CARACAS, Venezuela - President Hugo Chavez on Sunday threatened to cut off oil sales to the United States in an "economic war" if Exxon Mobil Corp. wins court judgments to seize billions of dollars in Venezuelan assets.


Exxon Mobil has gone after the assets of state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA in U.S., British and Dutch courts as it challenges the nationalization of a multibillion dollar oil project by Chavez's government.

A British court has issued an injunction "freezing" as much as $12 billion in assets.

"If you end up freezing (Venezuelan assets) and it harms us, we're going to harm you," Chavez said during his weekly radio and television program, "Hello, President." "Do you know how? We aren't going to send oil to the United States. Take note, Mr. Bush, Mr. Danger."

Chavez has repeatedly threatened to cut off oil shipments to the United States, which is Venezuela's No. 1 client, if Washington tries to oust him. Chavez's warnings on Sunday appeared to extend that threat to attempts by oil companies to challenge his government's nationalization drive through lawsuits.

"I speak to the U.S. empire, because that's the master: continue and you will see that we won't sent one drop of oil to the empire of the United States," Chavez said Sunday.

He is sounding crazier every time he speaks.
He and Bush are a lethal combination. Neither one knows a thing about diplomacy. They both spend all their efforts threatening each other. They're the same. One is in Venezuela, the other in Washington. This sucks for everyone that has to live under these retards.

Yeah, he was great until Bush.

What was the fourth

I was probably wrong about Liberals liking Hitler but they sure do have a "love affair" with Castro & Chavez and they gave that little f-cking creep from Iran a standing ovation when he visited one of the Loony left Wing Colleges....

Liberals have a tendency to admire ANY enemy of America.
