Venezuela’s Chavez condemns US role in Libya

The hypocrisy of Hugo Chavez, as that of most politicians and especially dictators, is to be expected. However, it is the level of hypocrisy, even as he battles cancer, that is difficult to fathom.

Here’s a dictator who, as president of Venezuela, has stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from the country while millions of “his” people live in poverty. A man who has allied himself with the communist scum-brothers from Cuba (Fidel and Raul Castro) and as if that’s not enough he continues to defend Gaddafi; a murderer who has been in power for over 40 years and who without question is the number one buffoon on this planet. And now, Chavez is praying for the Libyan people? He doesn’t even care for his own people; does anyone really believe that this dirt-bag is sincere when he prays to God for the people of Libya? My answer is yes. Unfortunately, I believe that millions of his blind followers do. TGO

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Sunday condemned NATO’s bombings in Libya, saying the aim is to seize control of the country’s oil wealth.

Chavez has been a staunch defender of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. He did not say whether he had been in contact with the Libyan leader in recent days and did not refer directly to the rebels who entered the capital of Tripoli on Sunday.

“Let’s pray to God for the Libyan people,” Chavez said during a televised speech.

Chavez condemned the latest NATO airstrikes in the country, as well as the roles of the United States and some European nations.

“Today they dropped I don’t know how many bombs, and they’re falling in a shameless and open way… on schools, hospitals, homes, work places, factories, farm fields at this very moment,” Chavez said. “They’re practically demolishing Tripoli with their bombs.”

He said U.S. and other powers had sought excuses to try to take over the country.

“It’s the excuse to intervene and seize a country and its riches,” Chavez said.

The leftist leader has repeatedly condemned NATO’s role in Libya and recently called the country’s rebels a “group of terrorists.”
