Chavez: Obama seems to lack knowledge on region

The Associated Press

Published: March 21, 2009

CARACAS, Venezuela: Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said President Barack Obama doesn't seem to know much about what's going on in Latin America.

Chavez made the remark in clips of an interview with Al-Jazeera shown late Friday, also saying Brazil's president came away from his recent talks with Obama not entirely pleased.

"What I read between the lines," Chavez said, is that "Obama has for now — and that can be overcome — a great lack of knowledge about what's really going on here" in Latin America.

Chavez: Obama clueless about reality

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 23:16:55 GMT

Chaves scorns Obama, saying he needs to 'read and study' more to understand realities.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez says his US counterpart is clueless about the 'reality of Latin America', urging him to 'read and study'.

Such ignorance," Chavez said adding that

"the real obstacle has been

the empire that he today presides over,

which has exported terrorism for nearly 200 years,

has launched atomic bombs on innocent cities,

has bombarded, invaded

and issued orders to kill

whenever they have taken the notion."

whoa!! Chavez really lays it on the line, eh?

GO CHAVEZ!!!

TRUTH TO POWER!

Now let me think ... Columbia ... CIA?

Oh ya ... it's coming back ... the border ... where Venuzuela(n oil) has been under seige by the US for ... how long?

Death squads anyone?

"The CIA, in coordination with other [foreign] intelligence services operating in Venezuela, is preparing acts of destabilization, with a plan especially designed to be executed after the November 23 elections [2008], regardless of the election result".

and a blast from the past ... 2002

Based on the newly released CIA briefs, an analyst said yesterday that it appeared that Cheney et al were lying yet again.

"There is substantive evidence that the CIA not only knew in advance about the coup, but that they were the coup. And it is clear that this intelligence was distributed to dozens of members of the Bush administration, giving them affirmation that their request for a coup against Chavez was being carried out," said Peter Kornblow, a senior analyst at the National Security Archive in Washington.

(god bless 'archives')

"The CIA was simply doing what it is we do, murder and kill. Sometimes just a head shot will suffice and everybody can go home. In terms of analyzing events and providing policy-makers with our best estimate of whether a coup will succeed or not, we do that too and then present the executive with an estimate of charges, quid pro quos, for effecting the coup" said the spokeswoman, Clare Frankenwahl, who declined to be named. She added that alerting Chávez to the impending coup "would suggest we would meddle in the affairs of another nation even though we were funneling millions into his wealthy opponents through the USAID and others and all 'round tryin' to fuck Chavez up."

It's just a desperate attempt at attention. Sorry King Hugo, but Obama has many things on his plate, you'll have to get your attention from somebody else. Try your buddies Putin, Castro, or Ahmadinejad for support.

Look at old King George W and the evil Prince Cheney - They shocked and awed the hell out of Baghdad...Then after the bombing ceased asked an aid to point out where Iraq was on the map - Obama did not recieve a early Canadian geography course...so he knows about as much as the last administration on who is who and where it is.

Going back to my two room school house - I had a teacher in grade 8 - who used to teach in the North West Territories...He gave us a university level break down on South America. It was a little course he devised himself - but now - teachers are instructed to do what they are told which is not a whole lot other than the bare basics and knowing how their pension fund is doing..Times have changed - The world is growing smaller and so are our minds - Twitter anyone?

By the way the Russians invented GPS - and the telephone and the car!~
