Hello Writerman,

You may be sadly correct, check out this Yahoo news link:

Is this the truth or milgov propaganda--How can we know the real facts?  IMHO, makes no sense for Venezuela to tease or anger the US elites.

A few hours ago I saw Chavez on the BBC. He wanted OPEC to recognize Venezuela as the world's lagest source of oil. According to him Venezuela has enough oil for a hundred years supply, which sounds great, if one can figure out exactly what he really means! It would appear he's including the tarsand into this figure. He also said the US was planning to invade his country, but this would be a very bad idea, as nobody would get any oil, not us, not you, and the resulting war would last a very long time. Let's just hope it doesn't really come to that.
