Chavez Moving Against Columbia?
If those battalions move across the border, Chavez had better expect a volley of cruise missiles at his command and control centers. The US will not allow Chavez to topple the elected government in Colombia. It would probably provide the only possible reason Washington would use military force against Chavez, and even this skeptical Congress would have little choice but to support the defense of an American ally under attack from a hostile nation.

President Hugo Chavez ordered Venezuela’s embassy in Colombia closed and told the military to send 10 battalions to the border after Colombian troops killed a top rebel leader.
We are stretched thin in Iraq and Afghanistan while Israel and Iran get ready to punch it out.
Now we have Chavez playing bully in South America.
And, we cannot forget Putin is watching Kosovo (and we all know Medvedev is just a puppet).
Interesting times.
