#4 My guess is that a foreign invasion would start after the uprising of Venezuelan middle class and Chavez's attempts to put them down. Foreign invaders would simply secure assets and perhaps grab senior Chavez.

#5 Let's see, Chavez took over Venezuela about 5 years ago, but this week, we stopped selling weapons to him. WTF ?

#6 The trouble with most sophisticated weapons systems is the long and complex logistics tail. Without continued access to spares and tech support, most of the stuff stops working in a few months. Selling somebody sophisticated weapons keeps them tied to you for as long as they want to use them. Hugo's US weapons will be mostly useless by this time next year.

#8 The difference is that Noriega did not help muslim terrorists. Chavez is and the State Department knows it.
Of course the MSM and the rest of the idiots of the world would say it is for the oil.
