Chavez is obviously on borrowed time... Regardless of whether the allegations about supporting Al-Quaida prove true or not..

Very interesting... Especially with Al-Qaida members finding refuge in Venezuela.. There has been a interesting Arab-muslim community in Panama, which I personally experienced..

And allegedly, aside from some of them being heavily involved in narcotics smuggling, there were some suspicions I've "heard of" that they were using the region as a staging base for terrorist attacks on the US.. (setting up networks, transit points, safehouses, arm caches.. etc)..

Thanks for posting that link... It's about time we get to see some stuff that isn't re-cycled analysis of events we've already discussed..
