QUITO, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez accused the Colombian government of acting against the Union of South American Nations (Unasur) by intending to sign a military agreement with the U.S.
Chavez told Colombian President Alvaro Uribe "to get off the train if you want" while objecting to the U.S. government's planned use of Colombian military bases.
"Some people do not want to walk. The Colombian government, for example, does not want unity. It is acting against the unity," said Chavez at the third Unasur summit held in Quito, capital of Ecuador.
"The same critics who say the United States has not intervened enough in Honduras are the same people who say we're always intervening and [that] Yankees need to get out of Latin America," Obama said in one of the more spirited exchanges during Monday's news conference. "You can't have it both ways."
He said critics were urging the U.S. government to act in a fashion -- perhaps even using force to reinstate Zelaya -- that the same people would condemn in "every other context."

I agree, more posters here should watch that film and then consider the US's meddling in the area.

Why? Chavez was elected by the people, and when a military coup removed him from power mass demonstrations took place with tens of thousands of people who demanded Chavez be reinstated.
Why would he need to cement his position further? The people have spoken.

Why does a man who has strove all his life to cement his power and to ensure that power remains permanent wish to cement power!?!?!?
Originally posted by blueorder I think his desire to cement power is well established and the use of "crisis" mentality is classic false flag behaviour to assist this power mania the man has- he brought increased terms, double terms etc and desires to remove any presidential limit
Originally posted by blueorder The man is a power crazy maniac who has invented a pretend invasion- but hey, if you worship him knock yerself out

Okay, blueorder, let us try and tone down the alarmism a little bit, shall we?
You know the man won an election, right? After a military coup, the people demanded he be returned because he was their choice - how much more cemented do you think his power needs to be?
That's true, and I'm sure the Venezualans will have a referendum on the issue.
Who are we comparing his power-mania to? The US and their puppet presidents?
And no, I don't worship anything, please try controlling your irrepressable urges to fling your hands in the air and declare the end draweth nigh.

Well Slay our first reason for going over there well over a decade ago was to get back American's who had been kidnapped by "REBELS". Wouldn't it seem fit that with all the upheaval in the area to send in a few more to help in assisting the aid workers that are more times than not the ones getting KIDNAPPED FOR RANSOM?
Originally posted by xoxo stacieOh and yes "poor Chavez" the same man who has repeatedly time and again seized factories and supplies from foreign country companies to feed his army? Not his people? It is called Stockholm syndrome people!
Google is your friend deny ignorance and look things up rather than taking ONE article and running with it.
Originally posted by xoxo stacieThere is a whole lot more to this story than meets the eye. On top of ARMING the rebels who have been kidnapping aid workers and tourists for decades; the man has repeatedly gone and "confiscated" the property of companies run by another country.
Originally posted by xoxo stacieHis FEAR is not that there is going to be a war, his fear is that we are going to bail out and leave his stupid butt in the dust. What is he going to do when all the companies he is STEALING from abandon him?
Originally posted by xoxo stacieHe is going to hark of a make believe war that is being waged against him by the big bad USA ;in an effort to commandeer more sympathy for the plight of his people he cares nothing about. DENY IGNORANCE
