1 Who, exactly, does that fat fuck think he is going to sell the oil to?

2 Make. My. Dia, diablo.

3 I didn't think he sold a lot of oil to us. We do have CITGO here which is his.

Hell why don't we "nationalize them". Don't we owe him a couple of "nationalizations"? The government can simply take them using Kelo, refuse to pay, and sell them to Exon and use the money to retire debt. 

4 I believe that VE has high sulfur oil and the and place where high sulfur oil can be processed is... the United States.

Where does Hugo plan on selling the oil to where it can be processed?

5 Of course since he and Bambi are both commies they will be all asshole buddies.

6 Quick!  Someone get Ollie Stone on this!  He's Hugo's butt buddy.  Maybe he can get a favor for us.

7 Chavez screwed up here. If he had been aggressive but avoided actual acts of war (as cutting off oil shipments might be construed to be) his allies in Washington might have provided cover. Now, it will be harder to do so. This will piss off all the wrong people.

Let me be clear,Colombia has acted stupidly. I know Hugo, and he is a great guy.

9 In O'Carter's utopia, we'll all be Venezuela.  Hope we make it until 2012.  Oh, I saw somewhere this morning that John Thune may be considering running.  (He's certainly easy on the eyes.)

10 Chavez is the Saddam Hussein of South America and needs to be dealt with in the same manner.

11 Where does Hugo plan on selling the oil to where it can be processed?

They have a few refineries in Venezuela.  Belarus has one.  Iran and China were building them, but I don't know how far they have gotten.  Hugo needs to keep shitting on his country and his people.  Maybe he can find himself in the same situation as Zelaya did in Honduras.

12 Ace, Gabriel, PA, all:  OT, but I got sent this great vid on race and the Democrats called "Runaway Slave".  I 'daresay' it is worth sharing here on this wonderful forum.

13 Chavez is the Saddam Hussein of South America

That plus a healthy dose of the Robert Mugabe School of Leftist Economics

14 Feel free to stop selling it to us... and we will stop giving you cash money for it.  Trade... its a 2 way street shit head.

15 The UN security council will undoubtedly take care of this unfortunate issue. I repudiate the far-right wing of my party; too many of them have became enthralled by the covert racism of the Tea Party movement, and and are pushing for a military response to this purley political problem.

16 Maybe he can find himself in the same situation as Zelaya did in Honduras.

Zelaya got lucky, deposed dictators usually find themselves face down in shallow unmarked graves out in the jungle.

17 Let him eat his damned oil.  See how long THAT lasts.

18 Hugo, we've  got plenty of people dying to sell us oil. It's just our strategy to use up the oil of hostile nations prior to friendly nations, prior to our own. That way, when crude approaches the value of gold, you poor saps won't have any left. Don't want to play the game any more?


*dialing*
Hello Prime Minister Harper..You wouldn't happen to have some oil laying around you'd be interested in selling to the US....Great thanks!...How's Laureen?....Good good, and Ben and Rachel?....Awww aren't kids great? Anyway got to go talk to you later.
*click*

There Hugo, problem solved, throw your little temper tantrum. You can sell your oil to the Chinese, Canada can sell theirs to us, that's how it probably ought to be anyway.

You assume that Obama sees anything wrong with that. I'm pretty sure Obama has a level of admiration for any leftist thug "who get's things done".

20 Since oil is fungible, it's not much of a threat.

21

well hopefully for Chavez he can find a way to feed and cloth his people with oil. If I am not mistaken, the united states is one of the only, if not the only, nation that has refinaries capable of processing Venezuelian heavy crude.

 

22 See the advantage of going green? Energy need never hold us hostage. The sun always shines, except for most of the day. The wind will never stop, except for most of the week. Our hydro dams always run, except if there are fish that could be harmed. Batteries will magically take up the slack.

I knew that bipartisanship would save us!

24 t-bird:

You forgot that battery manufacturing pollutes.

25 WTF?

Is Columbia the only one that has enough balls to stand up to this petulant POS?

26 Maybe the Indonesian Imbecile needs to give Venezuela another few billion for development of their oil resources.  The first few billion weren't quite enough ...

27 Is Columbia the only one that has enough balls to stand up to this petulant POS?

Don't forget Honduras, which stood fast against two lunatic dictators, Chavez and the Indonesian Imbecile.

28 If Columbia makes a move against Chavez that oil is going to stop flowing regardless of what Hugo wants to do, and the decision to restart production won't likely be his.

29 t-bird -- except for all of the lithium and rare earths we will need to import to make said batteries.

30 Has Barry issued an apology to Comrade Hugo yet? Or least sent him an iPod with his greatest hits on it? And if that fails Sean Penn on kneepads.

31 Chavez, the noisy little toad, will end up with his punkin head adorning a pike, as do most all South American small time dictators. Wait and see. At some point, he will piss off enough people to make his removal necessary. Zero will come out of early retirement to give his eulogy, and maybe throw himself into the casket in his unbearable grief.

32 Good then we can look forward to the closing of all the ugly Citgo stations.  Shell has been buying them around me in Northern Illinois (title holder of the most Governors imprisoned in the last fifty years.).

33 Hugo is full of shit.  Again.  Yeah, we buy his oil.  But Venezuelan oil has a heavy sulfur content and needs added refining.  If he doesn't sell to us, he won't find another ready market easily.  Any buyer knows they'll incur added costs.

But I pray that he does pull the plug.  Citgo and Joey Kennedy will end up in the trash can.

34 Chavez threatens to halt US oil shipments —Purple Avenger

 

Aw gee, what a loss.

Oil from Venezuela is the lowest grade oil that this country receives, which has caused some authorities on the issue to suspect that, for years now, oil refineries in the USA have been stupid enough to accept Venezuela's nearly useless oil sludge, while Venezuela sends their higher grade oil to China and to Cuba. 

Venezuela's oil that we receive is somewhat like the filthy and heavily contaminated sludge that you drain out of your car's crank case when you change your car's oil. Maybe USA's refineries could collect, filter, refine and recyle that oil, instead of buying oil from Venezuela, ya think?

Americans are such suckers.

35

To boost the Venezuelan economy as a deterrant to communists who were attempting to take over that country, the Eisenhower Administration pressed for imports of Venezuelan oil, and Venezuela became a founding member of OPEC in 1960, also.  In other words, the USA imported low grade, shitty oil from Venezuela to deter Communism, only to find that the determined Communists took over that country 40 years later anyway, making an excellent case for us to cease imports of shitty oil from that country, oil which we don't need anyway.

We don't owe those jackasses anymore favors. Let them slide into poverty worse than they're already experiencing under Hugo Chevez. Those fools and ingrates deserve to live in poverty and misery.

If God didn't mean for them to be sheared, He wouldn't have made them the stupidest sheep on this planet. (They have beautiful women, though. Oh Lordy, but do they have luscious women in Venezuela. Makes you wonder what God was thinking when He made their women beautiful and their men incredibly stupid.)

36 Instead of importing Venezuuela's shitty oil, the USA should be importing Venezuela's exceptionally luscious women, a result of the cross-breeding of Venezuelans of Spanish ancestory with Nazis who fled Germany in 1945. But then, if Venezuela exported their luscious woman, all that would be left there would be the biggest shithole on this planet.

Yeah, it is shit oil, for sure. Got a friend that works for Saybolt that backs it up.

If only it was  worn out Taxi sump oil, it would be a helluvalot better than what's pumped out and sent here to refine now.
