Pat Loves All Men... not.
Watch yer back, Hugo Chavez:
He has destroyed the Venezuelan economy, and heâs going to make that a launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism all over the continent. I donât know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks weâre trying to assassinate him, I think we really ought to go ahead and do it. Itâs a whole lot cheaper than starting a war, and I donât think any oil shipments will stop. But this man is a terrific danger, and this is in our sphere of influence, so we canât let this happen.—Pat Robertson on his 700 Club television show, Monday August 22
Meanwhile, Venezuela presses forward with its Petrocaribe plan, and signs up Jamaica with a preferentially priced oil supply deal. That’s 22,000 bbl/day which won’t be available in the future to the US, and while its not much out of the 3.1 M bbl/day output of the country, expect the rhetoric to increase as more deals are done.
