Killing him wont do any good, the people in Venezuela voted this guy into office, they'll just put another dictator in his place.

When they voted him in they were not aware he would turn the presidency into a dictatorship.

I'm sure the Columbians would have no problem taking out the commie pig, with some U.S. backing of course.

exxon-mobil made $40.6 billion net . The company’s sales, more than $404 billion. That's 10% profit.

if you think they make too much money, stop buying their gas.

What I've read is that the US is one of a very few that is set up to refine Venezuealen crude. The idiot Chavez is shooting himself in the foot.

Yea. Venezuela owns a bunch of refineries in the US set up specifically to refine their crude because it's not very high quality. At this time in history, any oil is good oil, but it'll cost them a lot to trick someone else into going into business pumping, importing, and refining Venezuelan oil. After all, who wants to expend capital doing business with a country that just nationalized a bunch of perfectly legal corporate assets?

It would be a really big gamble. Maybe China would benefit from such a venture, but I'm not sure who else would think it's all that great of an idea.

Not very smart.

Just overthrow Chavez. Assassinate him.

If he proves resilient to Seal teams spotting him and dropping bombs on his house, like Saddam was, send the Armed Forces in to occupy the country under a WMD/Terror pretext.

If the script ain't broke, don't fix it, that's what I always say.

Exxon-Mobil made more than $400B in *profit* last QUARTER. I'm sure they can afford a few Blackwater guys to laze his house.

We don't care what he does, as long as he does it to himself. But when he starts to steal other company's property he and every other communist in the world must know that they will be punished where it hurts them the most. In the bank account.

Screw assassinating him. I want to watch him squirm as he runs out of other people's money.

It's only gonna get worst from here on out, I've heard estimates that say we have less then 50 years of fossil fuels left, just think what it's gonna be like when we get closer to the end.

That made absolutely no sense. Not even to the Rednecks'.

Can't we just deploy an AH BBS poster to nag Chavez to death?
