PWW: U.S. threats to Venezuela’s revolution escalate
Aggressive maneuvers against Venezuela from the Bush government have reached new heights. Here are some indicators. That a coup against Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez was under way when opposition parties opted out of Venezuela’s December parliamentary elections was not obvious. But at the time Vice President José Vicente Rangel alleged that the U.S. Embassy was “extremely active” behind the scenes.
Rumsfeld on Feb. 2 compared Hugo Chávez to Hitler, declaring, “We’ve got Chávez in Venezuela. … He’s a person who was elected legally, just as Adolf Hitler was elected legally. ... He is working closely with Fidel Castro and Mr. Morales and others. It concerns me
"How many Hitlers do we have these Days? Saddam was "like Hitler", Kim Jong II "like Hitler", Ahmadinejad "like Hitler", Chavez is "like Hitler"...Can the real Hitler please stand up"
