It will be interesting to see what both sides of Congress says about this BAD situation with Venezuelan Chavez and Subs....It's yet ANOTHER reason we need to become much more energy independent! Will our folks continue to dither while Chavez buys the submarines ...????

Venezuela Goes Shopping for Submarines

President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela has caused quite a bit of heartburn in the region because of his leftist politics. Chavez has become quite chummy with communist dictator Fidel Castro of Cuba, and is now taking a page from the Cold War playbook by turning to Russia for weapons. Unlike Cuba, Venezuela has lots of oil money, and the Russians are eagerly offering Chavez just about anything he wants. Chavez wants three more submarines, and the Russians are hot to find export customers for their new Lada (replacement form the Kilo) diesel electric boats.
