"The only destabilizing force we know is the lunatic in the White House THE INTERNATIONAL FORECASTER editor Bob Chapman writes: George and the neocons are relentless in their pursuit of ending relations with Venezuela. During a trip to Brazil, Don Rumsfeld, US Defense Secretary said, "I can't imagine why Venezuela needs 100,000 AK-47s, I can't imagine what is going to happen to those 100,000 AK-47's. I personally hope the delivery doesn't happen, if it did, it wouldn't be good for the hemisphere." This is what is called smart-ass remarks coming from an arrogant bully who cannot get his own way and who had made a complete mess of the Iraq quagmire. His inference is Venezuela should not arm themselves ... while he is arming Colombia to the teeth in an unfriendly light. Cheney's reference to usage is that Venezuela is going to arm FARC. The bottom line is President Chavez defends his country and its people and Washington is not accustomed to meeting up with someone who works outside the box, so he is labeled a "destabilizing force." The only destabilizing force we know is the lunatic in the White House. Rumsfeld is trying to coerce Brazil into withdrawing its support of Venezuela. Our answer is, Ron, not in your wildest dreams.

"don't even think about it!" THE INTERNATIONAL FORECASTER editor Bob Chapman writes: Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Frias has designated Army Major General Julio Quintero Viloria as Military Reserve and National Mobilization Commander. A territorial army, consisting of ex-servicemen and women, will augment a national defense strategy to integrate the Armed Forces into a national development. This is a national deterrent being formulated to protect Venezuela due to actions over the last several years by the Bush administration and Colombia. President Chavez Frias says if he is forcibly removed from office or assassinated, that his domestic opponents will face a government far more radical than his government. Mr. Chavez has said ... "don't even think about it." THE INTERNATIONAL FORECASTER P. O.
