And now Chavez is threatening war again ! Chavez has been very quite lately , He , just like Kim Jong-il ,always looks for confrontation to get his Name in the news again !
CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Sunday put
troops on alert after a coup in Honduras and said he would respond
militarily if his envoy to the Central American country was kidnapped
or killed.
Chavez said Honduran
soldiers took away the Cuban ambassador and left the Venezuelan
ambassador on the side of a road after beating him during the army's
coup against his leftist ally, Honduran President Manuel Zelaya.
The
Honduran army ousted Zelaya and exiled him in Central America's first
military coup since the Cold War, after he upset the army by trying to
win re-election.
Chavez said on
state television if his ambassador to Venezuela was killed, or if
troops entered the Venezuelan Embassy, "that military junta would be
entering a de facto state of war. We would have to act militarily ... I
have put the armed forces of Venezuela on alert."
Ecuadorean
President Rafael Correa, part of a coalition of leftist governments
headed by Chavez that includes Honduras, said he would support military
action if Ecuador's diplomats or those of its allies were threatened.
