President Hugo Chavez accused his opponents on Thursday of representing U.S. interests and trying to stir up discontent in Venezuela's military while he undergoes cancer treatment in Cuba.

Chavez addressed the nation on television twice by phone, saying he was in bed receiving a fourth consecutive day of chemotherapy and expected to return to Venezuela soon.

He mocked his opponents, saying their coalition is "of the United States."

"All of those attacking the Armed Force are subordinated to imperialism," Chavez said, using the formal name for the Venezuelan military. "They're following the orders of imperialism, trying to divide the Armed Force, trying to demoralize it."
