Then: “The United States empire is on its way down and it will be finished in the near future, inshallah," Chavez told reporters, ending the statement with the Arabic phrase for "God willing." -- 2006
Congrats to Hugo Chavez. A dictator can't buy this level of legitimacy. Time for him to start playing the US like a fiddle.
I've never understood the weak-in-the-knees appeasement crowd. I guess I've read too much history. Fact is, you can't play these lowlifes. They play you. And the President of the United States walked right into it, grinning. Unreal.
