It wont be long until Iran accuses us of somehow causing his death

Could be a great opportunity for U.S.

Let's see how we handle.

I wouldnt be surprised if we didn't hasten his demise.

Venezuela’s vice president claimed Tuesday that President Hugo Chavez's enemies gave him cancer, as two U.S. diplomats were expelled for an alleged plot to destabilize the government.

Figured that the charge will come from Iran first.

[bredy087]

I'm usually not one for conspiracies but I have no doubt that his death was hastened.

That ish is crazy

No...Litvinenko was directly poisoned with a radioactive substance and died shortly thereafter.

We'd have heard about this well before now.

VP is just as nuts as his former pres.

not that i agree that this is what happened (or that we are above such tactics,) what do you mean "we would have heard about this before now?"

Cancer. No wonder he was such a grouchy bastard. I have had that a couple times. It will make you grouchy.

ROCKVILLE, MD—After noticing several news stories about the failing health of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, local man Spencer Gutowski, 45, struggled Monday to figure out if the death of Chavez was something he was supposed to be pleased about or not. “He’s bad, right? I mean, I’m pretty sure he’s one of the bad ones, but maybe he’s good?” Gutowski told reporters, adding that he believes Chavez is a Communist, which, according to Gutowski, means he should probably want Chavez dead, although he is not entirely certain. “Fidel Castro is bad and I want him to die, and I think Chavez is sort of like him, maybe. I also think I’m not supposed to like Venezuela. But then again [President] Bush didn’t like Venezuela, and I didn’t like Bush, so...” Sources later confirmed that Gutowksi asked if something at some point happened between the Venezuelan leader and actor Sean Penn in which Penn either ended up liking or not liking Chavez.

Hundreds of millions, or perhaps billions of people around the world have contracted cancer and many of them have died from it, yet the US must have played a role in him getting it? I find it hard to believe that the CIA which some of you seem to believe is omnipotent, would take two years to get rid of someone that they decided to kill.


Fwiw, Chavez dying really doesn't gain anything for us. The guy replacing him isn't likely to change his policies.
