CHAVEZ OUSTER: WHO FIRED THE FIRST SHOTS?

VENEZUELAN EL PRESIDENTE HUGO CHAVEZ IS BACK, BUT THOSE WHO FAILED TO TOPPLE HIM THIS TIME ARE SURE TO TRY AGAIN

Picture Preview

Videotape footage, shown to the National Assembly in Caracas 17 April, suggests that snipers fired at Chavez supporters as well as at his opponents as the two groups converged in a march the previous Thursday that precipitated his short-lived ouster.

Given that the morally repugnant Bush administration has finally admitted that U.S. officials months ago met with anti-Chavez plotters to discuss ways to stick it to El Presidente, one needn't be a bloody Sherlock to figure who - once again - was behind yet another attempted overthrow of a Left-leaning Latin American government.

As in the Middle East and Afghanistan, it's all about American desire to control world oil supply.
