Venezuela offers fuel, food to hurricane-hit US

[ermitonto]

Hey, remember Hugo Chávez, the scheming dictator who's trying to turn his country into a haven for pinko commie terrorists to plot against America? You know, since he hates Mairka because he got brainwashed by that anti-Mairkinism and he has nothing better to do than try to get Mairkins killed, out of his inexplicable blind rage towards the inhabitants of the land between Canada and Mexico.

CARACAS (AFP) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez offered to send food and fuel to the United States after the powerful Hurricane Katrina pummeled the US south, ravaging US crude production.

The leftist leader, a frequent critic of the United States and a target himself of US disapproval, said Venezuela could send aid workers with drinking water, food and fuel to US communities hit by the hurricane.

"We place at the disposition of the people of the United States in the event of shortages -- we have drinking water, food, we can provide fuel," Chavez told reporters.

Chavez said fuel could be sent to the United States via a Citgo refinery that has not been affected by the hurricane. Citgo is owned by Venezuela's state-owned oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA).

In the Gulf of Mexico, which accounts for a quarter of total US oil output, 92 percent of crude and 83 percent of natural gas production were shut down due to Hurricane Katrina, which slammed Louisiana and Mississippi, according to US government data.

Venezuela is the fourth-largest provider of oil to the United States, supplying some 1.5 million barrels a day.

Last week, Chavez offered discount gasoline to poor Americans suffering from high oil prices and on Sunday offered free eye surgery for Americans without access to health care.

Howdy ermitonto,

Well..I'm surprised and not surprised,you probably ain't old enough to remember how the Soviets used to want to take every advantage of a political opportunity,to make themselves and communism,look good and America,to look bad..looks like Chavez is borrowing a play out of the Soviet handbook.

Most of the time,the world doesn't help America out,because we're so good at taking care of our own..and the rest of the world,either condemns us for doing too much or too little.

Have a good one...

...much like the U.S. does with the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, formerly known as the School of the Americas, among other various enterprises.

As Americans, it's hugely hypocritical on our part to cast stones at anyone for "funding murder." Left, right or center, you've got to know that's just one of the things we do.

And on topic: who cares? Chavez is making an empty gesture, knowing that we won't even comment on the offer, for political gain. It makes him look magnanimous to offer aid to a nation just after one of its most prominent citizens proposed his assassination.

do a google search for "chavez gives land"...he's turning over land to the people of his country...just giving away hundreds of thousands of acres of land...back to the people...

that's called freedom...

here we have a supreme court that says you have no property rights, and if you don't pay your property taxes, the local government will steal your house...

that's called tyranny...

[amsterdam]

hitler gave land away too?so did lenin and castro?its called socialism and communism.

Howdy pisshead,

Sounds like a bribe to me...don't ya reckon that it's a give-away with conditions ? Like total State control over what happens on the 'free' land ?

Have a good one ...

Hitler gave land away, too. So did Lenin and Castro. It's called socialism and communism.

(And Chavez proudly proclaims his socialist Marxist roots. It's not a big secret.)

[pisshead]

then i guess America used to be a fascist/socialist country...founded on property rights...it's turned into socialism now with all the regulations we have...

and i don't consider freedom to be when our supreme court says you have no property rights, and you don't have to be justly compensated for your land. oh, and by the way, you owe us tens of thousands of back rent for living on your land...

those who have had their land stolen by their own government in the US though should consider it freedom, and just shutup.

no torog, it doesn't sound like a bribe to me at all, as much as i've looked into it. he promised he'd give back the stolen land...and he did.
