Assassinate Chavez? Suits me.

Pat Robertson has been ripped up one side and down the other for calling for the assassination of anti-American Commie Hugo Chavez:
"You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war ... and I don't think any oil shipments will stop.
We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator," he continued. "It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with."
I hate to be the one to swim against the tide of public opinion (well, actually I don't), but as long as we don't get caught, liquidating Chavez would be perfectly fine with me.
As far as I'm concerned, a world without Hugh Chavez in it would be a better place. Same goes for Castro.
Still, I have a Machiavellian view of US foreign policy. It seems a bit odd to see a preacher, even if it is Pat Robertson, who seems to think the same way... |
