Chavez Visits Qaddafi, Calls for World to Unite Against America

TRIPOLI, Libya — Oil-rich Venezuela's anti-American president, recently slapped with a U.S. arms embargo, was given a warm welcome to the Libyan capital Wednesday by Col. Moammar Qaddafi, whose authoritarian regime was only just removed from Washington's list of countries that sponsor terrorism.

After dining with Qaddafi, Hugo Chavez called for the world to turn its back on the United States.

"We are against America, the imperialist," he told reporters. "We don't accept its hegemony. The whole world should unite against America."

He made light of the U.S. arms embargo, saying: "We make weapons ourselves and we have some from Europe, Asia and Russia, and we leave the door open to China.

1. Umm consider the source

You don't think Faux would put words in Chavez' mouth, do you? In his speeches, he's always made the difference between Bushco and the average American. Especially those he's helping with the CITGO heating-oil deals

3. The meeting itself is the slap.

Doesn't matter a damn what they said.

I wondered at Qadafi rolling over so easily.

5. LOL! Colonel "Good Witch of the Mideast" Qaddafi!

Has anyone heard anything of Libya getting searched and inspected stem to stern and threatened to a fare-thee-well after turning in their "crates of evil" and declaring that was the sum total of their program? Any suspicions at all by this most distrusting administration that perhaps Libya was holding out?

Heck no...that'd spoil the neocon fairy tale ending.

Hey, NSA! This is the only time I've called shrubbie an murderous asshole! You can stop looking now! :evilgrin:

Welcome to DU, GP! :hi:

9. Just two days earlier...

This stunning development was hailed by the White House and supporters of the war in Iraq as a vindication of the Bush doctrine of preventive war. Pundits proclaimed that Qaddafi’s transformation was a direct result of his fear of ending up like Saddam Hussein. Britain’s Daily Telegraph reported that Qaddafi had telephoned Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi in September 2003 and offered, “I will do whatever the Americans want, because I saw what happened in Iraq, and I was afraid.”

ROFL.

They've been punked.
