Motive for Pat Robertson's Republican fatwah clearly revealed

[quiet.american]

I'm sure we've all seen this little recent item -- it very neatly reveals the true motives for Pat Robertson's Republican fatwah on Hugo Chavez, especially the last sentence. Obscenity, thy name is Pat Robertson.

Chavez noted that Petrocaribe was designed as an integral proposal to meet the energy needs of Caribbean countries that do not produce oil and within the framework of the Bolivarian Alternative of the Americas (ALBA).

Chavez launched ALBA as an alternative to the US-proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas agreement (FTAA).

The Venezuelan President said his Petrocaribe initiative was not limited to the supply of hydrocarbons and also contemplated the development of infrastructure.

Therefore, Petrocaribe will work on the construction of installations and structures for fuel storage in those nations that are signatories of the initiative, he said.

The central idea behind Petrocaribe is to establish a direct relationship between oil producers and the end consumer aimed at avoiding intermediaries and their impact on the elevated cost of energy, he said.

1. Robertson's "fatwah"

It's an excellent, accurate, and damning parallel. I'll use it every day.

2. Thanks for the shout-out :) -- I'm not the first to use it, here ---
