Despite his pretensions of revolutionary leadership, Chavez has done nothing -- yet -- to threaten U.S. access to VE oil, ensuring for him the favor of the Bush White House.

Seems to me this was a threat to U.S. oil supply.

The six-week strike led by right-wing business groups and unions to force the democratically elected President Hugo Chavez from office has severely cut Venezuela's oil production from its usual 3.1 million barrels per day.

Follow the money, as you indicate, and you find that maybe it's not in the best interest of the people to prop up a coup by cutting out the legs of their economy. All oil is fungible, so it don't matter who's buying it -- us or Cuba. What's interesting is that it was the right-wing biz folks who tried to use oil as leverage to unseat a democratically elected leader.

Grasshopper wants to know: Are you suggesting that Chavez should use oil to unseat himself as well?
