuela, and he declared that if the aggression against his government continued to increase, diplomatic ties between the two countries would be at risk.

He said that President Bush cannot seem to take an accurate measure of the situation, and that either he has bad advisers or there is something wrong with his head.

The chief executive said that if he stopped sending petroleum to United States, the Americans must know that the price of a gallon of gasoline would rise to $10. Nevertheless, he was careful to explain that he doesn’t want to cause harm to the Americans and would even order that they be permitted to enroll in the Misión Milagro.

(Editor’s Note: Mision Milagro is a joint Cuba/Venezuela program that treats poor people with eye disease in Latin America and the Caribbean. Chavez means to imply that George W. Bush doesn’t see clearly).

3. $10 a gallon is Bush's fondest dream.
He's probably drooling over the prospect.

6. I wonder how many times we're going to go thru this before..
people get it thru their head that America's national "security" is a complete illusion until we are energy self-sufficient. We clearly didn't learn a damned thing from the OPEC embargo in the 70s.
