Venezuela Becomes Leading Arms Purchaser; Hugo Chavez Now Looks Like King Crab
Venezuela has recently become the largest arms purchaser in Latin America. Since Hugo Chavez, as the President with dictatorial powers, gets more of the arms shipments than anyone else, he now looks like a king crab.
The crab-like impression is increased by how red-faced he becomes when he talks about America and George W. Bush.
Clawing his way to the podium to make another speech vilifying the United States, he ridiculed President Bush for making a trip to Latin America, assuring his audience that George would be met with a cool reception and return to the land of the gringo with his tail between his legs. No doubt the thought never occurred to Chavez that he might be projecting his own wishes.
