Why do they say Chavez criticized Bush in "Our Country"?
Is the UN part of the United States? Or is it considered international territory? I've heard so many journalists say how "he comes to OUR country and criticizes OUR President." I thought the UN was not a part of the United States.

9. Lies, deception, fraud, perpetual war, nationalism and
religious intolerance are the prescription for keeping us confused and submissive. All they can do is lie as the truth is not on their side.

10. Not only that, but...
That issue, along with the detaining at the airport of Venezuela's Foreign Minister, Nicholas Maduro, are abuses of our privilege of hosting the United Nations in our country. Such behavior could ultimately result in the UN being relocated, which could injure our chances of ever making up with the rest of the world.

Yes, another building in Manhattan might get knocked down, but this time it won't be the terrorist's fault.

15. Chavez went to Harlem

and did the same - which is when Rep Rangel called Chavez out and said not in my house!

Might be why the MSM says 'Chavez criticized Bush in "Our Country"'.

Blame Rangel if blame is necessary.
