"If they kill me, there will be a really guilty party on this planet whose name is the president of the United States, George Bush," Chavez said on his weekly radio program, "Hello, Mr. President."
"If, by the hand of the devil, those perverse plans succeed ... forget about Venezuelan oil, Mr. Bush," he said.
Chavez said he was convinced that Washington was "sketching out the assassination plans" before his Bolivarian Revolution advances in Venezuela and Latin America.

he also said that Castro had warned him of the assassination plans:
"Now, I am going to say it. Neither Fidel Castro nor I talk nonsense.
"If something happens to me, I blame the president of the United States," he said.
