nice find GW.....it's unusual for small groups (or any group) in venezuela to telegraph their punches ahead of time...letting miraflores know that they will be there in a week or two could be the beginning of true diplomacy and strategy imo....

it gives hugo a chance to sober up and come up with an idea to put these folks to work before the elections...he has the chance to be a hero...

i.e. "we have forced the transnationals to work for the socialist ideology and will force crystallex to put you poor f'rs to work within two months..they will mine that gold or they will be gone, i swear on my mamas pinoche' mang!!"
