On a side note, Chavez was elected in open elections monitored by UN and OAS, and he was the one who faced a 'coup-d'etat', not otherwise, so really no clue what are you talking about  |
ha, ha. thats really funny. watch Chavez go down in flames with oil for 40 bucks.
He isnt even able to pay western oil service companies for around 4 months and just seized up one huge oil rig (brought from US to the Columbia) as the company refused to work for them when they dont pay.
Under his leadership the oil production went down from 3mb to 2mb daily, while they have a great possiblity to produce much more...
and what is he going to do with low oil prices? I read sometimes in the past:
"Venezuela to seize gold concessions as oil falls, Chavez says"
this wont help him at all, but it shows that he is really getting desperate..
