....the two-month Venezuelan national oil strike happened just a matter of months after Chavez threatened to switch from the dollar to the euro. In fact if I remember right, Venezuela was going to be the first South American country to make the switch from the dollar to the euro too. I do in fact remember Chavez accused the US and more specifically the CIA of instigating that oil strike and trying to over throw his administration. Didn't he have to flee the country for a short time?

I'm sorry I don't have links for any of this because I think it was during that time that my computer went south on me. If anyone has links for the claims I've made here PLEASE do me the favor of posting them.

The switch from the dollar to the euro seems to be the thorn in Bush's side and appears to be the one common thread through all of the crap he and his bunch are pulling.
