Brazil praises ties with Caracas following US harangue

Brazil Friday praised its "excellent relations" with Venezuela, in the wake of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's call upon the international community to create a "united front" against President Hugo Chávez.

"Brazil has had excellent relations with Venezuela in the last few years," said to AFP a spokesman for the Brazilian Foreign Affairs Ministry's press office when asked about Rice's comments.

Examples of such good bilateral ties are "frequent meetings" between Brazilian ruler Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Chávez, as well as the recent "entry of Venezuela into the Southern Common Market (Mercosur,)" said the spokesperson.

"This shows the high level of our relations" with Venezuela. The spokesman added that Venezuela "has a major role in the South American community of nations."

1. Condi needs to STFU!

And Bolton needs to go!

2. CondaLiar Rice is in over her head.

She's like this Neanderthal thug, sitting by a campfire. The only thing she knows how to do is to bash people over the head to get them to pay attention.

The world has changed! Central and South American are unifying. They are banding together, to throw off their parasitic tapeworm, Bush and his corporate cronies.

It's amazing that she doesn't get it. Lula de Silva tells her right there, that they are co-operating with Venezuela. How many fights is she going to take on? The entire world?

3. Yes, Miss "we've GOT to have a war!" PhD-from-Stanford.

If she's so smart and her credentials are so impressive, why is she such a consistent, abysmal, world-class FUCKUP?

I swear, the people in this administration have done more to disgrace the great universities of this country - look at the human dreck to whom they've passed out all these advanced degrees.

4. She's No Neanderthal Thug

THEY WOULDN'T HAVE HER IN THEIR TRIBE

SHE'S TOO VIOLENT

5. Let's go to Carnival!

The wicked witch of North America can't stand the human caring, understanding and fun that goes on in South America. The administration can't grab the oil riches there and it pisses them off!
