I think its fantastic that the bloke slating Chavez is a man "whose law firm represents an American subsidiary of a Hugo Chavez-controlled oil company."
That alone makes most of this propaganda fed straight from Bush and Co.
"Who would listen to Chavez if he didn't have all this oil money? Nobody would listen to him," Giuliani said.
I think you have more than one export from South America.
He said Chavez's social programs and those of Cuban leader Fidel Castro "keep people in poverty" and "keep people dependent."
Apart from the fact this statement isn't true, the fact that you buy goods of the people of developing and industrialisating nations at dirt cheap prices keeps their economy down.
And maybe this Presidential Candidate should focus on helping those in poverty in his nation before attacking others for their country when they have a government that has clearly improved things in Venezuala since Chavez came to power. Just not in favour of America.
"I feel perfect freedom to point out that Hugo Chavez is a person who's acting against the interests of the United States. He's someone where we'd be in a much better position if we could cut him off. If we could say we don't want or need Venezuelan oil," Giuliani told reporters after the speech. "I don't think there's anyone that's more outspoken about how dangerous I think he is."
Yeah, we know that you don't like Chavez, so what are you going to do? Claim there are some weapons of mass destruction in there, or just use the CIA to get a regime change?
And we all know you need Venezuala's oil as things stand, and there doesn't seem to be a huge reneweable energy scheme in the pipeline to swing things back into Americas favour.
