Chavez Tells Army to Prepare for Possible War With Colombia

CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez ordered Venezuela's military on Sunday to prepare for a possible armed conflict with Colombia, saying the country's soldiers should be ready if the United States attempts to provoke a war between the South American neighbors.

"The best way to avoid war is preparing for it," Chavez told military officers standing at attention during his weekly television and radio program.

Repeating an often-used military adage, he added, "If you want peace, prepare for war."

Chavez told his supporters that President Barack Obama holds sway over Colombia's government, and he cautioned the U.S. leader against using his allies in Bogota to mount a military offensive against Venezuela.

"Don't make a mistake, Mr. Obama, by ordering an attack against Venezuela by way of Colombia," he said.

The former paratroop commander voiced concern over an agreement between Bogota and Washington giving the American military personnel more access to Colombia's military bases through a 10-year lease agreement.

Chavez also reiterated what he said is his fear that U.S. soldiers could use the bases as launching pads for an attack on his country to seize control of its immense oil reserves.

Colombian and U.S. officials say the agreement is necessary to more effectively help Colombia's security forces fight drug traffickers and leftist rebels — not mount military strikes against Colombia's neighbors.

On Thursday, Venezuela sent 15,000 soldiers to the border with Colombia, saying the military buildup was necessary to increase security along the border, combat drug trafficking and root out paramilitary groups.

The deployment follows a series of shootings and slayings that have heightened tensions between the two countries.

He does have a point.....

Who has a point? You can't really mean Chavez? The man who ignores elections? The man that allows the new Soviets to put a base in his country? Obama? The man who ignores or supports this communist expansion?

Huh? How can OBama support him and then have our troops plan to overthrow him? Now that doesn't make sense....besides we've been interfering/eddling down there since who knows how long....black ops by the CIA...special advisers and all that...

he bought weapons from iran and fighter jets from russia, russia is doing joint military "exercises" there....don't think for a moment he wouldn't hit the southwest and west coast given enough reason.....considering the help he has....i for one think his strings are being pulled behind that curtain by those who supplied him....can he invade here and win? nope, but he sure can create a world wide "incident!"...

Hold your horses there bucko..If you read the first few lines about what Chavez says, "the best way to prevent war is to prepare for it." That sounds to me like number 1, he doesn't necessarily want a war, and number 2, he is taking a page out of your book Mr. Shooter...Peace through superior firepower...He said as much. On top of all that, You claim to be no fan of the main stream media..Where are you getting your information?If you were to really look into what is going on in both Columbia and Venezuela, you might have an entirely different opinion...
Chavez is not the tyrant he has been made out to be in the American media...

[chefdennis]

thats right, but with the help of iran and russia he now out guns Columbia..and even though we now are "working' on having bases there, barry will diddle around for months before he even considers making a move in hugo...look at how he is dealing with the real afghan war...what makes you think he would move faster to attack another socialist government....

[OntarioVanMan]

How many advisors in Columbia now...1,000's? how many engineers? The bases are there....
