Chavez: U.S. will 'bite the dust' if it invades

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez told thousands of visiting students that if U.S. forces were to invade the South American country, they would be soundly defeated.

The U.S. government has strongly denied Chavez's claims that it is considering military action against Cuba's closest ally in the Americas.

But Chavez said late Monday that the U.S. government, which "won't stop caressing the idea of invading Cuba or invading Venezuela," should be warned of the consequences.

"If someday they get the crazy idea of coming to invade us, we'll make them bite the dust defending the freedom of our land," Chavez said to applause.

He spoke during the opening ceremony of a world youth festival bringing together student delegations from across the world and convened under the slogan "Against Imperialism and War."

Chavez called the United States the "most savage, cruel and murderous empire that has existed in the history of the world."

LOL...gimme a break! The US has no reason to invade Cuba or Venezuela...he's just looking for a rally point to rally his supporters by...at the expense of their otherwise peaceful attitudes. Not much diff from Islamic radicals. Spoil the peace of thousands for the sake of personal power/control/money. Nothing positive can come of this, to be sure....but thanks for sharing...again...Mike. :kizz

Well, apparently we had no reason to invade Iraq but that didn't stop us. Who knows, maybe Venezuela has all the phantom WMD's.

My music for the disenchanted masses

I think he is doing an "NK", as in North Korea. Spewing random bull about eridicating nonexisting invading US troops. He hopes to have high rate nuclear talks with a bunch of stiffs in suits sometime in the future and be able to demand some kind of astronomic compensation for not building the bomb.
