I have to applaud the brilliance of Chavez. By making his request a public spectacle as he did, it will be very difficult for the western banking cartel to attack him without great public scrutiny. Both Sadam and Ghaddafi found out the hard way what happens when you try to leave the poker table. The Western oligarchs are now focused on Syria so it will be very difficult for them to manufacture some sort of public unrest or humanitarian mission on such short notice. If they do not return the sovereign wealth of venezuala to the people of venezuala it will be very difficult for the MSM to put on a positive spin. I can't wait to see how this all plays out.
