I would gladly pay more for fuel, if it keeps my money out of this guys pockets. Heck, I thought that they were part of OPEC. That means if he cuts production to us, other members will increase production to make up the difference. So, no real loss to us, only to him. Can't we get someone in there to take out his prick? |

I find his timing interesting in that oil is heading downward again.If his threat was sucessful it would certainly drive oil prices back up.Chavez was seen last week with his NBF Iranian president Ahmadinejad.No doubt they were concocting schemes to keep oil high as it benefits the both of them.
Didn't Bush remove the "No Assassination of Foreign Leaders" rule? I thought he hid it in one of the spending/funding bills? Black Ops to the rescue. |

"No Assassination of Foreign Leaders" rule. Just another self impost limit we set upon ourselves that no other country has to live up to (no pun intended).

Maybe higher oil prices is just the ticket to give the gov't a kick in the pants and remove drilling and production restrictions.
Btw...what exactly is the offense the U.S. committed against Venezuela anyway? Yeah yeah...I know....imperialist America....blah blah blah...but seriously what's the problem? |

It would be quite a can of worms if a "hit" were ever traced back to us.I think We'd be the first suspects anyway.I believe the Rule was in place before Castro took power.I don't know how long before though.

Maybe it is the fact that our leadership has publicly condemned this man and his policies.

This Chavez is a no good commie SOB. If the Venizualan people have any doubts what their in for, they should look at Cuba. Right now Chavez is trying to change their constitution so he can grab more & more power. Basic consumer comidities are disapearing from store shelves. The people are rioting in the streets. And this clown has the nads to call Bush satin?

I say we beat him to the punch and ban all imports from Venezuela, and be sure to make it publicly known there just why its being done.
Lets see how much his people love him when the find out his loudmouth is responsible for their loss of income...that sounds familiar, hmmmmmm..... ![]() ![]() |

So is China, but that isn't stopping us from giving them the keys to this country.

HMMMM!! I was under the impression that the USA imported and refined a lot of oil for that sorry nutbag. For those of you who don't know, he owns Citgo. So if you are buying Citgo gas or products, stop now. I haven't bought anything with the Citgo logo on it for several years. He's doing his best to become a dictator just like Castro and if he's as far in bed with Iranian president I'manutjob,as the Whitehouse is with Israel, then we'd all better get prepared for some wild stuff in the future. It wouldn't surprise me if Chavez buys a "Bomb" from I'manutjob as soon as he has more than one and then points it straight at us from down south. I'm with Jim65B, let's stop all imports from Venzuela including their athletes. That'll sure screw with his economy for a little while.

It was also reported that Chavez has ordered all of Citgo's assets sold off.Also reported is that he's negotiating with China to buy the 1 million barrels he's not going to send here.So,it looks like he's serious. We're going to have to take him out.If we're ever on the edge of a recession,the loss of that much oil will push us over the edge. |

Oil is a fungible commodity.
Boycotting Citgo won't affect anything, except maybe to make you feel better. |

True.If everyone boycotted Exxon they would sell the gas in Europe or to another U.S. oil company.

1 million BPD is a drop in the bucket. Look at how much oil we import every day. Look how much we export every day.
Also, like I said, OPEC will shift that Million BPD to come from another country. Chavez can Chav it up his az. |

China will buy Chavez' oil and will still compete for the extra 1M bbls that OPEC will over supply.It creates additional instability in the market and that's what speculators feed on. Quote:

It looks like it no longer matters. Chavez lost this round of voting, so the US has nothing to speak out about. Chavez will not be allowed to run in 2012.

How about giving the fellow a break, before he went into power that country was a play ground for the rich that abused the poor at will just like most of the other countries in that area. Chavez is like Castro in that he cares about his people, both of them hold a trait that should be common with all the world's leaders but that would be dreaming. And before you start bashing just think what if Castro had all the oil and we had none, count your blessings my friend, charity is our only hope of survival in this world so praise those that help their fellow countrymen not condemn them.

There is a simple solution to offshore oil dependency. First, recognize that only about 20% of our crude comes from offshore. Most comes from Canada, Mexico and our own fields.
Now we happen to have a few trillion barrels of crude sitting in ANWR and in deeper pools off the Gulf coast and Kalifornia coastal areas. A couple of years ago, our magnificent congress managed to prevent the environmentally safe and critically important exploitation of that supply. Sure makes you wonder where our priorities are! The solution is right in our back yard. |

Around here that trait gets you labeled "socialist". It seems that caring about citizens of the rest of the world is OK but caring about your own makes you a "bleeding heart Liberal".
