He is playing with fire. Outside of bowling with Bin Laden, an invasion of Columbia is the only move that can end with a cruise missile coming in his bedroom window. Perhaps it is time for an over/under on his stay in power?

I am Colombian. Chavez is trying to get his nose in here for a long time and now he is pissed because our Government killed a.k.a. Raul Reyes las saturday. Reyes was number two in FARC's guerrilla army.

It seems that Chavez wants to have any excuse to invade Colombia and try to impose his left-wing politics here, but Colombia has already payed a very high price against this comunist guerrilla and all citizens are tired of this.

We hope that U.S. support our Government, because this is a war against FARC's comunism and drug dealing politic.

This blowhard Chavez does anything to keep the focus off his internal failures. You would think this munchkin runs the Pentagon or something. Forget it. Venezeula has a GDP less than the State of Connecticut. Yes, less than Connecticut. Look it up. Buy the way, what does Connecticut make anyway? Name the Governor of Connecticut? What's the biggest city in Connecticut? Who are the Senators from Connecticut?

So why does the U.S. media keep big mouth Chavez on the front page. Exactly why should we care about this puggish little dictator who runs a nation with less economic impact than our own tiny State of Connecticut? How much does Chavez matter to us? Zip, that's how much.

Not only do they try to rip you off, they send your email out and you get a ton of junk mail.

Venezuela has a GDP less than the State of Connecticut???. It may be true, but what about Iraq.
Iraq's GDP, according with the CIA, was less than Venezuela's GDP (2006 est.)I need to say more.
Hugo Chavez found in the Colombia-Venezuela-Ecuador crisis a great opportunity to provoke the U.S., in order to reaffirm what he preachs in his "government". In addition to that he always showed his friendliness with the FARC.

If he moves tanks to the Venezuelan side of the frontier, the only armed Colombians they will find will be those from the FARC.

This is probably the beginning of the end for Chavez. A historical look at wars started by dictators indicate that they end badly for the dictators. This case though has a potential of being the Iran/Iraq war and somehow I can't escape the feeling that the US will have to intervene and spank Chavez.
