I find it ironic in a way that, a day after AoE JV member Comrade Chavez shuts down RCTV and protesters are doused with water cannon and rubber bullets...that he goes after CNN and Globovision (another Venezuelan TV network) for inciting his assassination (not that the DFC son of a bitch doesn’t deserve it...quite the contrary!), but doesn’t do the same against one other particular person who also had a hand in such an accusation.
Who would that be, you ask? Why, Pat Robertson of course, for his far-reaching quote from two years ago:
“We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don’t need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It’s a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with.”
Just slightly ahead of its time, that’s all.
