Sorry to ruin the conspiracy theory party, but the Whitehouse has already said they aren't going to assassinate Chavez. I think this pretty much rules out an attempt, as anything would now be assumed to be the work of those evil oil-thirsting American Christianistas.

Quote:
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said that Robertson is a private citizen and that his views do not reflect U.S. policy.
"We do not share his view and his comments are inappropriate," he said. "And as we've said before, any allegations that we are planning to take hostile action against the Venezuelan government are completely baseless and without fact."
A Chavez supporter in the Venezuelan parliament, Desire Santos Amaral said "This man cannot be a true Christian. He's a fascist."

One crazy guy says something stupid and we are to assume he's revealing George Bush's evil plot to monger (yes, I said monger) more oil? Give me a break.
