Venezuela: Chavez says U.S. plans attack

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Dec. 17 (UPI) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Thursday the U.S. military is using bases on Dutch islands near his country to plan an attack.

The leftist Venezuelan leader made his assertion during his speech before delegates from more than 190 nations at the U.N. Climate Summit in Copenhagen, Denmark, though offered no concrete proof, Globovision reported Thursday.

Chavez said the United States has spies and other military personnel at bases on the self-ruling Dutch islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao near the northern coast of Venezuela.

The Venezuelan president has repeatedly asserted the United States has been planning to invade his country in hopes of deposing him.

11. Well, to be honest, we already gave it a go once...

It's not like there isn't precedent.

Personally I think the plan is just to look like we're thinking of doing stuff, thereby turning Chavez as wacky as Castro got. Camels and shit.

10. Get Hill and Knowlton on the phone

The PR firm that brought us Iraqi babies dumped from their incubators will need to create a boffo campaign to turn Hugo into the next Hitler. (Needless to say, anyone who opposes Chavez will be branded the moral equivalent of our Founding Fathers.)
