Caracas - US actions against Venezuela reached almost a virulent level this week with multiple attacks by officials from the former and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez forewarned this year would be hard and predicted the current Washington-based international discrediting campaign.
It looks like the US will go all out until next December to foil the likely victory of Chavez, which will not be an easy task since 70 percent of the population supports him.
His well-liked social policies, based on better redistribution of national oil profits, political alliances and weakening of the opposition have set a straight course for victory.
US Secretary of Dense Donald Rumsfeld, John Negroponte, Director of National Intelligence, and British Prime Minister Tony Blair have formed a sort of bandwagon for Chavez bashing.
These aggressions boost tensions created by the recent Venezuelan discovery of a military espionage network organized in that country by the US Navy. |
