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.  |
I certainly hope you are correct, and that the US does not take steps against the Chavez administration. I would be naive to think that they aren't prepared to though, should they feel it would work to their benefit.
No, Robertson's statement really has nothing to do with all of that. He isn't revealing anything we didn't already know (icy relations between the two leaderships), nor present an option that hadn't already been talked about (assassination). Pat won't dictate US policy, nor will he stop it.
