Watch out, Putin!

Coincidence? I don't THINK so.

4. Venezuela offers fuel, food to hurricane-hit US

CARACAS (AFP) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez offered to send food and fuel to the United States after the powerful Hurricane Katrina pummeled the US south, ravaging US crude production.

The leftist leader, a frequent critic of the United States and a target himself of US disapproval, said Venezuela could send aid workers with drinking water, food and fuel to US communities hit by the hurricane.

"We place at the disposition of the people of the United States in the event of shortages -- we have drinking water, food, we can provide fuel," Chavez told reporters.

Chavez said fuel could be sent to the United States via a Citgo refinery that has not been affected by the hurricane. Citgo is owned by Venezuela's state-owned oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA).

In the Gulf of Mexico, which accounts for a quarter of total US oil output, 92 percent of crude and 83 percent of natural gas production were shut down due to Hurricane Katrina, which slammed Louisiana and Mississippi, according to US government data.

Venezuela is the fourth-largest provider of oil to the United States, supplying some 1.5 million barrels a day.

Last week, Chavez offered discount gasoline to poor Americans suffering from high oil prices and on Sunday offered free eye surgery for Americans without access to health care.

7. If ** attacked Venezuela

after Chavez's generous offer of help (VERY generous considering that an assassination threat just came from one of **'s base), it would be unconscionable. I don't think even ** could be THAT stupid.

3. You're right, it's hard to give odds

He doesn't tend to go at a problem directly (see Exhibit A, titled "Osama Never Was in Iraq").

He might go after Venezuela, or he may re-attack the medical school in Greneda. Greneda might try to fool us again. We have a saying in Texas. Fool me once.....won't get fooled again.

Finally, don't count Cuba out of the running. Or some hapless African country, for that matter. Keep in mind, most of these hurricanes form off the coast of Africa.

5. Couldn't we invade Haiti - Katrina came from that direction.

OOps -we've already done that. Wonder how their democracy is coming along now that we've helped rekindle the torch of Liberty there?
