2. Colombian leaders' accusations against Chavez are as about as reliable as who they claim
they have killed in their Forever War. For instance, in the case of La Macarena, Colombia, where a recent mass grave with up to 2,000 bodies was found (because local children drinking the water got sick from the pollution of the corpses), the Colombian military claimed that the bodies were of FARC guerrillas--as if that would be justification for a mass grave--and local people said they are the bodies of 'disappeared' community activists (union leaders, farmer organizers, human rights workers, political leftists--of which tens of thousands have been slaughtered by the Colombian military and its closely tied rightwing paramilitary death squads). On other occasions, they have murdered local people and dressed the bodies up like FARC guerrillas, to up their body count to impress U.S. senators.

Colombia's 40+ civil war is their gravy train. That's why they lie. And Venezuelans having clean, transparent, internationally monitored elections, free universal health care, free education through college, and numerous other social benefits, and all that oil in the control of their transparently elected, popular government induces hatred in Washington DC and makes Venezuela the caboose on that train carrying $7 BILLION U.S. TAX DOLLARS to the murdering fuckers running Colombia.

Santos is the 'Donald Rumsfeld' of Latin America. He is itching to invade Venezuela, kill all the leftists with the same alacrity that the Colombian military (possibly with the help of the U.S. and U.K. militaries*) slaughtered 2,000 community leaders in La Macarena, and give control of the oil back to Exxon his paymasters. He is sarcastic, arrogant and cold as ice, like Rumsfeld, and conscienceless like Rumsfeld, and he is the darling of the fascists and war profiteers in this country. Chavez is right about Santos. He is a bloody menace.
