Solacegirl asked a question in one of the threads about whether or not we have heard Chavez has warned Mexico about a war with the U.S.

What I have been able to find is this article.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - President Hugo Chavez urged soldiers on Sunday to prepare for a guerrilla-style war against the United States, saying that Washington is using psychological and economic warfare as part of an unconventional campaign aimed at derailing his government.
Dressed in olive green fatigues and a red beret, Chavez spoke inside Tiuna Fort—Venezuela’s military nerve-center—before hundreds of uniformed soldiers standing alongside armored vehicles and tanks decorated with banners reading: “Fatherland, Socialism, or Death! We will triumph!”

“We must continue developing the resistance war, that’s the anti- imperialist weapon. We must think and prepare for the resistance war everyday,” said Chavez, who has repeatedly warned that American soldiers could invade Venezuela to seize control of the South American nation’s immense oil reserves.

U.S. officials reject claims that Washington is considering a military attack. But the U.S. government has expressed concern over what it perceives as a significant arms build-up here.

Chavez—a close ally of Cuban leader Fidel Castro—told soldiers the Washington was trying to weaken and divide Venezuelan society, including the armed forces, without resorting to combat.

“It’s not just armed warfare,” said Chavez, a former army officer who is leading what he calls the “Bolivarian Revolution,” a socialist movement named after 19th-century independence hero Simon Bolivar. “I’m also referring to psychological warfare, media warfare, political warfare, economic warfare.”

Chavez seems to have been itching for a fight with the United States for some time. Remember the insults at President Bush at the UN last year, and other statements he has made that we are attempting to take over Venezuela for its oil.

He has purchased billions of dollars worth of helicopters, Kalashnikov rifles and fighter jets to protect Venezuela from an attack by the U.S.

Now he’s thinking of purchasing submarines to go along with his arsenal.

He is a dangerous man and if there is a war between the US and Venezuela I think it will start with Venezuela.

Here’s an instance of an insane man being declared the legitimate victor in a tainted election overseen by former President Carter, without checking ballots that were not hand-fed to him by the Chavez people.

I don’t see us attacking any country in this hemisphere unless we have knowledge they are preparing to attack us.

That’s my opinion.
