It is mainly oil now, but the fact that he is a freedom fighter scares the bujesus out of neocons. Basck when he was a military officer, he decided to hold a coup to overtrow then President Perez because he was corupt and was repressive. Our own corupt repressive politicians prefer the easy to control freedom fighter, like the Mujahadin back in the 80s (I have no idea how they thought that wouldn't come back to bite us in the ass, btw). Chavez survived a coup that was likely incited and supported by the CIA.
