Hugo Chavez vows to 'bury U.S.' in 21st century

25/04/2008 15:16 MEXICO, April 25 (RIA Novosti) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez criticized Washington on Friday after a U.S. aircraft carrier allegedly sailed close to the South American country border without permission.
"When Americans appear with their fleet - the George Washington - near our shores, then one must not forget, that this is happening at a time when, together with Brazil, we are establishing a defense council in South America," he told a public meeting.
"This century, we will bury the old U.S. empire and will live with the American people as brothers, as over 40 million U.S. citizens live on the edge of poverty," the president said.
He also said that Latin America had entered a new era, marked by the creation of a bloc of leftist governments, which included Argentina, Bolivia, Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Chile and Brazil.
The USS George Washington and the George Washington Carrier Strike Group arrived in Brazil April 22 to participate in Unitas 49-08 naval exercises.
Unitas is 49-year-old annual exercise which aims to train participating countries' navies to operate as part of a multinational force employing a variety of maritime scenarios. Argentina and Brazil are also taking part in the naval exercise with Chile and Ecuador acting as observers.
The USS George Washington left its home port of Norfolk in the U.S. en route to its eventual new home in Yokosuka in Japan, where it will replace the USS Kitty Hawk.
The USS George Washington's flight deck is 4.5 acres and has a crew of up to 6,000.

Hmmm... did US Forces cross into Venezuelan Waters or Air Space? Nope.... so then that means that the US Navy cannot go into either international waters near Venezuela or into national waters in which US Forces are invited into.

Fat Chance. Hugo Chavez is spouting his typical "America is Evil, Death to American Yankees!" communist crap propaganda.

It is interesting he mentions Brazil as part of this process as there are quite a few people predicting them as one of the "next generation" of possible superpowers. Given their natural resources and high population it will be interesting to see if they can get their act together and achieve it.

As far as Chavez goes I am amazed he has lasted this long given the political instability in that part of the world so he is either doing something to keep the people from lynching him or the yearly central American revolution circuit has missed Venezuela for the last couple of years.
 
What is Hugo going to do about it anyway? I think the Venezuelan Navy V.S. a US Carrier battle group would be a very brief and explosion filled adventure for Hugo.
