Neo-cons Try For Another Coup in Venezuela

Maybe the Bush neo-cons think they might lose the next election, so they are out to do all the damage they can in the next 10 months?

As reported by Reuters.com:

"Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called President Bush an '---hole' on Sunday and told him not to meddle as his opponents battled troops ahead of a ruling on a recall vote against him.

Chavez, who often says the U.S. is backing opposition efforts to topple his government, accused Bush of listening to 'imperialist' aides whom he said advised the U.S. leader to support a brief 2002 coup against him.

'He was an ---hole to believe them,' Chavez roared at a rally of supporters in Caracas.

The Venezuelan leader's comments came as fresh violence broke out on the streets of the capital where National Guard troops clashed with opposition protesters pressing for a referendum to end his five-year rule...

One demonstrator carried a banner reading: "Bye bye Aristide, Chavez you're next," referring to Haiti's leader Jean-Bertrand Aristide who fled* into exile on Sunday in the face of an armed rebellion."
