So here it is again: Chavez achieved exactly what he intended with his speech.

I really can't fathom how anyone can think he was going for anything other than shock and news coverage. Seriously, do you really think he was trying to be tactful and diplomatic? Seriously?

Following you now...I think.

If you're asking me if his sole purpose was to be a blowhard and get his X minutes of world fame & fortune, and be on news telecasts everywhere around the world? My answer is confusingly, I don't know. But you do raise an interesting point...again, if I'm following you. Are you saying he just merely wanted to be a thespian...and let that side out of him that's been trapped all his life? 😛

Of course. His whole performance was theatrical. It served the purpose of gaining a lot of coverage, and offering a parallel to Bush's own theatrics and posturing. Like PVS insinuated, they are both playing the same game.

He already has his X minutes because he's a world leader.

I doubt it was theatrics; he really meant what he said.

No he is a ********* clown wanna be important political leader....he ought to think about his country, what good does it to be th 4th largest oil exporting country with no one to export too cause those clown cant be trusted and he would use his countries oil reserves to "hijack" oil negotiations bullocks the peoples of his country that could really be aided by the money brought in by oil sold...........but mr Prez Venezuela thinks that that money suits him better than the needed people of Venezuela

I can take him seriously. He's an awesome prez. Close as I think anyone is going to get to my vision of a perfect figurehead.

Personally, I'd have called Bush by name and told him he was an ******* to his face, if I had been in his position, but he got his point across.
