Friday August 12th - Chavez suspended co-operation w/ the DEA (US spying)
snip

Earlier this week, President Chavez, a fierce critic of the Bush administration, said he was suspending co-operation with the DEA.

"The DEA has used the pretext of fighting drug trafficking... to spy on Venezuela's government," he said last Sunday.

Venezuelan prosecutors have been investigating the activities of DEA agents working in the South American country.

Venezuela is an important transport route for cocaine from neighbouring Colombia, which produces 80% of the world's supply.

2. Would you deal with a regime that has tried to overthrow your Government?
This is a major screw up on the bu$h administration, they just helped the drug industry to go unchecked and maybe even get assistance from a former friend and allie in the "WAR" on Drugs.

The next step Chavez will take is cutting off any oil that is shipped to the US. That is 10% - 20% of US Consumption.

WAY TO F%$#$ING GO BU$HCO!
