Chavez in Cuba""I don't even know who that person is"

Venezuela Condemns Pat Robertson's Call for Assassination of Its President


Winding up a visit to Cuba, Chavez said in response to questions from reporters about Roberston's remarks that such comments did not matter to him and that he would prefer to "talk about life."
"What they say doesn't matter to me a bit," said Chavez, standing next to Cuban leader Fidel Castro at Havana's airport as he concluded a visit. "I don't even know who that person is."

Asked what he thought about his vice president saying the U.S. government should take action against Robertson, Chavez said, "we haven't heard anything."

"I think only God can punish crimes of such magnitude," Castro said, referring to Robertson's words. "I always say that God helps Chavez."

6. So who's the Real evil one??
A) "The Venezuelan president for the first time offered to help impoverished U.S. communities with their fuel needs as well, complaining that middle men have taken advantage of the American poor by pushing up the prices of gasoline and diesel unnecessarily high.

"We could also help some poor communities in the United States, directly selling them gasoline," Chavez said."
-- Venezuela President Chavez

or

B) "We have the ability to take him (Chavez) out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability."

"We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator," he continued. "It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with."
-- SOB Robertson


Somebody could "start" a really funny quiz on Reality TV with these! ;)

9. I wonder if that will pan out...
We should all support CITGO.lol (owned by Venezuela Petro...)

Can you imagine if they started offering gas or heating oil at $1.00 a gallon to anyone who could prove they are low income?

10. "Two hundred billion dollar war"
And not a thought, or a word, or a worry, about the almost 2,000 dead Americans and the thousands more who came home wounded in action, in a war that Bush started when he stood up before God and the world and broke Commandment number three: "Thou shalt not swear falsely by the name of the Lord"

Bush swears he's a born again Bible reader, who prays every day and he took an oath on the Bible to "Faithfully" lead the country, but he chose to stand up time after time and mislead, the world and the country.

The horrors in and around Iraq are just part of your and Bush's punishment, for being liars and misleaders for profit Pat.

Pat needs to read the fine print in his Billion Dollar Bible sometime!

11. " some of the covert operatives "
Edited on Tue Aug-23-05 07:45 PM by Hubert Flottz
The CIC: "Pat, all you volunteers fall in over here, on the double!"
Pat: Please mister President, I don't Wanna Go!(Forward Ho)

Pat is worried about Rev. Moons holdings in South America!

15. Pat & Hugo: The Real Story
"Why should Chavez worry what Dick thinks? Because, said one of the oil men, the Veep in his bunker, not the pretzel chewer in the White House, "runs energy policy in the United States".

A good read Greg Palast has been to Valenzuela many times to interview Chavez.

Pat & Hugo
