Big Gun Rumsfeld lays down the law: There will be no U.S. intervention in Venezuela. It will be strictly Venezuelan. Because frankly, he thinks Venezuelans know how to take care of business.

The Liberator of Baghdad and Kabul also takes aim at Chavez, warning of Venezuelans’ desire to live in a country that ‘is respected,’ – indirectly indicting Chavez for his clown dictatorship.

Notice Chavez’s wimpy response to Rummy’s curt words, with his ‘welcoming’ of the Rummy statement, a weak answer uncharacteristic of him. He seems to be ignoring the squinty glare in Rumsfeld’s eye that signals The Thug of Caracas’ demise is inevitable. Hugie Baby, you are on your own.
