Chavez: Bush should get death penalty

[personman]

CARACAS, Venezuela, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez slammed the Saddam Hussein death penalty and said it is U.S. President George W. Bush who should be sentenced to death.

"If sentencing is to be done," said Chavez earlier this week, "the first one to be given the most severe sentence this planet has to offer should be the president of the United States, if we're talking about genocidal presidents," the Miami Herald reported Thursday.

The leftist Venezuelan leader has often criticized the Bush administration for its war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan and for allegedly trying to overthrow his own administration.

1. I agree. But Chavez, please....stop.

[Jay Sherman]

2. No don't stop. The more people hear, the more likely they may

move beyond the big business controlled media and actually find out what Chavez is talking about; the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank Group's Structural Adjustment Programs (SAP) and the disaster they've been, reducing hundreds of millions to malnutrition induced disease and death. Not to mention the truth about the US's spreading "freedom" and "democracy". Such as trying to overthrow Chavez. Successfully kidnapping Aristide when he wouldn't agree to the murderous SAPs of the IMF. Funding the murderous regime in Colombia with the third most US aid. On and on it goes. People need to find out. The vast majority don't know and the big business controlled media is keeping quiet. Chomsky is censored, Parenti is censored, Blum is censored, etc, etc, etc. Only Chavez is really mentioned at all. Of course the media doesn't give any substance to his comments but at least it gives people the chance to look into such issues further.

3. He could always invade and arrest him.

Hey, we did it.

5. Let the world know!

I'm kinda on the anti-impeachment stage here...Impeachment would splinter this country and could harm our immediate (Democratic) opportunities in terms of education, universal health care, crime prevention, security against terrorism, etc., not to mention the '08 election.

...but let the international forum take care of these BushCo crooks, and the Democrats don't get muddied in the process.

6. Well, I won't criticize a foreigh leader - a good one at that...
