Interesting that Venezuela was seeing shortages of staples in 2007, according to the article.

I eagerly await your slander of the Reuters correspondent.

Chavez cut ties again in March of 2008.

I also see that Chavez froze ties yet again, or some more, in 2009 according to the Guardian, that fascist RW rag.

Man, I can do this all day. There is just story after story of Chavez snubbing Columbia.

Lies, all lies, I say.

What a world, what a world.
