Chavez and Gaddafi Together

What could possibly go wrong?

Venezuela’s President Hugo Chávez and Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi have joined forces to urge the world to redefine “terrorism”.

After a summit last weekend for African and South American leaders on the Venezuelan island of Margarita, the two leaders signed a document rejecting attempts to link terrorism to ”the legitimate struggle of the people for liberty and self-determination”.

While emphasising the importance of attacking terrorism “in all its forms, including state terrorism”, the controversial duo called for an international conference to establish a new definition for the concept of terrorism.

Sounds like a clown convention…clowns who unfortunately cause their citizens endless misery.

Oh, and speaking of clowns:

Mr Chávez earlier also singled out Zimbabwe’s leader, Robert Mugabe, for praise during the summit meeting over the weekend. “I wish to give our moral, spiritual and political support to Mugabe and the people of Zimbabwe,” Mr Chávez said. “They seek to make Mugabe pay for being anti-colonialist.”

Ah yes, wise leader Mugabe, under whose enlightened tutelage Zimbabwe has gone from being the bread basket of Africa to it’s basket case.

Much like how Venezuela is heading.

    Oh, good Lord.

    Too bad the natural disasters that wiped out a lot of good people in the Philippines and in Samoa didn’t target these two instead.

    Look for a great many more of these things and on a much larger scale. Forget the headlines, these are natural resource alliances. In the next few years you are going to see formal alliances between these smaller countries and larger states like Russia and China. This is all part of a larger global power shift using resources and financial power. Start connecting some dots.

    There is also a quaint little country just south of Venezuela that is resource rich and not fiendly to America that will probably align with the dark side.

    The next decade will not be sunshine and UN coke commercials for the United States.
