Chavez Says US Occupying Haiti in the Name of Aid

Chavez is a nutball, and he hates the United States, that's for sure.  I respect him for also hating Obama.  After the lovefest that was the Obama election, Chavez is back to blasting the United States including Obama.  I have to at least applaud Chavez' consistency across administrations as I feared that his hatred of the US was focused only on Bush.  Thankfully, it doesn't look like Obama is going to be "friends" with this lunatic.  Chavez' time is running out.  We all know where socialism leads, and it was always clear that Chavez' game was only going to last as long $100 oil.  Oil prices have fallen, and now Venezuela is bankrupt.  Nothing like 40% inflation and a currency devaluation to ruin a wannabe tyrant's party!

I think Chavez is partly correct in his assertion.  No doubt, we will be the leaders in assisting Haiti as the United States tends to do in most situations such as these.  However, I won't be surprised if we ask the Haitians to allow us to keep a military presence there after this is all taken care of.  With the US running the show, I bet it will become a nice vacation spot for the well-to-do in our country.  Yes, that's imperialism, but nothing else ever seemed to work with that country.  Maybe it's wrong, but it IS a better situation.
