Venezuela supplies about 12 percent of the oil imported by the United States

Oil is fungible. And with Venezuela's thick crude, may Chavez have good luck finding someone else that has the refining capacity to use it. He'll hurt Venezuela far more than he'll hurt the U.S.

sadly we do need his oil

We could do without it. It would make us a better country for it.

Anyways, he would sell it to someone else and then we would buy it from somewhere else.

It is the WORLD supply that is critical.

I would like to see him mess up public relations (e.g. Citgo customers who should be buying their gas elsewhere anyways).
